Having a new horse can be very expensive, I don't think people who haven't had horses before or know very little about them appreciate just how much the experience can cost. The average horse costs around three to four thousand pounds and this isn't including horses for eventing. On top of this cost you have to purchase their clothing and tack which can easily cost another two thousand so a you can imagine it's not a cheap purchase. I've written the following article to help inform you of ways to purchase good quality products without spending lots of money. I hope you find the following article informative and useful.
Firstly it's worth considering what you need, you can rush into many different purchases which you just do not need. For example if you have a native breed which has a big thick coat you don't need to purchase many rugs as they are hardier animals so really make it count when you purchase new turnout.
Secondly I would recommend going online on local forum sites or becoming a member of groups on social media sites. I've recently done this having had horses for years and I couldn't believe how useful they are. People request different items of tack and save a fortune. You can easily swop items too which is great if you have had ponies before but need different items of tack.
If you need to purchase lots of new things but are struggling to find the money consider what you can buy which will last a long time but is cheap too. Plastic stirrup 's are good as they are extremely cheap but only cost around ten pounds rather than a lot more. Plastic stirrup irons can be bought at any saddlery.
You don't need to get things new, auction sites and the local paper can be a great way to pick up new items at lower prices. I would recommend getting bits, buckets and anything like that new as you know they're sterile but other than that other items don't matter.
I hope you're found the above article helpful, don't forget that it's great to be part of a group or community as you can not only help others but people will be there to help you too so take full advantage of social media sites, forums and the internet.
Go on who and purchase your items today!
John Cooper would advise you to purchase from plastic stirrup or plastic stirrup irons
