A.Make sure you have a plan for your horse in an emergency.Consider having your horse microchipped and make sure your property has a Property Identification Code (PIC). This will help to identify your horse, you and your property in an emergency, should the need arise.

Yes! However, even for first-time horse owners, I recommend that you look at horses with an experienced friend first, then take your trainer to see only the horse(s) you are considering buying. This approach will save you money, save your trainer time and you will still be able to benefit from your trainer’s advice and guidance. Before you go out to look at horses, discuss with your trainer what kind of horse you want and ask your trainer what questions you should be asking the seller. When you return, show your trainer any videos or photos you took, and ask him what he thinks of the horse. If he likes the horse, make an appointment with the seller to look at the horse again and bring your trainer along. Be prepared to pay your trainer for his time – to avoid misunderstandings, ask him in advance how much he will charge to accompany you.
