First, you need to go to a school for training horses.  I suggest finding someone that you like, such as John Lyons, Pat Parrelli or Chris Cox...do your research and find the best one.  There are also Cowboy and Cowgirl camps that you can attend and hone your skill.  PLUS, having taken riding lessons of course will help.  Then, buy you a little unbroke pony and with a friend with you incase of injury, get to it!  Good luck!

Please don't teach your 20 year old horse anything.  It's like teaching your 97 year old grandmother to play football, lol.  Just walk it, feed it and groom it.   "Horse sense"

Depending on your age, you should check into the University of Arizona's Race Track Education program http://ag.arizona.edu/rtip/ Several very famous trainers have gone through that program.  The traditional way to learn about training is to go work for someone and start from the ground up - go from hotwalker to groom to barn foreman to assistant trainer.  It takes a lot of hardwork and you will only ever learn the point of view of the trainer for whom you work.  Going through a program like the UA and some other schools offer you learn far more about equine anatomy, physiology, lamenesses, training theory, equine psychology, medications, etc. etc. in a shorter period of time.  The UA program does not focus specifically on teaching trainers either, their Industry program teaches courses about the frontside of racing (marketing, business, legal, etc.).  Finally they are established within the industry and their students get great internships and career placement advice.  If you are interested in hearing from students of the program, check out www.finalturn.com/forum there are several current and former students who would be glad to help you.

There are a few great places to buy horses and accessories aside from the yellow pages advertising tack shops and/or equine veterinarians. Both are excellent sources to inquire about horses, equipment, additives and medications-i.e., anti-worming medication, bone density formulas, hoof care, etc...\n\nDepending upon the type of discipline you are involved in,  the racetrack and trainers of horses often have horses they would like to get rid of that are costing the trainer and owner to keep. You can pick up a horse for free or for a nominal amount from the racetrack-trainers/owners.  You could also claim a racehhorse off of the racetrack if you want to race a thoroughbred/standardbred. Check with the Racing Secretary's office for details as to how to go about claiming a racehorse off of the racetrack or getting in touch with a trainer listed in the horse racing section of your newspaper-sports section.\n\nAlso, many farms and individuals adbvertise horses for sale. The A.S.P.C.A. within your community may be for adopting dogs and cats, but the A.S.P.C.A. may be able to assist you in getting to a locally adopt a horse program and for a nominal fee, you can adopt a nice riding horse for yourself.\n\nMany farms, with web sites, advertise in Thoroughbred Times.com. Simply browse through the pages for a farm near you or go to the back of the weekly publication of the Thoroughbred Times.\n\nAnother place that may have a web site, but, you would have to get in touch with them for their web site is...\n     Fasig-Tipton\n     2400 Newtown Pike\n     Lexington, Kentucky   40583-3610\n     Telephone = 859-255-1555\n     Fax = 859-254-0794\n     E. Mail = info@fasig-tipton.com\n\nDepending upon the discipline you seek or the intentions you may have for a horse is where you will find the right horse for you. Remember, there are over two hundred uses and disciplines for horses. Some for breeding, racing, farming, recreational, etc. and within those categories, there are specific horses for specific use. In farming or ranching, there are Cutting Horses, plow or work horses, etc.\n\nIt is not recommended you seek a 'one glove fits all' web site when buying any horse. Be specific as to your intentions. Over the many years and especially since World War II, horses have been bred, trained and fined tuned for specific disciplines and intentions for any owner.\n\nRemember one thing...NEVER-NEVER buy or accept ownership of any horse without a veterinarian examining the horse thoroughly. In expensively priced horses, twenty five thousand dollars or more, do an x-ray of the entire skeleton and a sonergram of his legs from the knee cap on down. Once you accept ownership, that horse is yours, for better or worse. You may either have a nice horse or someone else's troubles. Spend a few extra dollars up front, first, it can save you a great amount, later, and lessen the headache/cost a horse can have upon the owner. \n\nAsk for records and if possible, with racehorses, using a minimum 4MP camera, roll back the upper lip and using a towel or cloth over the horses eyes, so, as not to frighten the horse from the flash, snap the tattoo number with the camera and download it on to a computer. Once downloaded and printed, you may get in touch with the harness/thoroughbred racetrack or the equine veterinarian to trace the history of the racehorse, including as to why the horse is no longer racing, i.e., age, injury, etc.\n\nA horse is your responsibility 24/7. Before accepting ownership of any horse, inquire where, or what farm, you intend to house the horse and get exact quotes for monthly rentals of a stall, how big are the available stalls, the quality of the hay, how often and how much do they feed and exactly what are they feeding the horse, etc. Ask around as to the credibility and dependability, reputation, of the farm where any horse will be stalled. Ask about hours of operation, weekends, etc. Do not second guess anything when it comes

1st, get a job where YOU make enough to pay for the horse, boarding, food and medicine for as long as you own the horse. Next, pay for the groomer, the saddles, the accessories, etc. etc. Oh yeah, find the time to take your kids to visit the horse everyday at least until the newness wears off.

To find some quickly, go to the yahoo search bar and type horses, or whatever you are specifically looking for. You will get current and past/resolved questions. I did this with bass fishing, and found hundreds of questions with great info.  You can also do an advanced search and find more specific information.  Good luck!

If you go to a riding stable for a one-hour or afternoon trail ride, you will most likely be riding a horse wearing a Western saddle, who is accustomed to different riders.\n\nMost of the places I visit to do this are fun, because I look for well run, clean barns with well cared for horses and friendly staff.\n\nStay away from any place where the horses look sick and the people are surly.\n\nIf you decide to take riding lessons, some places teach using Western saddles, others use English saddles.  English saddles are smaller, lighter, do not have a saddle horn to hold on to, and you learn to use your legs and your balance to move in rhythm with the horse.\n\nI have taken lessons and leased horses long term.  It's worth the money to go to a well-run place and learn properly.  Then if you want to go for a trail ride, you'll be able to ride at a trot or canter, instead of just a walk.\n\nI always wear a riding helmet.  Even the most experienced riders fall - remember Christopher Reeve?  He was a million times better than I'll ever be.  \n\nAs long as you use common sense and choose your stable carefully, horseback riding is the best fun in the world.
