Some people, especially little girls, are born loving horses.  They want their parents to buy a horse.  It is a single-minded passion.  A parent, however, has dozens of questions:

How much does a horse cost?
What do we need to learn about buying a horse?
How much will it cost to keep a horse?
Where can we board a horse?
What do we need to learn about horse care?
What horse equipment do we need?
How old should my daughter be to ride a horse?
What do we need to know about riding safety?

Fortunately there is one answer to all these questions.  Don’t purchase a horse.  Sign up for riding lessons.  The benefits to youth far outweigh any cost or inconvenience.  It’s the best thing you can do for your child and for horses.
