What did I forget .... ? New Horse, Rugs Advice?

Thank you all for voting my answer as "best answer" For the young lady who was getting a new horse and wanted advice om rugs. I forgot to say that do make sure your rugs fit properly and also - don't be afraid to go to horse tack sales. I know that rugs can be a bit iffy if bought 2nd hand due to lice, ringworm etc. Weigh up the pros and cons of a 2nd hand one - like - if it costs £15 - would the cost of having it professionally cleaned be of value to you?

Grooming and good substances are comparable to something, you do not would desire to have the appropriate or maximum costly products yet do not attempt to flow decrease priced the two. you basically can't save money on feed. that's what that's. you are able to't purchase decrease priced hay, or decrease priced feed. there are the thank you to save money in vet care by way of discovering the thank you to manage wormers and vaccines your self you will not would desire to pay the vets farm call fee and expenses for administering which could better than quadruple the expenses. I save my horses barefoot which skill I basically would desire to pay $25.00 for trims each and every 8-12 weeks or so.
