In this episode, Angie shares the real-life considerations that went into buying her daughter’s horse and the questions every family should ask before making the leap.

What We Cover in This Episode How to know when riding has moved beyond “just a phase” The difference between emotional readiness and financial readiness Why leasing first can be helpful, but isn’t the only path What parents often underestimate about horse ownership How to evaluate fit between horse, rider, trainer, and barn Why “waiting” can sometimes be the smartest decision What surprised Angie most after buying a horse Helpful Resources Mentioned 📝 Broke Horse Moms Planning Workbook A practical tool to help you think through goals, logistics, schedules, and finances before making big horse-related decisions. 👉 https://www.brokehorsemoms.com/2026 ☕ Support the Podcast If this episode helped you feel more grounded or less alone, you can support the show with a small contribution.

Leasing longer, waiting another season, or deciding not to buy at all doesn’t mean you’re less committed. It means you’re making thoughtful decisions for your family.
