How to Know If You
’re Ready to Own a 
Horse
The relationship between horse and rider is 
typically one of a team dynamic. It requires deep 
understanding and connection to learn from one 
another and grow together. For this—along with 
a million other reasons—buying a horse is a 
serious decision. The trust required to grow as a 
rider with a horse is significant. Endeavoring to Horse Owners Club
find a creature you could trust in this way is a 
serious initiative and a life-changing decision.

major decision.
Your Reason to Buy 
a Horse
Understanding why you want to own a 
horse vs. lease one or take lessons on one 
or many horses, is really important. It’s one 
thing to love horses, which anyone reading 
this likely does, but another thing entirely 
to be responsible for one. Other expensive 
hobby-related indulgences—boats, cars, 
expensive instruments, for example—don’t 
have anywhere near the emotional 
commitment involved nor the level of 
responsibility towards maintenance.

01 Do you have Enough Time for a 
Horse?
In my experience on the journey to ultimately 
buying a horse, recognizing where I spent my time, 
how I’d need to reprioritize my time, and my 
willingness to make these tradeoffs were the most 
significant considerations of the decision process. 
02 Your Financial Stability for Buying a 
Horse
Earlier I noted that it’s not just having the money, 
it’s being okay with spending it on a horse. While 
that is true and is a place a would-be horse owner 
needs to come to terms with, having the money is a 
big part of the horse ownership decision.
