Buying a horse chat with Mike

Buying a horse is difficult and trying at times. We have had so many people contact us about horses they have purchased that have not been what they were expecting, and they are reaching out to us to help them figure out what they should do to help their situation. Any horse that is online or on an online auction should be available for you to go and try out the horse to see if you are a good fit. You should be planning to save back a bit of money in case you need to have another trainer work with the horse or work with you so that you and the horse are on the same page with cues and commands, they are not all the same. Once you have paid for the horse it is your responsibility and you really have no recourse. Video can be taken several times for the owner to have the horse do the maneuver perfectly. You never see the blooper reels on a video for a horse for sale. You can bet they selected the very best takes that they had when they made the video for the horse for sale. Be smart, buy from a reputable person that will take you out to ride the horse you are considering.
