No matter the reason for wanting to purchase a horse, I offer some helpful advice. First of all, be sure and make a list of parameters for any potential horses. This may be age or the level of education that a horse has. Size, shape, and build are all important details as well. Get specific. The more you are aware of what you do want, the easier it will be to seek out the horse that is right for you

Winter seems to be in full swing.  A layer of ice has coated many of the flat surfaces and the snow remains a generous ground cover.  Just yesterday I led a horse up to our barn for a maintenance trim.  We had to delicately make our way along the treacherous area that lies just in front of the doors.  I gingerly walked across the solid ice and kindly asked my horse to follow.  He made his way safely behind me.  I could see in him a questioning look as to why we were traversing where no horses had ventured all week.
