Hi everyone! I'm a new rider here, ok- let's get to the point here. I'm getting ready for my first ever horse (In a couple years.) and I need some advice, I've been riding horses since I was maybe 5 years old? and I'm a barrel racer, I go to horse shows a lot but I'm getting to experience for my old lesson pony. So, I'm thinking about buying my own project barrel horse. Now, I understand how that taking lessons and owning a horse is very different, Vet bills, unexpected injury's, no vacation, feed bills, and all the time that it takes to own one. I understand this isn't going to be easy, but that's why I'm here, First question.
1. Should I buy a trailer? they aren't cheap and is it even worth it, we are probably going to be going to barrel races a lot, we may borrow one of our friends trailers I know they wouldn't mind.
2. Which stable would be the best?
3. Or this one?
One more question, we think "straw" grows out in our field but now realizing straw is dried stalks of grain. We are asking the people who cut it what it is, I don't think its hay? But we are figuring that out. Thank you please tell me any tips and tricks I need. I will be posting a lot of forums showing my journey.
