Bullying and Buying what to do nearly it (read question)?
What should i do if im going to buy a horse cuz there is two i like but one is sweet and sensitive but the other is really hyper (im an experianced rider) and he is nice too but ppl voice its not good to buy such a young horse for a first horse and the other one is nice and all BUT I LOVE THE OTHER HORSE and everyone is mockery me on mondays when i have riding after school and their making fun of riding clothes what should i do?(i will not choose a best answer)
Why would someone say that a young horse is not good for you for a first time horse whether you are already an experienced rider? I mean I understand not selling a young horse to an inexperienced horse party period. But you said you are an experienced rider?? I'm confused.
I come up with that for a first horse, you should go with one that is elder and sensible and not hyper. I had a hyper horse for a lot of years, and let me relay you that it gets really old. At first you think it make you a good rider (and it does) because you can handle a hot horse, but you will be wrestling that horse the entire time while everyone else is out having fun. An elder horse will have the sense to deal with it when you get mistakes which you invariably will since it will be your first experience with horse ownership.
As for people at school making fun of you for your riding clothes - why are you wearing your riding clothes to arts school? Wear normal clothes to school and pack your riding clothes in a sack. You can change at the barn. I always have to transform in the tack room.
Answers: Buying a young, inexperienced horse is never a honourable idea for a first horse, no matter how experienced you are (or think you are).
As for the enticing - They are teasing you when you are wearing your riding clothes? Just laugh and say "It's Gucci! Don't you know the up-to-the-minute fashions?!" and if that doesn't make them stern off, tell them that your riding clothes are probably worth more than anything they own in their closet.
you shouldn't really buy a horse that is really hyper, even whether you are an experienced reider if it is your first horse!
Why are they teasing you about your riding clothes?
Next time they say aloud anything, just look them up and down, and then let out a faint snigger and turn away... it will really piss them off!
Don't say anything to them, don't administer them anything to work with!
OR.. when they say something, just roll with laughter hysterically at them and pretend you find your riding clothes really funny too! It will totally freak them out!
hehehehe

How young are we talking? And how experienced are you?
Young horses are bloody difficult. I'm an experienced rider (been riding for 12 years, competing for 5 years, work fragment time at a stable and as a groom and have had four horses since I got this one) and my 3yo warmblood is very calm by babyish horse standards but she still gives me a run for my money. Don't underestimate how difficult a young horse can be - they're incredibly unpredictable and try you out continuously.
I'd recommend going for the older horse, individually. Buying a young horse for a first horse is rarely a good model - even if you're a fab rider there's still so much that you can't possibly know yet.
I'd recommend asking what the bullies problem is with your clothes - i guarantee they won't own a valid answer and you can just pick their response to pieces and then they won't be able to excite you in the future.
I can't tell which horse to buy as I have not seen them or know what liberal of rider you are. The hyper thing does get old, and whether you want to show, go with the other horse.
For the bully's, just smile at them beside your most dazzling smile and it will drive them nuts.
You buy the horse that is practical for a first horse. One that has been in that, done that. Has jumped, showed, done dressage, eventing, endurance.. has done it adjectives so you can go out, compete, trail ride and have heaps of fun. You're not experienced enough for a childish horse and I know this because you have never owned a horse.
You don't go for the horse you love. Leave your heart at home.
Realistically, I don`t know you should look elsewhere, neither sound right for you. You need to be sure you're thankful with your horse and that you will be for at least a year. Make sure you purchase an experienced, calmness, gentle horse that can teach you everything. A horse that you connect with. You will know when you find it. Nothing lower than 10years... Look at Cross bred ponies too. Ponies are the best fun you'll have!
As for people teasing you, pay no attention to them!! They're mean-spirited little nuff-nuffs who have nothing better to do and should go out and grasp a life! Be happy with yourself, pay no attention to them and they will get bored and realise they are not hurting you and then the game will be over. Don't respond to them, don't dignify their tauntings and juvenile way of life with a response, you're better!
bout hte bullys. ignore them there only just jelous as ur prob a better rider den them or dey dnt have the finances to buy a horse. seriously ignore them. im quite mouthy so...ego mre than likely walk ryt up2 the person what at hand problem was with me. 9/10 times der shocked and shut up or it goes da ova agency n der all mouth usualy i laff.
laughings the best way to deal near bullys. =]
as for the horse issue. there is nothing wrong with buyin a young-looking horse. try out both. mre than once if u can. get a feel for both.
whether u do decide to go with this green young at heart unpredictable horse ask if u can have im on a weeks trial first. at least whether it doesnt work out u still gave it a shot. and u can take him bak. dont rush into it he might be pretty and look good but fink...looks aint everyfin. saftey is.
flawless luck finding ur dream horse! =)
Well, go with your gut. I would voice buy the hyper guy. If you get talked into buying the other, you might never be happy near him. The whole "first horse" thing is really over-rated. just because you've never owned a horse, it doesn't scrounging you are a novice, that you need a baby-sitter horse, or even that you are less experienced than an owner.
As for the bullying, cold-shoulder it if you can. If not, tell them "You know, I'm proud to be a horse rider, so just drop it. I don't really impart a darn what you think about my clothes!" or, my personal favorite... say something close to "Really! You like them? Well, Thanks!" or "Oh, thank you!" or sometimes, just smiling at them and being friendly and pretending you can't hear them, or that they are in actual fact talking about what they ate for breakfast works, too...lol..and I really like the Guuchi belief!
Good Luck!
