You have to have food,water,a saddle,and reins to have a horse.You also need a barn to put them in and alot of money to buy all of the stuff!!!

When you get your horse,the first thing you do is train them.You will need this stuff to train it:a hurdle,reins, a grown-up to help you,and that's what you need.I'm teaching you how to use this stuff with your horse.It's what I like to call fence jumping.Get a grown-up to help.

First,get on your horse.Then,get the reins and slap your horse with the reins.If he doesn't move,get your parent,friend,or grand-parent to get him moving. When your close to the fence,get someone to make him jump over the fence.If you fail,you will have to try again. For short instructions,Get your horse.2.Get grownup.3.Get on horse.4.Get stuff.5.Get on horse.6.Slap horse with riens.If horse doesn't go,get grown-up or little horse owner to help him/her go.7.Get grown-up to help you jump.If you fail,try again. If you follow these instructions,you will be able to take your horse and ride him around and take him to the horse show and make him/her famous.

Now,for how you build his home before you get him. You will need:wood. 1.first,make a square with wood. 2.Make the roof,which is a triangle.(or you can make it a different shape).3.Don't forget the gates! That's what I know about horses.

thanks Cassey

I think Cassey has some good advice. I don't think you slap horses with reins, I have ridden English and Western and we never did that. Maybe you use a crop sometimes, but we never hit the horse to be mean or harsh. We use legs and communication to make them go. Also, jumping can be very dangerous, a girl I know broke her back and she was riding for years.

I am sure you love horses too, but some people have learned the old way which isn't as gentle. I love the natural horsemanship method, there's more on this site about it too.

good luck with your riding!

I don't think so!
by: Windcall

I may not know as much as I wish I did about horses, but a few of the things you mentioned on your "to do" list, I DEFINITELY know NOT to do! I entirely agree with Cassey (previous commentor), and I hope that you do not treat your horse, if you have one of your own, in this manner. Please, do not treat any horse this way!

Umm.... whaaat? You need more than saddle and reins you need a whole BRIDLE and a saddle PAD, you also need back risers or gel pads if your horse has back problems or bone injuries.

When you get a horse you do not train him straight away! I mean what is that about? If you are so in-experienced with horses you don't get a green (un-trained) horse and even if you do you do NOT un-load them from the float and straight away train them!

You let them settle into their stable or paddock and let them get to know any other horses you may have over the fence.

As for "slapping" the horse with the reins that is a big NO NO! You do not slap the reins on a horse to make it move! You squeeze the horses sides with your legs and keep applying slight pressure to make them move. If the horse still doesn't move then you apply more pressure until they do.

Now, if you have a green horse you do not teach them to jump straight away! In fact you do not teach any horse to jump in this manner. You slowly introduce the horse to ground poles and you do this with the horse on a lead or lunge line not you on it's back. And you NEVER ride a horse that doesn't know how to jump directly at a jump and tell it to "jump it now or else" and if you fail the first time with a ground pole you have someone then go to the horses head and lead the horse over it you do NOT have someone force it over the jump.

If you someone followed you directions and went to a show the horse would refuse the jumps or jump by sheer luck and I highly doubt that you would get a place AT ALL. You do not get famous by using this method.

My advice, go to a riding school and LEARN something about horses.

P.S. It is called jumping, show jumping or eventing not "fence jumping".
