Everything you need to know about having your own rescue horse

If you love horses and have wanted to adopt a rescue but have no previous experience with horses or how to take care of them I'm going to tell you how.

First you must realize that horses can live long lives, I've known horses to live to thirty five years plus, but generally the average life span for a horse is between twenty and thirty years.

Here are some very important questions you need to ask yourself before we go any further:
Are you ready to make this commitment?
Are you ready to be a horse person?
Are you willing to adjust your lifestyle to be available for your horse?

These are the three things your horse needs from you:
Commitment
Availability
Relationship

You may think that you have to be financially rich to own a horse or horses. This is not always the case. Obviously there are expenses needed to maintain your horse but it can be done on a budget. I know because I own seven rescue horses who are happy and healthy and I have found a way to keep them on a budget that is manageable for my lifestyle.
