It seems that no matter what you do when you have a horse farm; it always ends up costing you more money! And buying tack to ride your horse with is just one of those expenses. The sort of tack you use and the quality you want will depend entirely on what disciplines you wish to use your horse for and the amount of money at your disposal.
There is also the issue of whether to buy new or second hand. Quite often you can pick up a real bargain if you know where to look and good quality used gear may be better than buying new cheaper gear, so long as it’s in good condition.
Make Sure It Fits Your Horse Correctly
If you’re the proud new owner of an equestrian estate, horse ranch or horse farm, you’re about to start the fun part; taking care of it. Besides taking care of the horse real estate you also have to rake care of the horses.
Unfortunately, horses are not cheap to maintain, but owning a horse can be done on a budget. By far and away the easiest way to own a horse is if you have your own horse property, for every horse you have you should allow 1 acre of land. Of course this can vary depending on the type of land and the size and breed of your horses. After all, a 12hh pony won’t need as much land as a 16hh Clydesdale. Horses can also be relatively easy to look after. As long as they have food, water, shelter and companionship, they are pretty happy.

So What Is Dressage?
Dressage is simply educating your horse and refining its movements.

Horses, like us are prone to health issues, most of them preventable. In case of a problem, the horse must receive the proper intervention from a fully qualified vet specializing in horses. It doesn’t matter whether you are on owner of a horse farm or only one animal. Often a horse is lost due to […]

Horse farming is popular among Americans. A study commissioned by the American Horse Council Foundation showed there were 9.2 million horses in 2017. If you want to bring your dream of owning a horse farm to life, here are some tips to get you started. Start with a Concrete Vision Horse farming is one of the toughest forms of agricultural investment. Horses are sensitive animals and they require a lot of care to make a worthy investment.

Are you interested in breeding, rearing studs for horseracing, start a riding facility, or what’s your vision? Once you have a solid vision, it is easier to get started on the planning stage.
Horse farm and ranch owners displease a few things as much as mud.
As inconvenient as mud is for us, it is for horses too. The difference between you and your horse is that you can do something about this muddy problem. The worst part about mud is that it is present regardless of the season. But that shouldn’t be a step back.
While we certainly can’t control the weather and the chemistry behind soil and water, other viable solutions will help you deal with muddy high-traffic areas. Therefore, stick with us and find out what are the best six tools that will help you solve your proble
One of the biggest mistakes that we make in real estate is failing to negotiate properly. At times, the buyer is too rigid or stubborn or the seller is too friendly or persuaded by the buyer easily.
It’s best to develop and improve your negotiation skills before trying to sell your horse property to avoid losing your precious time and hard-earned money in the long run.
The majority of horse properties are not sold for the asking price because interested buyers will always offer a price that he or she wants to seek leverage. You’ll also have to seek leverage to get the price that you want.
If you are in a hurry to sell your property, the buyer can use it against you easily. Therefore, it’s always important not to appear desperate in front of your buyers. Buyers can smell desperation a mile away and use it against you.
This means that you need to plan and prepare adequately before you start contacting buyers. In general, the person who is most prepared wins. The selling process is not as complex as you think. You only need to learn how to play the hardball while being reasonable, transparent and fair.
Winter comes with challenges when talking about the horse’s hooves. Of course, the optimum hoof care depends on a lot of factors, from geographic location to the type of surface arena or the condition of his hooves. Each horse is unique and so is his situation.

Here are some warnings that will help you improve the winter care for your horse and his hooves.
