Which horse is best for me?<\/h2>\n

When choosing a horse, it is important to consider that both horse and rider possess certain qualities and characteristics that should naturally complement each other<\/strong>. Often, we only focus on the expectations of the horse. However, the rider should realistically assess his\/her riding skills<\/strong> and abilities before buying in order to find the right partner.<\/p>\n

To facilitate the search for the right mount, the dream horse should be outlined as precisely as possible. The following criteria can help:<\/p>\n

Which horse breed suits me?<\/h2>\n

There are more than 350 horse breeds worldwide. It is almost impossible to represent all of them. However, in most cases the breed is not the decisive factor for a purchase, unless the horse is to be used for breeding purposes. However, all breeds are assigned to different types of horses<\/strong>. These types have certain features and characteristics. We speak of the exterior<\/strong> (physical characteristics) and the interior<\/strong> (psychological characteristics and behaviour).
\nDepending on which temperament and physical build are desired, certain breeds can be given a closer look and shortlisted. In our overview of horse breeds you will find detailed information about the horse types. But before buying, every rider should be clear about the discipline<\/strong> in which the horse will be used. Because not all horses are suitable for the chosen discipline.<\/p>\n

Personality \/ Behaviour of the horse<\/h2>\n

Just like humans, horses can have many different personalities. Their character become apparent under saddle and also on the ground. It is a mixture of genes and environment. For example, there are calm, patient, forgiving, sensitive, stubborn, strong-nerved or level-headed horses. Performance ability and temperament also play a role. Beginners<\/strong> should start with calm and quiet horses. With experienced riders<\/strong> there is no magic formula. A hot-tempered, restless horse can be well handled by a calm or temperamental rider. However, the character of the horse is decisive for the relationship between horse and rider and therefore an important criterion for a test ride.<\/p>\n

What level of training does the horse have?<\/h2>\n

The level of training<\/strong> the horse should have depends on the rider’s experience. An inexperienced rider should choose a horse with solid basic training. The ambitious competition rider usually has higher expectations, so that a future competition career can be achieved with the new partner. When choosing, it is important that the horse has ability in the desired disciplines and meets the rider’s own level.<\/p>\n

What is the horse’s age?<\/h2>\n

Generally speaking, older horses<\/strong> are more seasoned and therefore calmer<\/strong> than younger ones<\/strong>. So if you prefer an experienced partner, you should not consider very young horses. However, no two horses are the same<\/strong>, for example there may be calm candidates among the young horses that are also suitable for beginners.<\/p>\n

What is the height of the horse?<\/h2>\n

If you are a petite rider<\/strong>, you should choose a smaller horse. Tall riders<\/strong> will get along better with larger horses. A small horse will not have an easy time with a tall rider. On the one hand, the weight of the rider<\/strong> can become a problem, on the other hand, the horse has to balance the high centre of gravity of the big rider. Again, this is only a rule of thumb and always depends on other criteria.<\/p>\n

What sex is the horse?<\/h2>\n

Stallions<\/strong> show dominant behaviour. Entires are often difficult to handle and need strong and consistent leadership. Geldings<\/strong> are usually more sociable due to their castration and easier to handle when riding. Mares<\/strong>, especially when they are in season, can be a little bitchy and therefore more difficult to handle. Beginners are often advised to choose a gelding. However, horses are living beings and not uniform and there are plenty of easygoing stallions and mares.<\/p>\n

The choice should therefore still be made on an individual basis. In general, there are many unique criteria and every horse is an individual. However, the horse should match the rider’s wishes and ability so that both can be happy. Before buying, the horse should definitely be tried out in order to be able to better assess the character, level of training, etc.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you looking for the perfect horse?
