Thanks in advance

PS I'm in Alberta (as most of you probably know) but I suspect costs wont vary that much across provinces

Dont forget the time required to look after them Butch, unless you are going for full boarding.

Re: Horses

Hi.

Sorry to bring the thread back to horses (!)

, but does anyone know if you can 'loan' horses in Canada (partic BC)? My daughter's pony mad, but I wouldn't know where to start with one, so we were planning to loan her a pony/small horse.

If you don't know anything about horses, it's best just to send her to a riding school to start off with as they should get her looking after the horses as well as learning to ride properly.

They are quite delicate creatures and need a fair bit of looking after and it's best your daughter learns properly than picking up bad habits that are hard to unlearn.

Re: Horses

Thanks. I don't think I was clear!
I'm the novice, my daughter's a reasonable rider. She started when she was three years old, and has been riding at least once a week since then. She's also been to week long camps, and stayed on ranches in Canada etc.
So she knows a fair bit about horses - I'm the problem!
