i have to add in something a rescue horse you would know if it is what you are looking for as a rescue is trying to find the best sutible home for the horse so if you want a light riding horse for a once a week putt you can get that but if you want a horse that can ride all day you will get a horse that can physicaly and mentaly do just that as a privet seller might say the horse can handle it even if it cant
: Hi Lilly! I'm a volunteer at the rescue, so
: i'll attempt to answer some of your
: questions. When you ask if adopting a
: rescue horse is cheaper than buying a horse
: from a private buyer are you asking about
: the initial placement fee/purchase cost? The
: placement fee that Rescues ask for isnt
: generally high, but it is a way that they
: can get a small fraction of the money that
: have spent on that horse back, to use for
: the horses still at the rescue. The initial
: cost whether you adopt or buy from a private
: seller will generally be different from
: horse to horse. Remember, that the initial
: cost of the horse is always the cheapest
: part of owning a horse. Board, upkeep, vet
: bills, farrier care, worming, vaccinations,
: tack, etc, will be far more expensive than
: what someone spends to purchase or adopt the
: horse. Taking care of horse will cost 2-3
: thousand dollars a year. More, if any vet
: emergencys arise. (injuries, sickness).
