so like, we know our budget. We know what area roughly we want to live in. What will we need to sort out (already got a hay supplier, but do we need a saddle already? register with grand national? etc.) How much cash are we likely to need to deal with shit before/during mounting? It’s all very odd and scary and I’m out of my depth

Comedy answers also welcome

You’re not going to impress us by “buying” a horse.

The horse riders among us all went out on to the plains to find and tame our horses. Ruffers tale is particularly moving and inspiring.

Here’s some starters for you.

buying a horse in London is a lot more complicated than elsewhere. There are quite a few horse owners or people going through the process of buying a horse in London on here though so they should be able to help. You might even end up being neeeeighbours.
