The main reason parents won't buy a horse for their children is money. They are expensive, and there's no getting around that. To those kids in that situation, I suggest looking for as many riding opportunities as possible, like exercising private horses, working at barns outside your usual lesson barn, and networking to find other rides. You can immerse yourself in horses without owning one... and know that one day, sooner than you think, you will be old enough to make the decision to plan for and purchase without relying on someone else.
Yes, I know. If I looked right now I could easily find a giveaway. My apologies for not being clear in my point - I was referring to the entire lifecycle of owning the horse, from buying to eventually no longer owning.
Courtney Marshallick agree. On winter break i went to a barn and got a mare that only i ride. I go there on breaks bc it's far away and also bc of school... but i will train everyday in summer bc I'm going to my grandma's and the barn is 30mins away.
You can also exercise ride peoples horses :)
@Mekyah Booker yep
First off, this is one of my favorite videos regarding ‘how to convince your parents to buy you a horse’ ! Great video! I really love your channel!💗
I just wanted to write out a few extra tips from an equestrian who has been riding consistently for 9 years and is just now purchasing a horse!:
1. Make sure your ready for a horse of your own! I had leased 3 horses before deciding to buy-We actually are in the process of buying my 3rd lease horse-don’t jump into it! I would recommend riding consistently(around twice a week or more) a good 3 years before purchasing! You need to have a good foundation and a strong knowledge of horses before buying anything!
2. If your parents aren’t listening to what you have to say, WRITE IT OUT. Put a lot of effort and emotion into the letter and convey everything you feel about the situation. Don’t be sloppy!!
3. Talk to your trainer about it. I was extremely honest with my trainer about how I felt and the situation I was in and we worked on it together. She’s the main reason I’m purchasing after so many years. My parents had just learned to tune out my pleas for a horse of my own because it happened so often. Chances are that they’ll listen to a professional opinion in addition to your own rather that just yours.
4. Talk to your friends about asking their parents(in addition to themselves) to drop hints whenever your parents are around. My trainers, friends, and friends parents always helped by dropping hints like that!
5. Talk to your parents about working to help with the cost! It will really show them how much you want it! My trainer and I actually worked out a ‘working student’ position that allowed me and my parents to afford the costs of owning & showing a horse! Most of the time, trainers need help around the barn, so don’t be afraid to offer it! It might help you in the long-or short- run!!
I know that everyone’s situation is different but this is just what helped me convince my parents! Hope this helps some more people!!
When I first started riding I just road a random horse every week😍
Then I half-leased a horse
Then I full-leased a horse 😂
Now I’m busy bying my own horse🎉
I took lessons, then part boarded, then leased, and now I’m looking for a horse too! CONGRATS!!
buying is spelt buying not bying
How long did you ride before you leased a horse?
congrats ❤️❤️
What would you say to those teenagers who are wanting/saving up for a horse in the future and whilst their parents are supportive, don't want to have to pay for the horse at all? For example my mum is content with the idea of me getting a horse when I'm older, but says it's all on me to pay for and look after and she doesn't want the responsibility weighed down on her. (Which is respectable, of course).
my dad is similar, we have all the land and the barn and i have access to free fencing and anyways the price for board at my barn is very cheap we just don’t have time yet and my dad would be glad to buy me a horse(with me helping out) but he works at a school soo try buying a horse on teacher salary😂
You should stop asking your mum for a horse you just need to wait for the time to be right. You shouldn’t on constantly asking her, just wait until you have enough money and a job to be able to afford getting a horse. Like my mum will help me with boarding and vetting bills etc. My mum wasn’t really a big horse person but I did lots and lots of chores, you should show your parents that your committed and have the time to take care of a horse. Taking care of your own horse is a lot of work so just wait until you get older, when you have the money too.
Some beginner 11 year old rider came to my barn with a green broke three year old quarter horse. She had ridden twice before and could barely trot and her parents bought her a three year old. She’s kinda afraid of him too. She only comes to see him twice a week because she’s on full care board at our barn. We take care of her horse for her and she comes and sees him once a week for her lesson. We’ve told her that she needs to come see him and take care of him. Spend time and bond with him because he’s bonding with some of us more than he is with her and he’s her horse.
I’m 11 and a beginner and if I do that I would ride 4 days a week
Poor horse! It's so annoying when that happens, sounds similar to bratayley and luna tbh 🤦♀️
I have my own horse but it took 9 years of riding until me and my parents were financially ready to buy a horse. My parents bought the horse but I pay for farrier, vet bills and all of his equipment.😊 it’s hard but it’s worth it and I’ve learned how much responsibilities it takes to own a horse
When me and my sister we ready for a horse we made a 30 slide PowerPoint. Guess what we got a 🐴
literally please tips
I got really lucky cause my mom also rides and loves horses
I got lucky because my dad rides with me but I’m still trying to convince him
I've been riding for 5 and a half years and I would love to have a horse and the incredible bond that comes with it. Me and my mom actually ride together, she's the only riding friend I have, none of my friends are interested in horses at all. Im going to try and half lease the horse I ride to get a feel of what its like to have a horse and the responsibility. I don't even know if I will be able to half lease..... But I'm not going to give up and keep going until the day I finally gifted with the honor of having my own horse
I've been riding for 3years now. My mum also had a horse. I've always dreamt of having one. Their beautiful creatures. 😊
I do all of this you guys have suggested and my mom agrees I should get my own horse. My trainer thinks I'm ready and if I remember right she said "I think Ella is ready when you guys are ready" I'm Ella 😁. But aside from that it's how much the horse costs. So I'm making a list of everything I'll need and add up the amount of money and start my own bank account! I hope this will work. Everyone at my barn thinks I'm ready
Did it work? ❤️
I’m gonna use this to convince my parents
Horse 101 has it worked?
My mom said 100% she would get me a horse, but.. it’s expensive to own one. She wants to make sure that if something happened, we could pay for the vet. It’s about money for us 😊 this video was super nice and helpful!
One day! She said when I’m older she will help me buy one, when I know I can afford one myself.. I ride, so don’t worry! Not inexperienced 😝
I actually take care of my friends horse, I go everyday.. she is in college so he’s gets lots of love! I definitely don’t feel I’m ready for the commitment, speaking I am caring for him.. it’s a-little much! Haha
Yeah my mum said she would if we had the money but at the moment I'm trying to persuade her for a part loan 😁😁😁
After 6 years I finally got my own pony so keep going
Mia Curtis I've been riding for almost 9 years now and still don't have one to call my own 😢😢
Zoe The Pony keep going I’v been riding for 12 years now but I was to young before so just keep going ❤️
I am looking for a horse and you guys helped me out so much
thank you! glad we could help!
Me too thxs
YAAAS!! We are currently looking for a horse now!!!! LOVE U GUYS!!
congrats!
wow. Haha congrats 😂
Congrats
Yay!!!
So happy 4 u
I have wrote a book, wrote an essay, Made a power point etc. My mum says she understands and she respects that. I’ve done research on where I could keep it and how much it would be and how I would carry on it’s training. I’ve been riding all my life and I have always wanted a horse.
Aw I’m sorry!
I have been riding for almost five years now.I had a lease horse, it was really hard because the horse I had was very difficult. I had a horrible fall where I ended up in the ER. Now i'm looking for another lease horse but my parents don't want to lease a horse from another barn. The lady who owns my barn is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to about this and anything else. I asked my parents if I could change barns. They said no. It's hopeless. If anyone has any advice please help me.
I've tried all of these and I'm still not allowed my own 😭❤️
Willow Equestrian try leasing a horse it’s a lot better for some people because it’s not a huge commitment and you can save a lot of $$$
Willow Equestrian same
Willow Equestrian I wrote out some tips from my personal experience (similar to yours) and thought you might find it helpful!☺️ it should be the comment right above yours!
Samee and I can’t lease because of the uni team and lease is around the same price as board I can’t jump if I lease
You could try to part loan first. I had 3 part loans before my parents would believe I could get a horse on a full loan. It also means that you can maybe find a great yard to keep them at (my horse is at one of my loan pony’s yards because we loved it so much).
If your parents don’t work weekends then try it as a weekend loan. My ponies used to cost between £60-£100 per month but we paid it werkly
I made an essay and a power point about getting a hamster, and I wasn’t allowed one. So I don’t think I’ll get a horse 😂. But I want one so bad, to show with when my lessons become a little bit more advanced
Aw darn
When I was little, my parents had horses and my mom grew up riding, so when we moved we had to give them away(I was 5).. We finally moved back to a farm a free years ago, but out landlord won't let us have horses, otherwise we already would have a horse.. Hopefully we'll find a house with more acreage soon that we love so we can get one!!! Awesome video!!!!
I absolutely love ya'll
I don't know if this gives me an advantage or not but my mom used to own a horse and he passed the year before I was born I am able to sit down with her and talk about getting a horse for myself she wants me to get one but she told me when I'm older but I want to convince her that I can get one at a slightly younger age she got hers when she was around 15 and I'm just a tiny bit younger than that and also its kind of up to my grandparents too and I would also need to convince my dad this video helped me and I now am going to work on convincing I'm also helping out at my local stables on school holidays oh and I have been doing lessons for around 3 and a half years :)
The best possible idea is that you could part lease before you full lease. It can show parents that you can do it easily.
If the issue is money, don’t annoy your parents until your family is in a financially stable state. I honestly think that telling them straight out how much horses cost (do the maths yourself) so that they do understand it. If you are confident, you can always ask them if you could have a cheaper horse to bring on
I can imagine SO many 9 year olds watching this video and being like "Imma get a unicorn now! MOOOMMMYYY!!!"
when I was at my dressage show it was in an indoor arena and it was pretty dark. The moment I came in my dad started taking photos and he had his flash on and it totally spooked the horse I was riding got really spooked 😂 so I definitely think it is good to bring parents and stuff to the barn often so stuff like that doesn’t happen
My mum's horse was a white connie, her name was Sparky. Her show name was Royal Spark.
Some people don’t have trainers or a barn
I don’t have a trainer nor a barn we have a shelter for them though I am kinda on a homestead
Lol I got a horse for my bday but today m still watching this because I love you guys
i helped out at barn for a while and my mom said she would get my a horse because i took care of the horses at the barn i helped out at
That’s awesome!
I'm planning on going to marodith Manor equestrian collage
That’s awesome!
My dad said he’ll definitely get me a horse or lease cuz he said he would luv to learn to ride, it’s my mum saying “no” she’s absolutely terrified of horses but I have a feeling my dad will get me one😊
The thing stopping me from buying a horse is the boarding price. It’s $700-$800 per month. Full Care. Any tips on how to get that cost down?
Carly Equestrian see if your barn offers pasture board it’s cheaper. Also see if you can supply your own supplies like feed so you don’t have to pay for that stuff
Hi Carly, I am Christine a Certified Equine Appraisr. I go around the country determining the value of horses for many reasons, usually for insurance purposes.
Not knowing what type of facilities you r considering it's hard to say but generally if u work w the stable manager AHEAD OF TIME to work off some of the board by : cleaning stalls, watering, helping unload & stack hay, cleaning leathers. S super way to make money would (ok this w management) be to learn how to braid manes & tails. There is buckets of money in this wonderful art.
If it is a show barn, again first chk w management, take on clients to show prep their horses ($$). If the barn is a show stable and competing horses r owned by the stable, get on their list to do same. Not knowing anything about u except that u desperately want a horse, offer to exercise private or stable owned horses (ok w management). For owners who r unable to be w their horses offer to care for them when the owner can't come out.
I hope I gave u some good ideas. Please keep me informed of your progress. bachout@gmail.com
Good luck & stick w it! It is so w/in your reach!!! 😎❤️🐎
Katarina Ostrov I don’t think Pasture board would work as there is coyotes around the barn - mainly at night. so I’d be worried about that. But, buying my own feed might work! :)
christine bachor Thanks so much!
My parents said, I can get one, but I have to pay for it. And they won't give me a single dollar. Plus, the closest barn is 7 miles away, and neither parents can drive me. So, it's looking crazy impossible. Any help on keeping a horse when I can't keep him on property with me, or at a barn, is there any other way?
Love this video and you guys, it’s super helpful!
Yay!! New vid😍😱❤️
You guys are super pretty and I wish I was one of you when I get older
Can you do a SHOW MORNING ROUTINE video 😍😍😍
Love you both!and your videos!❤️
I went on a trail ride once with my mum and she though it was so uncomfortable. She's also allergic
I was really looking st this horse to lease then when the horse got leased out ofc I was upset and my mom says she doesn’t have enough money rn ( my sister had surgery) I want a job but I’m 13 my barn won’t let me work there (bc I’m 13) andi cant think of anything else to make money what’s usually the amount you spend a month?
Ok this video is old but still
I really want a horse I had an ex racehorse balley and a palomino jethro
Sadly they passed when I was like 10
My mum will not get me a horse she's been there done that you know she knows what she's getting into
Which is kinda annoying ik she really would want a horse again she knows famous trainers and jockeys from when she was a jockey people like frankie detorri she rode the gallops with him and trainers like Ed Dunlop so it would be nooo problem getting a horse since they give them to her for free or I could got to tattersalls the horse isn't the problem it's everything else like Farrier sits and vet bills I have livery sorted kinda at my friends we would have them kept outside but we just don't have the money for everything else what should I do
I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I hope everything got sorted out!
Lol asked my parents if I can buy a horse they looked at me like I fell off a rock and said go buy one that you don't live here.....gotta love being an adult lol
If your parents say you can get a horse but you have to pay for it what are a couple of way to earn some money for a horse for people under 16
Working! Working at the barn specifically to get more experience
My mum would love to get me a horse but we can’t afford it
I know I’m a little late on this video but my mom said that she will let me have a horse but it’s my father that won’t let me he used to have horses and he did roping but once I was born he quit and got rid of his horses and we moved to a smaller farm with just cows and small pets I have wanted a horse since I was 4 I have asked every holiday and chance I could get my father does not like to idea of taking care of the horse so I need to find some way to show him I am responsible enough and that I can do it i take horse riding lessons and I know how to take care of a horse I just need him to give me a chance but I’m always scared to ask him because I’m afraid of my feelings getting hurt and getting my hopes up so any tips or anything?
I’d wait it out a bit and try showing him how you’re responsible by taking care of the other animals. I’d also ask about an off-farm lease !
Can you do this for kids. Because I can't get a job. But I don't know what to do.
Applestory & Emma Cranestar There isn’t really much you can do, sorry :(
I’m waiting for my moms friend to get her horse then I’m going to go to her house threw out the week to get tips and clean up her barn and see that by the end of a couple weeks I’m like “ I can do this”
I wish I had a horse and I can ride but I have allergies 😭
how to parnent to say yes to a black horse
i love horeses
Hey guys I love your videos a lot but I was wondering if you could help me. My barn is pretty far from my house and there is none closer. I only go for a lesson once a week. I have been riding for a long time now and I know how to care for horses, it’s just we don’t have time to drive up and down. So I can’t show my commitment to my parents.
I would have a conversation with your parents about it!
Love it!!
Hermione Granger you were first congrats 🎉💖🥇👌
Do guys recommend any jobs I can get at 13 in Canada
Pure Equestrian Newspaper Route? Baby sitting? Dog/Cat sitting?
You could also House sit. This one isn’t a job but you could have a garage sale, or sell things on eBay/kijiji.
My mom said I can’t do show jumping because she thinks it’s dangerous and thinks I should do Western but it is just as bad any tips ?
Western can be just as dangerous and you could get hurt doing anything!
Thanks for this!!
Hiii
I made i PowerPoint and my family is still making fun of me😂😂😂It was last year.
My parents are worried about the horse getting injured. Any tips on how to get them to stop thinking about the possibility of an injury??
Ella Sandstorm, you can get freak injuries wrote in the lease agreement if your leasing.
Your horse can get insurance
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
LOve u guys!
I love u guys
A lot of parents won’t buy there children a horse is because they can’t afford it if they had money they would get you a horse I now it is very upsetting not having you own horse trust me I have been that girl when all your friend have there own horse and can do things you can’t do like going to shows, going horse riding when ever they want and having a bond with a horse but when I got older I stopped caring on what my friends have and I set a goal for my self I can’t get a horse now but I can I will get a horse in the future when I get a good paying job I am 18 I have been riding since I was 5 and I still don’t have my own horse . Some people will never be lucky to get there own horse in there lifetime.
Hey! If you're there I was wondering if i could as you something...
Wherever you train, are any of your like school friends there (besides eachother)? Because I want to start Horse Riding, but i'm scared i'll be alone. ;-; xDD
brooklyn. don’t be afraid to be alone i mean riding is a sport with two team members, you and your horse. so go for it and like me you will probably make friends at a barn if you start riding.
+Tala Clookey Yeah true, thanks x
brooklyn. If you truly love horses, focus on the riding and keep your friendships aside. At the barn the first thing to focus on is safety and your riding. Friends are for once you have those two concepts figure out and pursued.
Yeah, so true. I guess I just gotta get over the fact that i'll have no friends there. But i'm ok with that.
brooklyn. ;)
Reality check: There are only very few fortunate people who are able to increase the value of a horse! For the rest of us normal people it is just a very creative and satisfying way to burn loads of money... ;-)
😘😘😘
Early
What if ur parents NEVER listen to u
Adelaide MeadowDawn if that happened to me, I would make it really obvious that I’m committed to horses. Then maybe say something about leasing or owning a horse. Just slowly go into it in my opinion
@@rileycarlson3173 Thx for the advice
