Maybe an unpopular opinion about buying horses… 👀
I think we’ve got a bit too caught up in how much a horse costs, what it looks like, its breeding and what it’s achieved on paper.
People will spend £10k, £15k, £20k+ on a horse because it’s pretty, has a fancy competition record or comes from the “right” bloodlines — but does that actually make it the right horse for them?
And let’s be honest, sometimes the horse that costs £3,000 and quietly does everything you need is worth far more than the £15,000 one that looks impressive on Instagram.
You don’t need the most expensive horse in the yard.
You don’t need the fanciest breeding.
You don’t need someone else’s dream horse.
You need the right horse for you.
Because there’s nothing impressive about spending a fortune on a horse that makes you miserable every time you ride it. 🐴
