#AskingMaya I know its none of our business really, but do you still talk and ride with Lauren? :)

[@K5O08]

absolutely love the fact that you supported buying used and cheaper things!! I feel like a lot of KZbinrs are able to afford a lot of luxuries that most cannot and its hard to find videos with practical advice! thank you!

[@huha3643]

So I just watched a video from a 280 pound bodybuilder explaining what you need for his drugged up training and this was in the list for the recommended videos... This video was still quite entertaining, even tho I dont want a horse. And the music at the end was nice so i guess I subscribe.:)

[@bradsuarez2683]

[@simplygrace5158]

[@britneysbeautystation283]

I have watched this video, over and over. I have been riding for eight years, and my dream is coming true! My horse is being delivered in a few weeks :) -KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

[@nothinbutequine]

You posted this at the best time as I just got my "first horse"( I'm full time leading him:)

[@bebedallas7679]

#askingmaya any tips for moving barns and how to deal with barn brats?

[@angelinaallen4664]

Bebe Dallas omg there are so many brats at my place because they're so spoilt

[@emmakathryn8118]

#AskingMaya - when did you first start riding and what made you want to start? - what do you like to do in your spare time apart from riding? - do you think you will ever get another horse? And keep Luna 😁 Love you 😘

[@ebrugger]

I have been taking lessons since I was three!!! I'm 11 now. I know how to do everything I've been to camps too!! At the lessons we go over brushing, feeding, putting saddles on, and thirty minutes of riding including trots, walking, and galloping!!! I've been looking at stalls, different hay companies, tack, saddles, and brushes!! Also I added everything( including the horse) up for what I need to begin taking care of the horse and it cost less then what my PARENTS had to pay for my sisters BIRD!!!!!

[@kristen7615]

#AskingMaya Are you going to take Luna to college, and what do you plan to study? Thanks :)

[@BaBa-qn3ti]

I've got my barn, bedding, 6 acres to roam, grooming supplies, picked out vet and ferrier, and many other necceceties. I found a horse to get! He will be my first! We are going to go get him in a few days! So excited!

[@joannab7299]

I like how some people think I'm rich bevause I have a horse now... I promise... I'm not... my horse costed 400 bucks and I got a full tack set for 150 bucks... a new western synthetic tack set. But, it is a great set. Then there are other people who say they aren't rich yet they have like 5 really nice saddles ;-; and pay a huge board... have millions of different things... so I'm like... mkay...

[@chelseaferrell82]

i paid $500 for my horse and $275 for a saddle and it wasnt easy on my parents and plus were building a fence now so i feel you

[@joannab7299]

+Chelsea Ferrell Ah... well I hope everything goes well with the horse and it won't be too much of a struggle to pay for it!

[@chelseaferrell82]

yeah its getting easier we baught almost everything so im so happy!!

[@joannab7299]

Chelsea Ferrell That's great! :D After we get my horse at a stable close to home we're basically all set up as well!

[@cyliefields1620]

i hate it when people act like they are so rich when they buy a horse and they have a nice saddle, i got a little s hackamore and bits from a moving sale the guy just gave them to me, i paid $75 for a new saddle at a moving sale which was an incredible deal but i do have to say that it was a pain in the but breaking it in, my legs hurt so bad. i got a full tack set from a lady i didn't even know, she saw my comment on her ad about how i liked it and she just sent it to me. than my horse character was raised on the farm and he was given to me by my dad after he was broke to ride which was no cost to me so i got very lucky :)

[@studentmum]

Getting my first horse this Saturday after 10 years of riding! So excited! This video helped a lot!

[@sashie1232]

This was really helpful, as I am getting my first loan pony in a couple of days :)

[@amelieequestrian5344]

Your bird is so cute and this video helped me a lot

[@abbyw1125]

I made a little list that you SHOULD buy before getting your horse: A stable (no kidding?) Basic caring supplies (grooming stuff) Tack (if your horse is broken) Bedding Hay Grain Salt lick haulter (just in case if the one that comes with your horse breaks, or is in bad condition.) Lead rope Buckets as needed Optional: try to find a room in your barn you could convert into a feed room so that theres no messes everywhere.

[@Dlind14]

bathing supplies, leg protection such as sport boots, polo wraps, splint boots etc, having a good farrier and vet, and also little things like fly spray, wound care spray .. are also some things to :)

[@annacarpenter9412]

I suggest a few vet wraps, gauze, and pvp for any cuts and such. I shadow at a vet's office and just incase your horse gets any unexpected cuts it will hold up at least to the clinic!

[@equinebeauty_8488]

Loved it, even though I already have had a horse for almost three years. Please please please do more vlogs, I absolutely love them!!!

[@poppyandjake100]

When buying a horse see if you can buy the tack, grooming kit and other things off them as sometimes it can cost less and you know it fits. As don't spend too much money on things you won't as it can affect how you can afford the things you need. Just enjoy this new adventure, and don't get stressed as your new horse will pick up on this.

[@whymetho6762]

I'm getting my first horse in a few days and I'm so nervous! I'm not inexperienced, but I feel like people on KZbin have all these things for their horses and I don't have everything that they have! So I was worried that I needed to go out and buy all of this stuff, but watching your video put me at ease a little bit. I'm pretty sure I have everything I need for now, thank you! (Oh and I love your bird!)

[@maura_the_rose]

That bird is too darn cute. xD I wish my birds trusted me like that. Also, is it wrong that I have a half-lease (my project, is a lesson pony owned by my trainer,) and with that I have an obsessive amount of stuff most people with privately owned horses have? xD Stuff I have -Saddle pads (like. . .four.) -Bathing kit -Grooming kit -Treats -Halter (friend-who-loves-him-and-rides-him-in-lessons-sometimes bought it) -Lead Ropes (much many lead ropes.) -Bonnet -Like four freaking sets of polos (can never have too many.) -Bridle -Nice-ass western suede saddle (got it and the western bridle for $75--pad and shank bit included.) -Two different types of bits . . .I ride english, however, I ride my half-lease western as well; so I privately own everything having to do with western and borrow english stuff. xD

[@horserider178]

Some stuff that i found that is good to have on hand is about 6 vet wrap i know that sounds like a lot but my horse has an abuses right now and he needs to wrapped everyday, alushield which is a sliver spray that is a banged it keeps the fly's out of any cuts that your horse may have, this is a ticker i learned baby dappers for the wrap and duct tap. Those are all things my instructor wants me to have for my horse. hope this helps anyone new to owning or leasing a horse. i lease my horse.

[@katefenley8284]

You should do a video on how to do polo wraps!

[@amberequine1019]

Getting my horse on Tuesday ❤️

[@tamikaallen5623]

Hey Maya, For your Q+A can you please answer these questions: 1. What was the name, height, colour, breed etc. of the first horse you rode? 2. What size rug, saddle, halter is Luna? 3. What has been your biggest comp so far? 4. What style of riding do you enjoy most? 5. What is Luna's colour (The colours you use on her)

[@elysiadakin4316]

Can't wait for my pony Rupert so excited and this has been very helpful x😆

[@mackenziedawn4724]

I know this is super old but I’m watching these videos because I’m getting my horse on Monday 😍 I’m SO excited 😭😁

[@starlightwishes4820]

I'm getting my bay gelding named Cruise on Thursday!!! Gaaahhh I'm so excited!!!

[@bea.hildebrandt]

Get a saddle that is the size of the horse you’ve decided to buy (full,cob,pony etc) and then get it fitted when you get the horse

[@paola5511]

in my barn you dont have to get a grooming kit or a halter and lead rope. they give you all that stuff. You would only need to buy a blanket, the tack and thats it. I live in spain.

[@isabellemarie6825]

I just love you and you have a whole channel about horses!!!!!!

[@jenz4524]

One thing I have learned over the years of horse ownership, tack swaps!!! They are the best for getting things at discounts, but make sure everything is in good condition. For the saddle, have a saddle fitter out to measure & try on different ones. I have learned not buy a saddle online because some people are dishonest about fit.

[@bellabennett1677]

i got my first horse the other day! shes a 15 year old ottb ( i have ridden ex race horses before, and i have also ridden ex trotters.) shes very sweet on ground and only wants to go fast if you get her in a fast canter! she came with a blanket, and someone is lending us their halter that she came in ( i have two but they said we could use it).

[@PetsAreForLifeTV]

Thank You For Them Helpful Tips. Me And My Mum Are Saving Up For A Horse, I Have Been Riding For 4 Years Now. With A Little Help From My Auntie Who Owns 2 Horses. I Am Super Excited To Be Saving Up. And I Am Definitely Buying Little Things First.

[@mississippibarrelracer6755]

[@nataliawyszkowski5564]

[@milpatto5845]

Can u do a video on rugs and which ones you need for what weather cause there are so many out there and I don't know which ones to pick!! ❤❤❤😍😍

[@karasnowgarden1248]

Thanks! My horse is coming next week!!!!!!! Eeeeakkkk!!!! This video really helped. But the owner gave me the tack with the horse, so..... I guess that makes it easier for me. I only need to buy a grooming kit and a lead rope + a halter.

[@livinthelifeofanequine5948]

for Christmas I got my first horse thanks to you I have extra help on owning her!

[@onewiththerats]

I'm getting my first horse which is a fresian in a couple months super excited

[@ameliamasters4836]

[@emilialeburel753]

[@trishydishy0595]

[@hannahdrew5911]

Oh my gosh! Your shirt is absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!😍😍😍

[@georgie1059]

Thank you this helped me a lot I just got my new horse today!♥️

[@morganpotter2926]

Thank you so much for this video I'm getting my first horse in 3 days and it's really helpful

[@emilysteger4205]

Here in Australia you can buy saddles from a Facebook site called show horses. I am a show rider and I ride in a county competitor and it is amazing but it is very expensive I would totally recommend buying an expensive saddle they help you to sit properly. Also for your first horse do not buy a race horse that has been off the track for only a short amount of time they won't make learning to ride very easy at all.❤️🐴

[@johnlovegrove2674]

have you got any horse riding tips like to sit in a correct position or a tip to help remember what everything is called and can you do a vidio on how to be a better rider

[@choccypenguin8625]

That is called the job of an instructor, they should have taught you all those things.

[@carolinejackson2238]

I got my own horse today! I was so excited! I've wanted one for like 8 years!

[@heidiedwards2429]

TheGoldenToby Congrats! How lucky! what's he/she's name!

[@mystic6316]

i am soon going to get my first horse but before i get my self to hyped up i searched for lots of horses and the tools and equipment and i have enjoyed sooo much learning horse back riding and i am sure that there are more things to learn but i still dont have quiet enough hopefully by 6 months or even more i will have enough (nice video by the way)

[@katiehitchcox9356]

thanks this helped a lot so now i am getting my own horse

[@ridingfree252]

Omg, I love your channel Maya ! :) x

[@yesmaybeno9256]

Just saying that it might not matter for the saddle because you can get a full bar saddle and then buy the girth after

[@jadamarine]

Perfect timing for me to find this! I just started to lease my first horse, Roxy!

[@kaelamaechap6929]

I'm getting a horse today and this was super helpful!!

[@eqabeamer3577]

[@emoryheider6791]

I'm so excited!!! We are looking for a house to move in and there is a house with 24 acres of land, a horse barn, a pond, a nice house, a pasture, and if we move there I can get a horse!!! I've wanted a horse my whole life and I might be getting one at my house!!! I'm not trying to brag in any way I'm just so excited.

[@desertsun1238]

thanks for the advice maya, im preparing to get my first horse and this was so helpfull. xoxoxo

[@maltedpeaches6796]

aww lucky

[@bradensworld9042]

[@orileyautoparts6952]

I’m getting a horse soon❤️ I’m getting a western 16hh flea bitten grey. His name is Smokey and I galloped him he was soooo smooth!!❤️❤️❤️

[@emmascrazyanimals2033]

Ahh I'm getting a horse Tuesday and I only have a grain bucket a saddle a lead a halter and a hay thingy

[@thatsassypony7975]

Wow this video actually helped me a lot because I'm getting a new horse:) great video 👍

[@thatsassypony7975]

Also my horse looks very similar to Luna!!! Luna's so cute

[@ssobambipandasister3589]

Maya, My mum owned a horse she still has 4 lead ropes, 2 halters, a bridle, all brushes hoof pick and curry comb and a saddle all in great condition but I'm not sure what type of blanket to get, any suggestions?

[@alwaysequestrian9556]

This video helped so much and you and Luna are goalssss😍😍

[@horsecrazy1055]

my dad bought me a dressage saddle and a bridle before i even had a horse. It honestly didnt make any sense but now all i need is to break my horse and get a bigger girth. Maybe ill end up selling my girth because it is small. Although i never used it and it the whole set was every expensive.

[@summerrider2968]

I really really really love horses and I was wondering if you could do a video of how to ride as ill be riding very soon

[@jackieequestrian1933]

can you do a (10 things that are a must in your tack box?)

[@ellakotecha5474]

hey I love your videos by the way I was wondering wether you could tell me what rug you think I should get for my first horse x I live in wales where it can be really hot and then really rainy the next dayx I was thinking of a medium weight turnout and a fleece? xx

[@riddagboken3570]

When you buy saddles is it common that you fit them yourself? I've watched a lot of American/Canadian equestrians and it seems more normal to just buy a saddle then to actually take someone who's educated on it out so see the horse. I'm just curious, here in Sweden almost everyone hire a professional to help them find the perfect saddle for their horse. :)

[@raisalongworth5195]

GETTING MY FIRST PONY TOMORROW!! Finally can say that:) it's the pony in my profile picture :)

[@elisewright3291]

[@cheventing9177]

Thank you so much you Helped me alot I'm getting a horse. so this was a big help

[@yaffatilbor3921]

im watching this and im already owning three horses lol lol

[@reblegirl5860]

In August of 2019 I'm getting a horse so of right now there are five more months and I've been doing for the past 3 days lots and lots and lots and lots of research because 4 days ago we went to a horse show so I got a bunch of magazines and everything and I'm curious where did you get your saddle like if you don't mind me asking cuz I've been searching everywhere and the ones that I find that I actually like or like $925 or $995 like girl that is very expensive and yes this horse is my life and I am financially stable and I'm also time my time stability it's amazing cuz I I'm homeschooled so I have like time during the whole entire day so I could be with my horse 24/7 but like I was saying what brands do you recommend for things like tack Weis? Recommend a stable ball like the balls that you would buy from like Tractor Supply or I don't know I can't think of another horse store right on the spot but would you recommend one or would they be like a no-go?

[@kylie1522]

How many hands is Luna? I'm getting a horse that's 17 hands and I'd like a range because this is my first horse 😊😊

[@laurenkelly30]

Pretty sure she's 17.2hh :)

[@mckennagallagher6118]

#AskingMaya do you have any tips on sitting the canter as I'm having trouble doing so because of how uneven my horse's stride is. Thank you! You and Luna are awesome!

[@juliaequine9570]

I recommend buying a saddle from Amazon I got mine for $100 and it is amazing quality it's beautiful and it's very sturdy basically but expensive tack on Amazon

[@hater2041]

Omg. That budgie in the background, SU CUTE 😊.

[@pippycates4374]
