What things do you need for a horse?
I’m hoping to get a horse soon. I need to figure out all the things I’ll need for it so its comfortable.
I have a list already but I’m not sure if I’ve covered everything. I already have a wheel barrow and pitch fork along with many shovels.
Here’s my list:
Grooming supplies- Brushes, shampoo, conditioner and fly spray
Fly mask (Is this a need?)
Buckets
Halter
Lead rope
Hay (What kind is best for horses?)
Feed
Blanket
Tack- saddle, bridle, reins,saddle pad.
Barn
I live in North Carolina so its hot and humid, would a horse really need a blanket? I was thinking about getting a light one for the winter. Would that be ok?
I’ve got an equine vet already. Also I have all the clothing I’ll need for one; boots, jeans- all of it!
The list is literally never ending…
A Farrier
An Equine Dentist (or you can use your vet)
A first aid kit- horses are always getting into trouble. You can make your own. I just bought a fairly large tool box and filled it with wound cleaner, beta-dine, cotton wraps, latex gloves, electrolytes, vet wrap, a thermometer, a stethoscope, neosporine, and tons more.
Supplements (from hooves to coat they have one for it all)
Wormer
Sawdust
Mats (for in the stall- they make mucking’ stalls so easy and horses appreciate standing on them)
Truck
Horse Trailer
That’s most of the big things you need…
Now for riding your horse.
Saddle
Saddle Pad
Bridle
girth
lunge line
mounting block (depends on you and your horse)
spurs (again depends)
a trainer (depends)
It goes on. There are so many things that you need. But if you have the basics, you can just grab more things as you go along. No, i would say your horse won’t be needing a blanket. I don’t know what winters are like there- I live in NE Ohio where its -5 on some days in winter. But if you want your horse to have a blanket on in the cold that’s perfectly fine. And for fly masks, horses appreciate them. They aren’t a need, just a way of keeping flys off of your horse’s face in bad fly weather.
Grass hay is a good hay for horses, or if you can find a grass hay mixed with alfalfa. Talk to your vet about any questions. Even ask them to sit down with you and figure out what your horse’s nutritional requirements are. It will take into consideration what your horse’s size is, how active it is and how many pounds of feed it should be getting.
Good luck
