Choosing a horse will be one of the most important decisions you ever make so for the sake of both you and the horse - take your time.选择一个马将是一个最重要的决定，使你如此，为了您和马-你的时间。

At 50 I was a bit older than the average first time horse owner, so should have got it right. 50我是位以上的平均首次马老板，所以应该得到它的权利。 I fell in love with a pretty little horse that I had ridden on a riding holiday when he was in his own environment and I was relaxed and had all the time in the world.我喜欢一个漂亮的小木马，我已充满了节日骑马时，他在自己的环境和放宽，我和所有的时间在世界上。

9 months later, after a lot of heartache I admitted that he was the wrong horse for my lifestyle and experience and fortunately he was able to go back to his original owner. 9个月后，在很多心疼我承认自己是错误的马我的生活方式和经验，值得庆幸的，他能够回到他原来的所有者。 Pretty traumatic for me, but less so for him as he was going back to where he was happy.美丽的创伤为我，而是那么对他，他回到那里，他很高兴。

Our livery yard owner helped me decide what type of horse I was looking for by considering the following:我国涂装院子老板帮我决定什么类型的马我一直在寻找的考虑如下：

1. 1 。 My horse riding experience我骑马的经验
2. 2 。 Who I would be able to ride with谁我能骑的
3. 3 。 The grazing, stabling and riding available to me在放牧，舍饲和骑马给我
4. 4 。 How much time I had for horse care and training多少时间我的马照顾和训练
5. 5 。 How much money I had to buy a horse and care for it多少钱我买一匹马和照顾它
6. 6 。 What size horse I was comfortable with and was sensible for me何谓大小赛马我过得很舒服，并是明智的，我
7. 7 。 Whether I wanted a particular horse breed or colour无论我想特别马品种或肤色

We decided that based on the above, a traditional coloured gypsy horse would be ideal and found Amy, a 5 year old ex brood-mare.我们决定，基于上述情况，传统的彩色吉普赛马将是理想和艾米发现，一个5岁前沉思，马雷。 She was road trained and gentle with lovely paces, but was oblivious to all the standard horse training commands.她是道路训练和温柔与可爱的步伐，但忘记了所有的标准马训练的命令。

2 years on I can't imagine life without her. 2岁的我不能想象没有她的生活。 She may not be the most beautiful horse around (though I think she is) and with a full time job to fit round her, she adapts to whatever horse care and horse riding routine I need.她也许不是最美丽的马约（虽然我认为她是）和全职工作适应了她，她适应任何照顾马和骑马例行我需要。 We have had a lot of fun improving our horse riding skills together and I hope that we will still be doing so for many years to come.我们已经有很多乐趣改善我们的骑马技能在一起，我希望，我们仍将这样做在今后许多年。

So step back and consider the above points before you choose your horse, as he/she will be relying on you to make the right decision.因此，退一步说，考虑到上述各点，然后再选择你的马，因为他/她将依靠您做出正确的决定。
