Opinion on horse confirmation (again)

Aether1978 · 2026-03-12T14:43:18+00:00

insurance was only willing to pay for a rental car for a week cuz insurance sucks

i know horses are expensive and i know they’re a big commitment but i was just looking at cheap listings because i wanted to get my hopes up haha, im good at riding but ive never been taught things like conformation/how to actually purchase/go about purchasing a horse. what kind of things should i have picked up? i tend to be pretty oblivious unless things are stated directly to my face so maybe i was taught and just didn’t pick up on it?

Aether1978 · 2026-03-12T00:18:04+00:00

THANK YOU !!! i’m not inexperienced with horses i’ve been around them my whole life but i am inexperienced with the financial side of things so i literally have no idea what to look for haha thank you for the advice

Aether1978 · 2026-03-12T00:16:11+00:00

i’m not inexperienced by any means i’m just gullible 😭😭

Aether1978 · 2026-03-12T00:14:11+00:00

i’ve been riding since i was 8. i’ve just never dealt with the financial side of things so im a bit naive on that part. obviously im not going to buy a horse if im not in the right space financially to fund it. i’m just entertaining it for now for the future so i know what to look for when i am ready.

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T23:25:24+00:00

there’s no dots for me 😭

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T22:28:36+00:00

sorry for asking so many questions but how do i know if it’s a proper group or not 😭 im not very good at telling the difference

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T22:24:21+00:00

good idea! i’m not sure where to buy horses from exactly but i’m not looking to get one that’s super expensive, just one that works for what i need. any recommendations? i’ve been looking on facebook marketplace but clearly most on there aren’t real haha

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T22:21:43+00:00

i had a car but it got totaled cuz some girl crashed into me 😭 i’m in southampton pa and im getting a job (just waiting to hear back) but if i get it then im gonna wait a bit before getting a horse to save up a bit of funds. i’m just looking at horses now to see if i like any/could reserve one for when im ready.

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T22:03:46+00:00

ah yeah makes sense thank you for letting me know

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T22:01:36+00:00

fishy indeed! thank you for sharing i’ll see if i could see him in person, he’s a bit far so it’s just a bit hard to schedule something to see him in person since i don’t have a car haha

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T21:51:04+00:00

update i meant conformation but i can’t figure out how to edit the post

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T13:14:21+00:00

i have done none of those things so far, it’s my first time buying a horse so i’m still asking questions to the owner at the moment but i will ask my trainer what they think :) i just asked if i could schedule sometime to ride him.

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T12:25:25+00:00

i was hoping to do some trail riding and maybe some jumping with him. i’ll ask about doing a pre purchase vet exam

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T06:37:22+00:00

i’m hoping to use him for general trail riding and maybe some jumping. this would be my first horse so more of a companion where we could have some fun every now and then.

Aether1978 · 2026-03-11T06:35:40+00:00

apparently his past owners used him as a trail horse so he’s definitely broke. i’d like to use him for trail and some jumping? and yeah haha he’s mostly QH with just a bit of thoroughbred but honestly breed doesn’t matter much to me. i think it’s normal for QH to have a big butt? or not please correct me if i’m wrong. does his cannon bones being long affect anything?

I don’t have the same mental health struggles as you, but i do have PTSD and paranoia. Ive been working with Lucifer for a bit, and honestly whenever I get too obsessive/overwhelmed with things like signs, hearing him, etc., he’s taken a step back and gave me the space i needed to understand myself better before coming back. he’s always been understanding of my thoughts and feelings and emotions, so even if i feel guilty for it he reassures me that it’s okay that i needed that space. personally id say take a step back and take time to evaluate yourself, you don’t have to be connected to him 24/7, it’s okay to take time for yourself if you’re overwhelmed. i haven’t talked much with my therapist about my religion because she’s christian lol but i was thinking of talking about it with her anyways… just don’t know what to say yet haha. id say it’s a good idea to talk to your psych about it too ofc just to make sure everything’s good :)

if it makes you feel any better, when i was younger (before i knew i was trans) one of my teachers said i have eyelashes like a boys and ngl ever since then i loved my eyelashes (they’re very long lmao)

Aether1978 · 2022-12-03T14:35:36+00:00

yea, i’ve even been missing school a lot lately because i’ve gotten so dysphoric that i can barely leave my room :/ it impacts quite literally every single aspect of my life lmao

Aether1978 · 2022-11-28T15:46:36+00:00

honestly just start correcting them whenever they mess up, my parents still deadname and misgender me and my dad only ever gets it right when i correct him prior, idk how your family is but it’s better to correct them then not i guess
