I need a list of all supplies for a horse?

Question

I am getting one soon

Answer 1

If you're boarding and don't need to feed or clean stalls (or they have the mucking gear):
Halter and lead rope
Bridle, bit, saddle with fittings, saddle pad, girth
Hoofpick, curry comb, stiff brush, soft brush
rub rags
treats

If it's your own place you'll also need:
Wheelbarrow
pitchfork
shavings or straw
hay (lots of it)
grain
companion animal (horses do not do well alone, goats are good companions)

Also have a good vet, farrier and dentist.

These things are bare minimum. If you live in a cold area and have a thin skinned horse you'll need blankets and sheets.

Answer 2

There are so many different things you can get for a horse and just starting out is going to be expensive to say the least. First you need the barn stable ready which means getting sawdust or straw for this area, second you need the feed, you can get premixed, mix your own blend whichever you will need about 100 pounds a week for one horse. You will need a water trough, feed bucket, hay bag, a rubber feed pan ( horses that eat off the ground are fine unless it is a real sandy area and then there is a chance of sand colic ). You will also need a supply of hay for the horse as well as wayer hoses to run the water. Keep a salt and mineral block available for the horse at all times. You will need either a feed barrel or some container to keep the feed in to keep it from getting wet. For the winter you will need a turn out coat if you live in a cold area. You will need wormer for the horse, make up a kit of Betadine, wrap and antibiotic ointment for scratches and cuts and keep available at all times, fly spray is a must especially in the summer. you will need a curry comb, hoof pick, body brush, stiff bristal brush, a brush and comb for the main and tail as well as clippers for trimming the bridle path, shampoo and we also use a conditioner for our horses hooves. Then you get to get the saddle, bridle, pad or blanket, lead rope, halter, lunge line, treats and all the extras. When you first start out you could easily spend $1000 on what you need but it is worth it. Also as one reader said budget your time to make sure you have enough time to feed, water, groom and excersice the horse daily.

Answer 3

A ton of hay, a ton of straw, a 50lb bag of oats, Purina's horse chow and horse treats. An oat bin your horse can't get into, a manger, water trough, a bucket and a pitch fork. Hoof care kit. Halter, halter rope, blanket, saddle blanket, saddle, bridle. Numbers for the veterinarian, the farrier, and someone who can take care of your horse when you aren't there. Grooming kit. Oh, and you need to budget at least three hours of every day (no day off) to feed, exercise and clean up after your horse.

There's probably more. The cheapest part of having a horse is actually buying one. Costs go up from there.
