By Marie Parker


A lot of people love horses and this is because they can see many benefits from owning one. But there are also some who see a lot of disadvantages of this, but these are often hidden by passion. And indeed, having the passion can really cover up the major flaws which come along with owning a horse. So in this article, you will know about some of the cons that people are considering.

Costs. You might really love to own one, but however, you will surely not love it upon knowing the big holes in your wallet that would come along with it. Horses are usually sold separately with the necessary accessories. Some of these would include brushes, reins, buckets, and saddles. You may see look at some horse photos for checking other needed accessories.

Aside from the mentioned accessories, providing them with veterinary care, food, and shoes is also very important. And thus, buying only one horse only already takes much amount of costs. Sometimes, these animals cannot avoid to have fractured legs or arms because of some reasons. These can possibly be deleterious to them if you do not have enough budget for the treatment.

Time. It would be very important to care for them all the time. Showing care would mean that you provide a time to clean their coat, change their bedding, to ride them as a way of exercise, brush their mane and tail, remove the feces and dirt from the hooves, and feed them. Summing up these tasks would take about few hours to finish.

Smells. Just like humans and some other animals, foods that they have taken will come out always in the opposite side. Their manure is quite smelly and aside from that, it will attract a number of flies. These flies are a nuisance most especially if the horse is going to react to them. With this, the flies can possibly decide to go into you as well.

Training. Mostly, horses will undergo some needed trainings. There are some who would spook easily and others are engaging into some bad behaviors. These are the unwanted bad behaviors that are usually present and noticed in most adult horses. For sure, most previous owners will never inform you about the attitude and because, fixing this will really be difficult for you. Seeking help from professionals can be the best solution.

Health issues. There are times when horses would encounter some health problems such as those minor ones or those serious issues that can be life threatening. Hooves are the most common shelter for parasites, thus, these must be checked regularly. To administer routinely the vaccines must be considered and also preventive care. Preventing colics may be hard or impossible at times.

Attachment. Being attached is really not a disadvantage and this is because you were able to win a price of owning one. Most owners get attached easily with this four legged animal, most especially if they have great passion for it. However, life changing events cannot be avoided in which owners cannot keep them any longer.

As a conclusion, to face different disadvantages is really possible in spite of being passionate. But in fact, to have the passion can overcome and eliminate the cons. Having the cutest grumble and being intelligent is what most people love about them.
