Well...it depends. If you are boarding, then the stable will have a lot of stuff like buckets, shovels, forks, crossties, etc. If you are keeping your horse at home you'll need a small fortune to start!

Anyway, trust me...horse people collect things over the years. So don't go hogwild just yet. Basics...you will of course need a saddle (and fittings if english), saddle pad or blanket, girth/cinch. You'll need a bridle, bit and reins to start but I suggest always keeping a spare bridle. Depending on the type of riding you do, you might need some type of protective boots for the horse...sports medicine boots, polo wraps, whatever. Maybe some bell boots. Do you intend on blanketing your horse? Then you need to consider blanket, sheets (even if you don't blanket your horse I still suggest investing in a cooler and a mesh sheet to use for after bathing) which brings us to grooming items...curry, softbrush, stiffer bodybrush, comb, hairbrush, hoofpick, hoof brush, sponges, rubber bands, sweat scraper, shampoo, conditioner, flyspray. Clippers, too. I suggest two halters. Lead ropes. I assume you have your helmet and riding boots and gear already. Shipping boots. First aid kit. That is pretty much the basics...but like I said, horse people collect things over the years. They are always inventing something new...new brushes, new shampoos, new bits, etc. No wonder us horse people spend so much on our horses! Don't forget the horsey treats, either. And try to find a tack auction, you can get a lot of the basics...trailer ties, buckets, saddle racks, etc for very cheap at auctions.

I get a lot of my supplies from countrysupply.com and jeffersequine.com. Both are reasonable sites.

The cost for your supplies will vary with your intended discipline and the quality of products you decide on.

Some things you will NEED:

Halter, Lead Rope, Feed Bucket, Water Bucket, Brushes, Hoof Pick, Saddle, Saddle Pad, Bridle w Bit and Reins, and a First Aid Kit for emergencies that includes: Gauze, Tape, Antibiotic Ointment, Polowraps and/or Vet wrap, Linement, Thermometer, Stethoscope, Vet manual

To Maintain the horse, expect minimally: farrier visits every-other month, vet visit annually - include vaccinations and teethfloating with annual check-up and save a little $, more vet visits if the horse is older or has health problems, you will need a seperate savings account in case of vet emergencies, wormer every 6 weeks, hay, grain, supplements as needed.....

Somethings you SHOULD have:

training books, videos, good trainer, extra lead lines, longe lines, extra saddle pad, splint boots, turn-out blanket, cooling sheet, shipping blanket and boots, heavy winter blanket extra reins (they DO break), extra halter, riding crop, lunge whip, lon lines, surcingle, extra buckets, cavaletti/barrels, muck bucket, wheelbarrow, misc shovels, manure fork, round pen, horse trailer, hay trailer, nice truck, tractor, 100 acre farm.......oh wait, thats MY dream!

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv/ and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

Learn Train Your Horse Easy!

Oh! Congratulations. I remember getting my first horse. One of the best days of my life.

I'm not sure where you live, but I'm in Arizona, so there is a lot of heat, and flies. :] I'll just give you the important things.

Here's a good list of what you absolutely must have:

for grooming your new horse:

curry comb

dandy brush

fly spray

hoof pick

wide bristle hairbrush [for mane/tail]

first aid stuff:

any antiseptic ointment or spray [horses are always cutting or scratching themselves]

Swat Ointment

red-kote is also good for the antiseptic

hoof ointment

bleach [only for your horses hooves if he happens to get thrush!]

necessary tack stuff:

halter

lead rope

fly mask [depends on your climate]

saddle & pads

- this is a hard thing to require, as every horse requires different saddling equipment, breast collars and such.

bridle

saddle soap.

exercising equipment:

lunge line [not necessary if you have a round pen]

lunge whip or small whip/crop

exercise boots; professionals choice smb are great.

equipment for you:

helmet [may not look cool, but its so worth it]

shoes with a heel, if not boots.

spurs if needed

riding gloves [always nice!]

sunblock!

travel wise:

leg wraps [to protect during travel]

hay cubes [keep him occupied]

vet wrap [protect tail from rubbing]

There is a lot of stuff that people will tell you that you really need to have with your horse, but as far as I know, these are the most important things for the horse right when you get him: excepting feed and constant access to water.

I remember as well, that after you get him, even if you think you have everything, you'll have to run out and get something the next couple of days.

I hope you enjoy the heck out of your horse! :)
