Putting the best hoof forward

Putting the best hoof forward

If you’ve got any kind of furry companion in your household, you’ll know that purebred animals don’t come cheap.

Horses, however, can take this to a whole new level: the equestrian industry is a very valuable one, and regardless of whether you’re looking for the next Grand National winner or a child’s pony, you should expect a price tag that goes into the four-figure region and beyond.

Choosing the right animal is vital, but it’s equally important for sellers to find the ideal home for their horse too. Fortunately, there are plenty of professionals and websites to help, such as Right Horse Right Home.
