The Pre-Purchase Workbook: Buy Your Next Horse With Confidence

September 15, 20252 min read

Why horse buying feels overwhelming.

For every success story, there’s someone quietly admitting:

  • “I bought too much horse and lost my nerve.”

  • “The advert looked perfect, but it all changed once I got them home.”

  • “I rushed, because I didn’t want to miss out and now I regret it.”

Buying a horse is emotional. That’s normal. But without a clear process, it’s easy for heart to run ahead of head and that’s when mistakes creep in.

Why advice alone isn’t enough.

You’ve probably heard all the tips: ask lots of questions, take someone experienced with you, don’t buy unseen.

But in the moment - when you’re at a viewing or dreaming about ownership - it’s easy to forget what you meant to ask yourself.

The Pre-Purchase Workbook helps you slow down, reflect honestly, and make decisions with confidence instead of panic.

Buying checklists & prompts

What’s inside the workbook.

This isn’t just another checklist. It’s a guided workbook with:

✔️ Reflection prompts - “Why do I want a horse?”, “What kind of lifestyle can I actually offer?”, “Do I have the support I’ll need?”
✔️
A final readiness checklist - tick-boxes to confirm you’ve thought about time, budget, support, and walk-away points.
✔️
Journal prompts & space to write - so you can explore worries, hopes, and whether now is truly the right time.
✔️
Lisa’s hard-earned advice - supportive nudges and reality checks to keep you grounded and remind you what really matters.

Why it works.

Because clarity doesn’t come from guessing - it comes from writing it down, reflecting, and being brutally honest with yourself.

This workbook won’t give you “the answer.” What it will give you is a way to ask the right questions, in the right order, before you make one of the biggest decisions of your equestrian life.

For less than the cost of a lesson, you’ll have a resource that protects your confidence, your wallet, and most importantly - your horse’s welfare.

Final thought.

The right horse, at the right time, with the right mindset - that’s where the magic is.

The Pre-Purchase Workbook helps you figure out if that time is now, or if waiting a little longer is the kindest choice for both you and your future horse.
