The horse is a mix breed. but not sure what types of breeds. I used to work as a volunteer at a stable for 5 years, but that was years ago. so basically i don't remember much about horses than i used too. She also said that the best time getting a horse is when its very young, plus she said that its expensive to buy a horse when their older. Is it expensive to keep a horse?? Can you guys give me some advice!! Thanks!!
