I am doing a lease soon and I have a few questions in general and about owning or buying.
1. What is a good online used tack shop?
2. Any cool recipes for horse treats?
3. Some websites for tack in general. (I know Dover and Stateline and Victory Canter but any more?)
4. Should I show and what are the requirements for Hunter? (Yes I am experienced and have been riding for a while and would love to try to show but what are the requirements for a schooling and regular show?)
5. How do sign up for 4-H in your town or city?
7. I still have quite a bit of time before I go to college and so I was wondering what I can do in advance to become an equine vet? I know do good in math and science but what can I do when I am not in school?
8. Best part to owning a horse?
9. Best way to spoil your horse without it being a bratt basically being a good owner?
10. Is there any website where I can post a wanted add for tack? If so what and how?
Thanks for your time!
I appreciate it a lot!

11. What is the average size of a saddle for a 15.2hh Appendix? English saddle!

8. owning the horse :]

11. it really depends, because you also have to make sure it fits you.
try this website for fitting:
http://www.wikihow.com/Fit-a-Saddle
im not too familiar with the breed, but i think you’ll need a wider saddle.
