Bird I have a tiny mouth. So they laugh at me.
I gotta have so much dental work done.

Versa I think when his older he will be okay.
I need to talk to my dentist and see if they don't mind if he watches them work on me.
I think it would make him feel more comfortable and maybe let them try.
My daughter is built different tho XD
Her first needle didn't even cry, just went "oh no!"
The last set she did cry tho.

I used to not mind going to the dentist, but lately I hate it because the hygienists my dentist employs are so rough. I want to switch.

Sunni,
I know lots of adults who are also terrified of the dentist. So I really don't blame him. Maybe someday he will start to learn that he doesn't have to be scared <3

I love my stallion but i also would love if he wouldnt add insult to injury and make pretty colts, like sir. Make ugly geldable colts 😭

Versa with my son not gonna lie...we have to pin and hold him down.
I genuinely feel horrible doing it.
But for the dentist he cannot be awake at all.
He just had a full blown meltdown.
We even changed dentist that specializes in autistic children.

Oh, orange juice actually sounds really yummy right now...

Down south, not gonna lie the first time I had blood drawn I passed out. XD I was around 18ish I think.
I scared my mom so bad I laughed afterwards.
What's weird is I didn't have a panic attack from it.
It just made me feel extremely tired after.
Guess my blood sugar was low are something.
Orange juice helped.

I work in the medical field. I am positive they aren't going to sedate for shot.

Sunni,
Odd. I mean, I was never rude or mean to my doctors in any way. Never tried to hit them or run away. *Maybe* I could see it for a kid more likely to lash out, but I dunno

Versa, I guess it depends case to Case.
Sunni

Star that would be a good question for a doctor.
Versailles
10:28:46 Versa
Sunni,
For sure. But the idea of someone sedating a kid to make them take the needle is outlandish. Never heard of it lol
Sunni
10:28:16 Sunni bunny
Versa a fear of needles is pretty common.

Okay.. so... this may sound very stupid, but I truly do care to get this information. We have been looking into moving to a 5 acre property, and possibly adding an equine to the family. So, I am curious on the following basics:

What type of vet things are needed/How often/Average costs
Basic supplies needed (As I know many are confused on needed/wanted)

I have been riding for over four years now, so I know the basics of saddling, bridling, and overall riding skills, but owning a horse as a whole is foggy to me. I know they need to have their teeth floated, farriers to trim, that sort of thing, but more information would be much appreciated :) I have done some basic research, but feel like this community would be able to help quite a bit.

*I am the only horsey person in my family as well

Get books. Talk to trainers. They are ten THOUSAND times more reliable and more likely to be right than people on line.

While I know that, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask for some basic advice and tips. It isn't as though I am planning on following every suggestion I am given, just poking about for some info :)

Savy,

I'll throw my hat in the ring.

1) Horses are herd animals. Please plan on getting 2. A lot of problems arise when keeping a horse singly. Many do NOT tolerate it well and many dangerous behavioral problems can arise from it.

2) Saddle fit is best done by a saddle fitter. :)

My current costs on two:

Monthly Costs :
Hay - $180
Pelleted Feed: $80
Barefoot Trim: $80

Annual Costs:
Vaccinations - $400
Teeth Float - $300

** have an emergency fund. Either in cash or designated CCs. I keep 18k available on CCs to cover emergency expenses. You WILL have an emergency pop up.**

Random Costs this YTD:
Emergency Vet Visits - $2700
Used Saddle - $500
New Hay Nets - $40
Random Crap From Dover - $600
KWPN Registration - $585
Saddle Fitter - $80

Things Needed / Keep On Hand:
Fencing
Shelter
Cross Ties (or tie rings) (I have both)
Saddle(s) (I currently have 3)
Bridles (currently have 7)
Places to hang bridles and store saddles
Tack Cleaners
Saddle Pads (dont wanna know how many I have)
Polo Wraps
Girths
Bits
lunge line
Crops/Dressage whips
paddock boots & half chaps (i ride english XD)
Buckets
Water Tubs (currently have 2 100 gallons)
Metal Food Storage Containers
Hay (I have hay available 24/7. Yes, my 2 have pasture as well)
Hay Nets (unless you like watching your money get pissed on... literally)
Basic First aid kit
(Vet wrap, cotton, antibiotic ointment, scissors, gorilla tape, bute, dorm, liniment, diluted iodine)
Grooming Supplies
Fly Spray & Fly Traps
Manure Fork. Wheel Barrow. A plan for waste removal. (I compost :D)
Washing Supplies
Treats
Blankets / Sheets
Head Lamp (You have no idea how handy this has been)

I'll probably think of more things, and I will add to this if I do. :)

Thank you Jello :) We haven't looked extensively into the actual horse we may look at, as we don't even happen to have the property, nor are we for sure getting it. I'm sure we'd find a companion, possibly a pasture buddy, if we were to get a horse :)
