Okay, I just moved from CA to TX and made lots of good friends and one really good best friend. The only problem is I want a horse. I asked my parents and they said that we would have to move again to a really pretty place they know where my dad's friend live to have enough room, where at my old house we were so close to getting one with 2 acres. This is where you come in. Do I leave all my friends again in a few years and get a horse or stay here and always feel a want?

Why don't you try and take lessons or lease a horse before committing yourself to buying one? I'm assuming you've never had a horse before, so first research how much time and work they are, not to mention the cost of upkeep. They are wonderful animals, but you need to be fully informed and prepared before you buy one or it could end up in disaster.

You have to make a decision here! Whatever you do, however, make sure that you TRULY want this horse. I hate it when people have this urge to get an animal, keep it for a few years, and then decide that they really didn't want it after all. So many good animals are subject to cruelty and neglect after they leave a good home; I know, I've rescued quite a few! When it comes right down to it, you have to decide whether the care of a horse is more important than your friends? Horses are a very demanding animal in terms of proper care. Are you really up to it, or do you just fancy the idea? Why don't you apply for some riding lessons at a stable where you are at now, and then decide.

it would depend on what your situation is in a few years.
I know its hard to give up a friend for something you really want, and vice versa.
Talk with your parents and make sure they aren't going to say, you decide or make it one or the other, talk and tell them the problem.
An alternative is learn to ride and maybe ride at a stable, they can sometimes have horses there tat you can love and look after, and this allows you to keep your friends and get to know the horse world. If in a few years you want your own horse, you can keep it at a stable. Or you may decide you don't want ahorse after all.
This way, you can stay in your current house, and if the horse doesnt turn out to be your chosen sport, you dont have to fork out all teh money to buy thehorse.
Hope this helps, riding is fun and really rewarding!

I'm 14 and been riding for 7 years, and just last year I got my first horse. Dont rush it. Through the years I've had so many friends lose interest in horses, so make sure you are comitted and know how to ride. Plus if you dont board this horse at a stable, how will you know if it is sick or not?

y dont you try to lease a horse somewere so you can stay and have a horse, then you can decide if a horse is really for you, and if its worth mooving so you can have one at your own place.

well unless you're hella mean to the horse, it will always be your friend. On the other hand people are stupid and very few can be trusted.
