HI Spy: Your Equestrian Splurge

If you could have one horsey purchase given to you for free, what would it be?

As a horse person, you’re probably used to shopping on a budget. Just covering the equine basics gets pretty expensive, and once you add in extras like riding clothes, new tack and the occasional horse show, there isn’t much left over for impulse purchases.

If you were granted one horse-related item for free, what would it be? The possibilities are endless. You could go for the fancy saddle you’ve been eyeing at your local tack shop, a new show outfit or a state-of-the-art horse trailer. Maybe you’d really make it count by putting an indoor arena in your backyard or adding another horse to your herd.

Taylor    Condrey, GA 2/21/2013 2:21:59 PM The one thing I would get is the special edition Rider's Diary saddle blanket. The saddle blanket just seems so unique. I am a big fan of Rider's Diary's. So my horse won't be left out on Rider's Diary products. Erica    Beverly, OH 1/10/2013 9:04:56 PM I would want a new stable/barn. We have the acreage and the horses and we have shelters for them now, but they are more like lean to's. A stable with 2-3 stalls,a tack room, a wash bay,and a feed storage area would be amazing. I could know without a doubt that they would stay dry and warm. madison    timnath, CO 10/11/2012 4:38:38 PM i would want a horse! i love them so much!! i am 12 and i still dont have one! as i get older it gets worse. my mom owned horses when she was little but not any more. i am trying to find one to lease. so if u have one up 4 ;ease let me know. Kylie    Waseca, MN 9/17/2012 1:10:33 PM A two or three horse trailer with all of the extras! Then, my horse and I wouldn's have to rely on others to get to 4-H. And, my parents wouldn't have to pay for an exspensive trailer! :)
