hey i have a question for you horseback riders out there. okay so we were going to buy a horse and were all up for it and stuff (for my christmas present) but then my dad meets this guy on a business trip who talks to him about horses and stuff and how my riding coach is not right and that she shouldn't be trusted. apparently this guy has won a lot of awards or whatever and ugh i dont know. he rides western and i ride english. he told my dad that i shouldnt even ride english if i just like the joy of riding.. he says theres a 15% chance i can get paralyzed if i fall. so now my dad's all up in my ass right. and now he says the boarding fees at my horseback riding place are WAY too high and that my coach doesn't know what she's doing after his little "talk". he still has this guys business card. SO. my question is.. how much should you spend on your first horse? and also how long did you wait? i'm not jumping yet, just cantering. help would be so appreciated. thanks so much! (link)

hey .. i have a bunch of horses myself and never paid more than 1000 fpr any of them. doesnt matter how much one is at all. I have a QH who is one of 7 purebred QH horses in my state and paid i think 1100 for him and hes as good as they come. ive been thrown through fences .. kicked whatnot and never got anything so much as stitches so there should be no worries. good luck
