See The Land Man

I don’t plan on competing or anything. I just want a horse I can ride for pleasure. It doesn’t need to be a breed.
I am not getting one anytime soon. Its for the future but im having a look online at horses and was wondering what I should be looking at paying because there are some for £200 right up to £10,000!

and the last part of my question from what im looking at horses have breeds? and some are just mixed? am I wrong?

For a safe horse for a beginner you really need to be looking to pay £2,500 or more. This will depend on the size and breed required. Every horse has a breed even if it is of mixed breeding. Certain breeds have more tendancy to make good or bad starter horses.

   First off your last sentence doesn’t make any sense. Are you sure you know all the responsibilities of owning a horse and all the effort that goes into it, i saw your other question about loaning a horse, not all loans are like that why don’t you try to find a different loan. But if you are insisting on getting a horse and since your a beginner you’d want to get a nice older bombproof horse in the price range of 2500-5000

   edit: Sorry misunderstood your last sentence, but all horses have breeds even if its mixed its a crossbreed. Like a thoroughbred mixed with a quarter horse.

   It can cost from 100 pound to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
   plus caring, stbale, grazing, feed, hay, straw, vet, dentist, farrier – Just a little price I pay up to 1000 a month of each of my horses.
