Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Well A lot of people have horses that
have never had a riding lesson or need
to board them. It depends on where you
live.
If you lived on a farm or out in the
country with a little land to have a
horse on it would be perfect. You don't
want a horse that someone else has to take
care of.
So, if you live in a city right now,
maybe you could get a job helping
to take care of other peoples horses
until you are old enough to have your
dream place complete with horses.
Horses can get pretty expensive to
keep. So you have to be able to
afford them. :)

well I am not sure why you can't have a horse, but if money is a problem than you can look into a lease, there are half leases and full leases.
Full leases are usually where you can take the horse to your own barn/ and or property, and you are in charge of paying all fees, vet bills, farrier, feed, or anything else that comes up. Most leases are for a year and at the end of the year you have the option to buy.
Half leases do not take as much responsibility. These leases are where you basically get the horse and you pay your monthly fee's and the horse stays at the owners property, and they will do vet bills, farrier, and all the fee's taken in owning a horse. Usually these horses have a higher monthly price. But then the only responsibility you have is riding and grooming. (Alot of times riding lessons can be offered for either lease) Im not sure how old you are but you could also get a job and pay for part of the monthly fee if you work something out with your parents. Some barns will hire you to clean stalls in exchange for a lease of a horse, but those can be tricky because you have to work enough hours and scheduals are very important in these, some owners are not very flexible! You might also consider just taking lessons and useing a horse from the barn you take lessons at, most times you then have the same responsibilities as you do in a half lease. If you want to give me your circumstances you are under Im sure I can come up with something to help you out!!! Good luck!

Well you didn't give much information, so I'm not sure how much experience you have with horses, or why it's "impossible" for you to get one. I wouldn't recommend that anyone get a horse unless they have ATLEAST a year's worth of riding lessons under their belt. Also know that you should be prepared to spend around $8000 per year for boarding, feed, tack, farrier, vet, & other misc expenses. If you gave more information, it'd be easier for me to help you.
