Instructions
Determine your purpose for buying a horse. For example, do you want to jump or ride trails, ride for pleasure or for competition?
Choose the type of horse best suited for that purpose. For example, a racehorse may not adjust well to life on the trail.
Find a horse by visiting a horse breeder or local stable. Ask professional trainers for information on where to look for a horse. Examine ads in horse breeding and riding magazines.
Seek help from a professional trainer when selecting a horse.
Obtain a prepurchase exam from a veterinarian.
