Finding your dream horse is not that easy. We can tell you a thing or two about that - for Marie from\n#teamsportsfreund, it took numerous test rides until she found her personal dream horse. Why buying a\nhorse is often more difficult than expected and what you should look out for when buying your dream\nhorse, we want to tell you in our article.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you decide to buy a horse, you probably already have concrete ideas in mind. You know whether you\nwant a gelding or a mare, a four or a five horse. There are also coat colours you like better than others, and\nyou know your budget and how much your dream horse should cost.<\/p>\n

It is good to have an exact idea of the future horse. After all, the horse should not only stay with you for the\nnext two or three years, but ideally for the rest of its life. If you are keen on tobogganing through the forest,\nyou should definitely not buy a three-horse - even if it has your favourite colour and fits into your budget.\nAnd if you are a fan of passport races, you will certainly not be happy with a four-horse in the long run.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a concrete idea of the dream horse naturally also means that the search becomes considerably\nmore complex. Therefore, not only the head should decide. The heart also has a certain say: sometimes\nthe planned dream horse is standing in front of you - but the spark just won't ignite. Instead, your\nheart beats for a horse you weren't really looking for, but found. A gelding instead of a mare and instead of\na wind colour, the horse is a boring brown - except that with this horse, brown is suddenly no longer boring\nat all.<\/p>\n

What does a horse cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most important points when buying a horse is the question: How much does a horse actually\ncost and what can I afford? Here you should not only know how much money you can spend on a horse, but\nalso clarify the question: What do I actually get for my money? Does 6,000 euros really buy me a well-trained\nall-round leisure horse with an easy-to-ride t\u00f6lt and wind colour markings or do I have to cut back on\nthis budget and take a bay horse that does not t\u00f6lt instead of a wind coloured horse?<\/p>\n

In the following we would like to give you a rough overview of how much horse you get for how much money.\nOf course, there are always exceptions, and horses can be cheaper and more expensive. For example,\nwhether you buy your horse from someone who makes a living from it or whether you buy your horse privately\nplays a role here. The location of the horse is just as important as the country of origin. In Denmark\nyou can sometimes get \"more\" horse for the same money. The same goes for Iceland - of course, you don't\nhave to forget the import, which also costs money.<\/p>\n

Besides, a big horse with a special color costs more than a small chestnut with little mane, but which\nmoves just as well.<\/p>\n
