"Convince" Your Parents to Get You a Horse

[@eqlaci5507]

IT WORKED!!!! i did all of this and presented it to my parents and they said that once that we had the money that we could start looking for one!!! of course after working at the barn for a while... but anyway thank you lauren soooo much!!!!!!

[@caitlinsummer4469]

This comment made me smile, so glad your getting one!!

[@eqlaci5507]

awe thanks

[@avamco7]

Caitlin summer your so nice❤

[@devynculver3999]

How is your horse doing?

[@pietae3442]

My parents were never the type of people to let me get a horse.. I have been riding for a few years now. What I did was I told them that It would be easier to get my own horse and take it to the near by pony club, because all the rising schools are 45mins away from where I live. I have shown them that i'm responsible e.g. keeping my room tidy, looking after my own pets, helping them out etc. I also am very lucky to go to my dads work and earn a good amount of cash to pay for costs. You should also write down all the costs and see if you can do halves. Surprisingly, they finally let me get a lease horse, I have found one and I have trialled her, now I'm getting her in a few days :))

[@marissacalander2164]

Where was this video when I was like 13? I love it because I did a lot of what you did and I even went as far to create a business portfolio and barn design at the age of roughly 13-14 for the stables I was planning on owning someday. It literally detailed everything from how much it would all cost to the number of stalls offered for boarders vs. lesson horses, the rates for lessons, the hours of operation, rules; etc. I'm talking, this was a binder packed FULL of my plans that I casually left lying around for my dad to see; he owns his own business so I thought he'd be super impressed and FINALLY give in. I really left no room for doubt in how dedicated I was and how willing I was to do anything to make it work. My stepmom told me later that they had both seen it and were really impressed by my level of seriousness and dedication so, I thought, YES! HE'S FINALLY GOING TO LET ME RIDE! Five years later and still no real lessons or a horse of my own. Now I'm a freshman in college and I'm looking at barns in the area to just do it on my own #nevergiveuponyourdreams :)

[@morgan-qx7hv]

Omg we have like the same tactics I always just let them lay around. I think the only reason mostly why we can't is cause my mom i so allergic. :( but I'm still trying.

[@anna7203]

So what happened? ❤️

[@s.lawrence9736]

I've been riding for 2 years (I'm 19, yes I started learning as an adult) I have started learning to jump, I know dressage to elementry level and have done horse courses even before I learnt to ride to take care of horses. I have three barns literally within 5 minutes (bonus is I live right on the cusp of suburbia and semi rural areas) all three are a flat rate of just $50 a week (do all the mucking, feeding yourself and just pay fir the yard) and I've calculated total monthly cost would be $680 (that's including agistment, petrol/gas, equine insurance, feed, bedding, farrier, worming.) and still can't convince them Funny thing is my riding school allow us to lease some if there homebred horses (they used to be a stud) but it's only fir experienced riders as most of the horses fir lease are younger than the school horses and it's more bloody expensive to lease from them at $280+ a WEEK than to own my own 😪 So now I am starting up my own online equestrian apparel shop to create an income for myself so I can buy my own horse. Coz I'm bloody sick of wishing and waiting every birthday/Christmas thinking this will be the year I get one and it isn't 😭

[@littlekitty1039]

S. Lawrence Ah Whish I had a horse Evan if I payd myself my dad would go where would it stay that's the problame I'm in Scotland Thats an problem and mhy dad won't let me just really everything I say is a NO for an answer

[@snowbunnycare]

My problem isn't that my parents don't trust me or that I don't have enough time. It's just money. Ughhhhhhhh.

[@hannahloveshens6748]

Hi there is things you can do to make it cheaper, try keep them in the field 24/7 if the weather is good , don't shoe her and let somebody part loan your horse then it will cut costs so much I hope you get one soon :))

[@snowbunnycare]

The place I wanna board is only like $100 a month and it's all outdoor board, the horse I want doesn't have shoes, and no one lives close enough to partly board.... :/ My parents are just rude.

[@Ducttapegirl472]

Wow where I ride its $900 to board per month not counting lessons. But it's a great barn and the service is amazing so it's worth it.

[@snowbunnycare]

Ohhhhh that sucks. My board would only cost $100 because it's my boyfriend's house and he has horses. The stable I ride at is like $300.

[@abunnou]

Oh here is something lease the horse and you don't have to pay and you have to pay each month but full lease

[@maizieminckler5961]

I honestly try to 'convince' them so much! I work at the barn every Sunday, doing buckets, turning out, bringing in horses, sweeping, but, I take lessons every other week. At the end of the days that I work, I get an hour with one of the horses to ride,lunge or do whatever else. But, I STILL haven't cantered yet. It gets so annoying watching 7 year olds doing jumps while I'm just trotting. Ughhhhh. My coach hates me I think.

[@abigailglessner1535]

I would switch trainers if you don't really find yourself moving forward in your riding:)

[@maizieminckler5961]

+Horse Jumper I was really thinking, but I sat my coach down and said, "so, do you see me growing in my riding?" And instantly she said, " your cantering in 3 weeks." So if this is true, I will stay at my barn. Plus, show season has been REALLY busy.

[@RachelHeywood]

+MyReal Magic There are MILLIONS of barns that will give you want you want! Don't pay for something that isn't right for you! Take your Business somewhere else!

[@crescentmoone6933]

I feel you! I've ridden for 8 years, no horse. Then I see the spoiled third graders from my other school who each own two horses. So annoying ;c

[@stephanie_365]

MRM Equestrian I know how you feel so much I've been riding for 7 years and started jumping a couple months ago but now my trainer won't teach me

[@sofia01ht]

i used to go to a barn with my trainner every saturday from 5:30 am till around 12 and i loooved it i helped cleaning washing feeding horses, also went on free rides once a while and i did natural horsemanship and riding lessons (i do dressage) but then the owner switched barns and my trainner will not longer go there so we (i say we because she is a friend of my parents and she's like my permanent trainner i love her) had to change barns and my parents totally want to get me a horse because i had like personal problems and they totally saved my life so they know horses are a really important part in my life and having one would be a big step forward for myself, but we are like middle high class 5 member 3 dog family and they can't afford to have another "child" it's sad but i can't do anything about it but save up as much as i can and help my parents pay for it. because they do know i'm committed the problem is the stupid money! it's so sad :'(

[@kenzington8485]

I've been riding for 6 years (using rentals and school horses) and done everything in my power, every day riding, bought tack, helped out ALOT and I mean ALOT quit all my other activities, saved up so much money!! Help

[@katielynn8054]

All the calculations would just prove to my mom that we can't afford it :P

[@alexcu67AC]

I said to my mum if I got a horse I wouldn't be stuck on my iPad lol

[@cantering_callie2929]

That is actually what I said haha 😂😂

[@fourhoovesmademagic8890]

[@RebeccaDoglake]

Same :D

[@missilhaam3602]

Same but they don't really care

[@DashaCloudrock]

ooo rebecca heyy

[@bethanyjennings6365]

I totally agree with the idea that you can't "convince" your parents to buy you a horse. It's way too big of a commitment both time and money wise. I tried my fair share of begging my parents to let me lease a horse, and my mother's response was that "I would love to get you a horse, but we just don't have enough money." she says perhaps in a couple years if we have enough money, I can lease, but for now I'm content with lessons and working :) Great video, thank you!

[@LS-vb3ko]

THANK YOU SO MUCH LAUREN!!!!!!! My dad is finally thinking about buying me a horse after 7 years :D I did my research and it turns out my uncles friend owns a boarding barn just a few minutes from my house. Thank you ^^

[@jaylynnchandler7879]

I am 11 and this summer me and my best friend are working at the barn we both take lessons that😃 i'm so happy me and my best friend are both obsessed with horses😝 won't get paid but we get free lessons every week💕

[@sophierichards6428]

My mum said she'd consider it when dad came to her about it. And my dad said no because HE can't be bothered

[@encequine9551]

My mum and dad are like yeah (my mum mostly) but then when I ask my dad to ring about a horse I've found he's like but. And it's really annoying.

[@kermit246]

READ ME MyEquineAddiction im there with you. but my dad is rich and my mums like "you want a horse ask your dad" so i asked him and i saw in his bank more than lets say £6.000 and the horse i wanted was £2.000 and there is a barn right next to him literary. i was like "I'LL COME DOWN DER AND FEED IT RIDE IS 3-4 DAYS A WEEK AND ADD THE WEEKENDS!!!!" my dad lives in kent. anyway he said no because he could be bothered. ... i swear i cried for like 2 hours but anyway my mum was like "if you really want you can go work for the barn up the road and help them with grooming and stuff. and they said if you do that and do a good job i'll give ya some lessons for your b-day or something." i cried (happy tears) running around and screaming. anyway im a very horsey person but its sad i can never be around them and im not rich and im not in the county. but i swore when im older i well live in the county when im older and i will live around horses but i dont think thats gonna happen. ;~; pls read me i need help to convince my mum to give me lessons. by the way im not American im english and i dont like tea x3 i like hot chocolate >:3

[@margaretcollins3159]

White Caribou You shouldnt get a horse if you dont ride yet

[@beckatanner1786]

Sorry I agree, but if you haven't been around horses for a while and realised how much work there is involved , then you should take lessons. I would say to beg your mum, and propose to maybe pay for the feul to get to the school, or bike there is it is closer, and half the cost for the lessons. My mum hates the local riding school, especially now that one of the horses they were meant to be 'training' was pushed past the breaking point and got its eye stabbed out on a stake when it jumped out of the pen. anyway I get lessons from the my mum who used to ride professionally, and the neighbour who owns a horse that I can use.

[@mayatyson1614]

I just started riding in July. I did a horse camp and fell in love. I started helping out at the barn, cleaning stalls, feeding them etc.. I love it. My parents told me in a yea or two if I am still into horses and prove I really want one, they will think about it. They talked about letting me lease one. I am hoping they say yes to that!

[@fudd8963]

Great video! As a parent, this is right on! You have to PROVE that you can afford it and that you are mature enough to do it. And yes, it will take YEARS to do! Kids (and adults) get excited about things, but that excitement wears off. You can't let that happen when you own a horse. I had to do ALL of the calculations you did to convince my husband that we should get a horse for our girls (and me too!!!). Good job! You sound very mature!

[@equestriangirl1999]

Hey Lauren, can you make a video about what to look for in a horse/where to look? I have convinced my parents to get one and we can afford one but I have been looking for months and have trouble so looking for advice! thank you

I swear i've watched this video before now.

I'm a 15yr old Irish lad and I've been riding for 11yrs and I've been begging my parents and I think I've finally broke threw thanks to this vid

[@gracechambers2276]

Did your parents bring up the college issue? What you were going to do with your horse? How would you have time for it when at college? I think that's the major thing my parents are worried about. I do share a lease with my sister and pay for a portion of that and my mom is just now paying for lessons so I'm much closer than I used to be.

[@maddy556]

[@Ali-gb6gk]

i'm also working at my barn right now and i'm going to the stables everyday but my parents still don't want to buy me a horse. You gave me so much hope because your story is the same as me now so i'll try the detailed presentation. I'll keep you updated thank you so much.

[@laurenclarke3649]

+One last ride Me to! I made a powerpoint of the reasons that they should buy me a horse and they really liked it! I would also try that because it seemed to have worked pretty well for me! Good Luck

+Lauren Clarke did you end up getting a horse?

[@laurenclarke3649]

Not yet, my parents are still figuring it out.

[@Ali-gb6gk]

but they said yes?

[@laurenclarke3649]

+One last ride they said they have to think about it but most likely.

[@polinagamazova3891]

when she talked about don't ask your parents to pay for everything it is never gunna work, i felt so bad for those that have to pay for themselves. my mum rides her self and my dad always encourages me to keep going. my mum wants me to ride so she buys me all the stuff needed. for those that have to pay for them selves i feel so bad and i hope your parents change their minds

[@baizley06]

I look after a retired school pony and he's the best, I do not have to pay anythi g for him ☺

[@mxkki3687]

i cry my eyes out every night hoping and praying for a horse, and it makes me so upset that all these 6 year olds getting these beautiful fancy horses and getting bored of them in about a month.. i wish there was a way to show my mum that getting a horse will mean the world to me!! D:

[@pipermcclean9133]

Is it weird that I don't want a horse...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HORSES!!!!!!! Reasons why I can't have a horse •I'm only 10,my parents would think it would be silly to own one •(I don't know for sure) I don't believe you can ride any other horse except yours •I just don't have enough time to do this •We just don't have enough money The reason I should have a horse •I'm very responsible!!! I take care of feeding my pets, brushing my 5 year old sisters hair everyday!! (She's a brat) •I absolutely LOVE horses and I'm committed to it •I'm fine with mucking,feeding, washing, and everything else It's just a very awkward time right now since I'm moving and I might have to change schools, My dad has been on a trip for 2 weeks and he just got back today!! I just don't want to put that stress on my mom and dad!!

[@pipermcclean9133]

It's hard for me because..My mom doesn't even like me riding...I only get to ride 4-7 weeks out of the year!!! I want one so bad I just don't have time right now

[@anafmo7740]

+Jessica Coldren at least you ride, i dont and i really want to i live next to a barn and they still say no. I would do anything to ride even if its once a month. But i dont stop begging them about it so hopefully one day i get to finally ride.

[@kristindawn87]

Or if you can't afford a horse, you can work to board your horse at your local barn if they offer that. This is a cool video!!!:D

[@liv7759]

I love your videos !❤️ can you do a video on what you look for in a horse when you want to buy one?

[@maypotter935]

Hi, a quick tip to those looking to buy a horse. I'm not sure how it works in other countries but in nz it is a REALLY good idea to insure your horse. It is actually really cheap and it means you don't have to worry about surpise vet calls, bills ect.

[@felicitybeatson571]

I live in NZ I have been on trade me horse website's

[@beckatanner1786]

Romilly Potter I live in gisborne nz, and have found my dream horse on trade me and I am about half way to saving up for him he is a lot cheaper then most horses that I found on trade me. I just hope my parents will cooperate!! Only problem is he lives in Auckland and that's a 6 hour drive at least from here!! I doubt I will get to have him. but my parents told me to buy a saddle before a horse, but I was like, you can't just buy a saddle that will fit any horse. I mean like, just because when mum you were growing up you had one saddle for your three horses, that does not mean that one saddle will fit any horse I get!! I'm quite a quiet person at school and get good grades luckily, so I am just saving up slowly, I do the local paper run which earns me 100 dollars a month, but still I'm only 13 so yeah. I don't get money fast. But anyway I shouldn't keep this comment going forever😂

[@maypotter935]

Good on you for making things happen yourself! It definitely does take a long time to save up to buy horses but don't give up, I know what it is like. I have been taking lessons since I was 4 and didn't get my first pony till I was 9 and she was a $500 little welsh pony that had been out of work for 8 years and now I have 2 horses one of which I pay for myself. I would wait to get a horse first before you buy a saddle unless you buy one with an interchangable gullet (the wintec saddles are very cheap but reliable) but even these have the potential to not fit your horse. Goodluck xx

[@beckatanner1786]

Romilly Potter Thanks, I was looking at a saddle with one, but then I found an old english saddle in my grandparents basement, which is in pretty good condition, it just needs a little time spend on it and it will be good. It also fits me, so I'm hoping that it will clean up well.

[@meadowdusk6795]

My parents say I'm too young and there's simply nowhere I would be able to keep it. I live in a small house, and I can only ride once a week, but if it were up to me I'd ride every day. But school restricts that :( Plus, I ride at a place half an hour away and there was one 15 minutes but it closed down.

[@duhitsflori257]

my only problem is the *grazing and the money. *All the empty fields by my house are either residential or are for cattle grazing

[@13word]

I think the main reason why my parents are so stubborn about the topic of leasing a horse is because I live 20 minutes away from my barn and they dont want to constantly go to the barn

[@chanteljones1798]

Thank you so much. My mom will not buy me a horse she said because it too much money. She thinks the horse will get sick and all but I'm going to show her we can afford it!

[@madisonmason8868]

I might be getting a horse soon but I have to get my mum to let me, and here's what I'm gonna say "I really want this horse, I will ride everyday, I will do homework till bed afterwards and all that stuff then I'm gonna say, and if I start neglecting it and not going to the barn then you can sell her, you bought her, you can sell her" wish me luck!!

I swear to god that really helps me

[@jaynatistan4080]

And also all of my riding friends own horses and I feel super left out 😞

[@lk2pointwinner919]

Horses are my life! I followed all of your steps and everything! But it isn't looking good. My mom and dad say that we don't have the money. And the community we live in, they don't allow horses! That's the worst rule ever!!!!! The only way I can get a horse now is if I lease one. I used to take horse back riding lessons, but I couldn't continue. My family doesn't have the money to sign me up again, so I will have to make money. Wish me luck!!!

Ill probably get a hamster after using this method 😂😂

[@aransassharp6475]

I want a HORSE😠 so much

[@coralhughes9812]

My mum says it's about the time and commitment you need, I've written pages and pages of the reasons I should be able to have a horse......Then I did the pros and cons and solved all the cons I said I would save up and once I've got all the money I would pay my parents back. I STILL can't have a horse although my mum said she would talk about it with my dad. I'm only 10 years old so I can't get a job......I also answered all of my mum and dads questions, what do I do now??

[@agilityqueen3005]

Coral Equestrian show your parents you really want a horse by maybe taking lessons, and possibly helping out at a local stable, you may also be able to go to a horse camp. get around horses more and hope for the best

[@Aituariagbon]

I want a horse soo badly and buying a horse isn't a problem but ceeping it and taking care of it and buying all that stuff . That is the problem so yeah please help me if you had this problem because we don't have all that money to buy a horse and ceeping it and taking it to the vet. Please help!?:(

How did I get here from watching TomSka?! LOL

[@jcc5942]

Thank you this really helped☺

[@frykids2236]

I'm nowhere near ready for a horse but I would like to lease one! The only problem is my parents don't want to take the time to drive me to the barn I want to lease at :/ I also don't think they understand how much I want it. They don't know anything about horses or the sport of horseback riding and aren't willing to learn anything about it. I mean, I have been doing weekly lessons for 2 years and they have NEVER seen me ride except for the show I did a week ago. I don't know what to do. If anyone has advice I could really use it!

[@frykids2236]

maybe. I feel like the only thing with that is that I want to have a family when I'm older. i really think the only appropriate time for this is now. I don't know what to do.
