Buying & Supporting a New Horse: The Essential Guide

Your roadmap to choosing wisely, building confidence, and setting yourself up for success.

Buying a horse is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. Unlike other hobbies, the stakes are high—your safety, your finances, your confidence, and the welfare of the horse. Too often, people buy with their heart, miss the warning signs, and end up stuck, stressed, or unable to progress.

Your Step-by-Step Framework

This is why Dr Shelley Appleton created Buying & Supporting a New Horse: The Essential Guide. The book gives you a clear, practical framework to make smart decisions, identify the right horse for your situation, and spot red flags before they become costly mistakes. It highlights what to look for, what to avoid, and how to make choices that set you up for safety, confidence, and long-term enjoyment.

Checklists That Keep You on Track

To make the process simple and structured, the book also includes detailed checklists—so you never miss a step, skip a question, or overlook a crucial detail. These tools ensure you can apply Shelley’s advice with confidence and consistency when horse shopping.
