With the right questions, you can learn a lot of information about the horse. Here are the most important questions to ask when buying a horse and which potential pitfalls you should not ignore.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 important questions to ask when buying a horse<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying the most important questions to ask when buying a horse can be very helpful before signing a horse purchase contract. You can easily <strong>save these on your mobile phone or write them on a piece of paper<\/strong> to take with you to the potential seller of your future horse. This way you can be sure that none of your questions will remain unanswered when buying a horse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have put together an <strong>overview of the most important questions<\/strong> to ask when buying a horse. You could also copy them into a document and print them out!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">1. Why is the horse being sold?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question is especially interesting for private purchases. Is the horse being sold because the owner<strong> can no longer care enough for it<\/strong>? Or is it because the horse has <strong>a few quirks<\/strong> that the previous owners don&#8217;t want to deal with?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">2. What is the horse&#8217;s character like?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the character of a horse plays a big role for the owner. Some like bright, lively horses, whereas others may want to take a quieter approach. Often there is also that &#8220;one moment&#8221; when the buyer looks the horse in the eye and knows straight away: <strong>&#8220;This is my horse.&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>behaviour outside<\/strong> is also worth noting. If you want to ride out on your own, the horse should have no problem separating from its herd. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">3. What is the horse&#8217;s level of training?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here it is especially important to understand what YOU would like to achieve. Bear in mind, however, that <strong>highly trained horses are not suitable for beginners,<\/strong> because they want to be stimulated. Accordingly, the level of training should be well matched in order to be happy together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">4. Known illnesses or operations?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should definitely ask about the horse&#8217;s <strong>medical history.<\/strong> Has the horse had a vet check at the time of purchase? This health check will give you information about possible problems. For example, if a horse has already been diagnosed with arthrosis, this can considerably <strong>impair the riding.<\/strong> The vaccination status and last dental check should also be asked for. In addition, look at the condition of <strong>the hooves<\/strong> and, if relevant, ask about the last farrier&#8217;s visit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">5. If it is a gelding: When was he castrated? \/ If it is a mare: How does she behave when she is in season?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When stallions are castrated late, they usually still show some <strong>stallion behaviour<\/strong> when they are older. This means that the time of castration can be a decisive factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mares may display some<strong> &#8221; bullish&#8221; behaviour<\/strong>, as they say, especially when in seasont. Find out how she normally behaves during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">6. How many owners did the horse already have?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constantly changing owners is not very pleasant for horses. Moreover, there may be <strong>some reasons for this.<\/strong> It could be that the horse has hidden problems and is constantly being passed on for this reason. You should really be sure when you buy a horse to avoid such issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">7. Does the horse have any known &#8220;vices&#8221;?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If the horse weaves, cribs or shows other <strong>disorders<\/strong>, this may reduce the price of the horse.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">8. Previous keeping method<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, the current form of stabling is the same as the future one. A change of stable usually means enormous stress for horses. To help with this, the stabling should be relatively similar or the horse should be allowed to <strong>get used to the new stabling slowly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">9. What feed has been given up to now?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Changing feed, just like changing stables, means enormous stress for horses. When both happen at the same time, it can lead to problems. The horse&#8217;s stomach is a very sensitive organ. Try to follow the previous feeding method, both in terms of <strong>feed and frequency<\/strong> per day. If you want to make a change, it should be done slowly over a period of at least 14 days.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. What is the price of the horse?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least, the most important question is the price. People don&#8217;t like to talk about numbers. Therefore, the price is often asked<strong> at the end of the discussion<\/strong>. Depending on your preference and how important the price is, you can also raise it at the beginning of the conversation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid these common mistakes when buying a horse!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a horse is certainly an <strong>emotional experience.<\/strong> However, during this emotional experience it is easy to get carried away and forget that there is more to buying a horse than meets the eye. Especially for beginners, the &#8220;wrong&#8221; first horse can mean the end of the love and passion for horses. Bad experiences can happen and insecurities grow. Below you will find some <strong>common mistakes and possible risks.<\/strong> Along with the most important questions, you should definitely consider these when buying a horse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing an untrained\/green horse<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Untrained or unbroken horses are usually cheaper than educated horses &#8211; for many horse buyers this can be an argument for buying. However, e<strong>specially as a beginner rider, the horse\u2019s level of should not be ignored<\/strong> when making a purchase decision. Even if the thought of training the horse yourself or with the help of a riding instructor may be tempting, horse training is not easy. Not only does it take several months, but it can also be <strong>dangerous<\/strong>, especially for novice riders, because young or uneducated horses are often still <strong>unreliable<\/strong> and their reactions <strong>unpredictable<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disregard older horses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older horses are often<strong> great teachers<\/strong>, especially for beginners. Not only are they easier to handle, but they also forgive the odd rider error. Therefore, you should not discard a horse simply because it is already 15 years old or older. As long as they are healthy and fit, <strong>many horses can be ridden into their late twenties.<\/strong> Light daily training helps horses to stay sound for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying young horses for children<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A young horse and a young &#8211; or inexperienced &#8211; rider can be a dangerous combination.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-trained horse gives children security and the opportunity to quietly learn how to ride. A young horse, on the other hand, can quickly become insecure or overreact because it does not yet know how to deal with rider errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a horse on impulse<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a horse is an important decision &#8211; even if you like the horse right away, you should not buy it &#8220;on impulse&#8221;. <strong>A test ride, a vet check and a few days to think things over are important<\/strong> when buying a horse. You can also compare other horses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask for a trial period<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riding lessons are essential for beginners. In order to be able to develop a partnership with your first horse and to assess whether you will make a good team in the future, it is best to arrange a trial period with the seller, especially for inexperienced riders. Many horse dealers even offer a<strong> 3-month return policy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy horses according to their appearance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many beautiful horses &#8211; and especially <strong>special breeds, coat colours, etc.<\/strong> draw the attention of many people. However, it can <strong>backfire<\/strong> if you only choose a horse for its looks. After all, you don&#8217;t ride the look, but the horse. Therefore, the <strong>focus should always be on the character<\/strong> (temperament) and the <strong>level of training.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underestimating the cost and time of owning a horse<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owning a horse requires a lot of <strong>responsibility<\/strong> and you should be prepared for this beforehand. This not only includes an overview of all the costs involved, but also the realisation that a horse takes up <strong>a lot of time.<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To ensure that the purchase of a horse is a positive experience, there are a&hellip;","protected":false},"author":119,"featured_media":6118,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[162,163],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-horse-knowledge","category-horse-purchase"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The top 10 questions to ask when buying a horse - ehorses Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"To ensure that the purchase of a horse is a positive experience, there are a few important things that you should consider.
