As a horse lover, I know just how EXCITING it is to get your own horse for the very first time. I mean this is what you’ve been waiting for!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, I also know how expensive horse equipment can be and how stressful it can be to sift through all the stuff out there to find something that suits the needs of you and your horse without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today I thought I would go through this process with you and guide you through some of the key points, which will hopefully answer how to buy horse tack for the first time and what to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have a horse? Are you planning on maybe buying one in the next few years? If you don’t have a horse, then you do not need to be buying tack yet. Unless you have physically seen the horse and paid for the horse and you expect to receive the horse in the next few days or maybe weeks, then don’t even think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like anything else that’s expensive, budgeting is always the responsible thing to do before you start. You should set the following amounts before you start looking for horse equipment: ideal price and maximum price. Just like it sounds the ideal price is what you would love to pay for a piece of tack – let’s say a saddle – and the maximum price is how much you’ll be willing to go up to if the saddle is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
