All the Things I Need When I Get My Horse?
So im getting a new horse and im making a list and adding up the total on how much everything is going to be so i don’t forget anything when i go shopping.
What all do i need?
I have most of the stuff but i want to make sure i dont forget anything.
Also what saddle do you recommend i get for my horse?
I do dressage, starting eventing. What brand and maybe website i can find them on?
Thank you!
Grooming stuff (curry comb, body brush, hoof pick, mane/tail brush, face brush)

Bit
Bridle
Halter
Lead Rope
Saddle
Stirrup leathers
Stirrup pads
Stirrups
Girth
Saddle pad
Shampoo
Sweat scraper
Shedding comb
Boots (If needed, it depends on the horse. I do jumping with my horse, so I use Sport boots)
Salt block (Important because it encourages them to drink water & stay hydrated)
Hoof Conditioner to prevent cracks
Reins
Fly mask
Fly sheet (optional)
Winter blanket
Cooler (for the winter to cool them down after riding)’
Wound ointment (I use Corona Ointment on my horse and i love it!)
Treats
If you don’t have a budget for saddles, I recommend Wintec saddles. They are super good quality and not really really expensive like some of the others.
