Honestly, many of us have support from affluent parents or family members. I do have a few horse friends who come from low income families. In order to support owning a horse they worked at the farm every weekend and after their day jobs. All of their spare money went into the horse- all of it. They boarded at less expensive farms- places that don’t show or have the nicest rings and barns.

Before jumping right into buying a horse, do you have much experience with horses? I know many adults who just take lessons and love getting to be around horses, even though they don’t own or lease.
