Idea's about horse stuff?
Please read the whole thing....
Ok so I have wanted a horse since I was four and now I might be able to get one. My grandma said if I can repair the old fence and put up a lean-to for it that I could keep the horse there. But I don't know how to build a lean-to or repair the old fence. So as far as housing situations for it would 1 full grown horse be able to use a big garden shed as a lean-to? Just throwing idea's out there. Also the fence goes around a big piece of land and it's like the wire kind with big logs for posts. So... any idea's on how to patch up the holes? Also where can I buy a rid-able, trained, full grown horse in Ohio? Also please no comments about oh she's not ready for a responsibility like this or anything because Im not even sure it's going to happen I am just throwing Idea's out there.
Also I think it is barb wire Im not sure, it's a big area but Im wanting to like do something difffernt because I don't like the barbwire either, that stuff hurts when it gets caught around your leg. Me and my cousin used to play up there a lot theres loads of tree's and a big hill and lots of different paths and such..

It all depends on the horse. I put my horse in a make shift pen consisting of bailing twine (so she can graze) because she doesn't rub along the fence. Some horses like to scratch their back and sides along the fence, others don't care.
If you've never had a horse or done a lot of riding, I'd reccomend getting a quarter horse/Azteca gelding, between 17-21 years old. Most times, they won't rub againt fences, and are great horses for beginners.

I hope it isn't barb wire. We had a nasty injury on my sister's horse after he ran through my neighbors cow pasture fence, which was barb wire. Well A large garden shed could work for a smaller horse. Why not try to save enough money to buy one of those pole barn car port things that have open sides and a tin roof. Then it would be big enough and all you would have to do would be put walls on three sides and (if you want) add a gate to the open end. The only way I can suggest fixing the fence is well... You will have to replace any old rotten posts. To repair the spots where the wire is missing is, you will have to remove the broken ends from that"section" and nail a new piece SECURELY on.If it is only the top strand (I suggest this anyway) invest in a good electric tape(FOR HORSES) to use as the top strand. I trust that if you do manage to get all this done that you will take the time to learn about horses and be responsible with your future horse. When buying a horse check local tack stores for for sale ads, the paper, online sale sites like craigslist, equine now, equinehits, horseville...there are loads of them.

If u dont no how to fix the fence then u r going to have to hire someone to fix it and the garded shed needs to be at least a 12 by 12 area for a horse and a 10 by 10 for a pony and please no barb wire.

I think you are away with the fairies! There is so much more than putting a "good" horse in a patched up field with a shed in it.
