I wish you all the best with your new horse.I think all the answers below cover it, but YOU will need alarm clock,waterproof coat x 2, wellies for that dreaded mud, gloves, hats for the cold evenings and of course days over Christmas, and the patience of a saint when your horse to take twice as long over everything that you think should be done quicker. Time will no longer be your own as your horse will take most of it up. Owning a horse for the first time is very daunting and quickly realise that all the knowledge that you have is really only the tip of the iceberg, as I found out with mine! Again good luck!

just dont forget a horse first aid box!! :D

Hey there! I guess you were successful in pursuading your parents? well done. You'll need to obvious things like a saddle and a bridle plus accessories like a saddle pad or numnah. you'll also need buckets for feed and water. a full grooming kit would be good aswell. you'll need rugs for turnout and a stable rug aswell as boots for excercise etc. buying all of this equipment in one go is very expensive... may i suggest that you find out as much as possible about equipment and horse care before you go ahead and get your horse... if you have any more horsey questions, give me a shout!
