Everything you need when you buy a horse

Buying a horse is a big deal, and you want to save as much money as possible. That's why I wrote some store recommendations along with everything you will probably need to buy when you buy your own horse. Some things you may not need depending on the stable you are going to stall your horse in. I'll put a * mark next to it if that might be the case.

Stores

Some of my favorite stores to buy horse stuff at are Chicks Discount Saddlery, Stateline tack, and Tractor Supply co. They are all super cheap and make horseback riding affordable.
