You should start off with the breed that you would like, is there a certain size or color you are drawn too? There is plenty of research online and through books that can help you make that choice. You can also consult with other horse owners and take into account their preferences and opinions. You also need to take into account the amount of time that you have to take care of and groom a horse. Some horses require more time to be committed to them. Will you be able to take care of the horse or will you require help with that?
It's really tough to go to an auction to buy a horse. The really difficult thing is to go home without all the animals you see there! Additionally, you won't get any opportunity to thoroughly evaluate them before purchase, so it's quite a gamble. miniature donkey for sale
One option to consider is leasing a horse before buying it. Many owners are not prepared to sell their equine companions just yet, but need help with the expenses. Once you've leased the horse for a while and you're positive it's the horse for you, the owner feels more comfortable with letting you have him. Some owners may even offer to give you the horse, or accept a very low price because they know the horse is going to a good home.
What types of stabling options are available to you? Is there plentiful grazing available and how much will that cost? If the best stables are a long drive away from your home, it may not be in your best interest to buy a horse. If you have your own land, do you have the proper shelter and tools needed to care for a horse?
Last but not least is your riding experience. New riders may need to choose a horse differently from an experienced rider.
