like to adopt one!!! :-)? i am 17 (almost 18), and i am really wanting to adopt a horse!!! i have loved horses ever since i can remember (and tho i have never ridden one, i am going to start taking lessons soon). i am going to be taking on an extra job to help get money to take care of the horse. can anyone give me any information on caring for a horse?? or any good websites!! please help as i would like to know as much as i can so i can give a horse the best possible life!!(i don't live on a farm, but there is a stable within 10 minutes of my house, and i have already looked into the pricing). on average, per month, how much does it cost to care for a horse? the boarding would be 465/m, other than that, how much does it cost?thank you in advance to any one who can help!!:-)

ok im ridin outa hear be back to help you on this, in Jesus amazing grace, David-- for now if you open up a yahoo 360 we have a number of horse clubs you can join in there- look me up -I am David Israel, or e mail meok I learned about your pets for a back ground-you will make a good horse owner-yet with all the pets it will require alot of work, and if you have it boarded -you still have to do grooming depending on how much they do at the stable-costs vary---from place to place- $200 -600 a month depending on location and if its more than just stabeling the horse. its got to be shod and other stuff too. It is a biggie I would suggest you act the princess get your prince and get married and then get the horse together-half the work and someone reliable to join this adventure. You can visit the boarding place and make friends with people there-and be paid or offer to help-with the horses just to get a feel for it. happy ridding princess, David and love your animals-but withold love even kisses from any guy till you know he is the prince for your life!

Seeing that you like horses a lot, I can see where you are coming from in wanting to 'adopt' a horse. Well, its a bit harder than that. First of all, you need to find a friendly horse that you have a connection with, and then you need to actually buy it. The price of a good horse ranges from $5000 to... high. Very high it seems now-a-days. ^-^ The boarding fee of that price sounds good enough. But, before buying a horse, I highly recommend that you visit the farm close to you and see if they offer lessons with school horses. You should learn first, see how you like it, and what type of riding you would want to get into. That way, you know what type of horse you would like to buy. Anyway, good luck with your new horse!!

my best advice: Don't adopt one.find somebody that will let you ride their horse and agree to split the cost of feed and whatnot,learn how to care for it before you even think about buying or adopting
