don’t get a horse if you can’t afford basic necessities.
I got a free horse a few months ago and already I’ve ended up spending thousands on a saddle, bridle, multiple different rugs, lunging equipment, feed, hay, washing gear, grooming gear, farrier visits, medical gear for when she went lame in the wet weather with an abscess, and miscellaneous stuff like fly spray, sun screen (because her blaze started getting pink and raw), hot spray (because she chewed fences out of stress when she arrived), and new riding gear for myself after my old stuff fell apart. Horse expenses are something else man lol
