I need horse care help! I'm getting my first horse(s)!?

I've been around horses before, but am REALLY rusty on how to take care of them.The main thing I need to know is what kind of care they need, like shoeing, dental, shots (names, please!) and anything else that you think is essential for a horse to be healthy and feel good! If you know, please list the cost for those things (I'm writing up a yearly budget). Another thing, I will be getting another horse to avoid the other horse from getting lonely because I'm a student and won't be around all the time. How would you suggest I introduce them? I really have no idea. If you can answer any of this, please do! I would greatly appreciate it! =] Thanks a million!

The best way to introduce two horses is by putting them on either side of a very strong fence, like round pen panels or something similar. You don't want them to be able to get through the fence or be able to break through but you still want them to be able to see and hear each other. As for horse care... here are some of the routine things that need to be considered... *farrier work... shoes aren't a necessity unless you're working the horse very often or they live around lots of gravel or other hard surfaces like concrete etc. At the very least, a trim needs to be done every 6 to 8 weeks. *veterinary care... here's a site to explain all you need to know about the vet's involvement in your purchase: http://www.horses-and-horse-information.… *dental work... kinda falls into the vet care category... generally this doesn't need to be done more than once a year unless there's a problem. You might have to ask for it specifically but your vet should look at the horses teeth during the initial visit and they will be able to tell you how often the teeth should be serviced. *day to day care... if you're keeping your horse(s) in a pasture there isn't much day to day care except for during the winter. With plenty of grass growing in their pasture you shouldn't have to worry about grain unless you're riding more than twice a week, and hay is only really necessary in late fall and winter months. Horses kept in stalls obviously require more care such as daily grain and hay, maybe some alfalfa, stall bedding, grooming, turn out, etc. *wormers... EVERY horse should be wormed once every 3 months! All year round too! Especially horses kept in pastures! To make the worming process more effective, rotate wormers, and try not to use the same one twice in a row. *exorcise and grooming... if you ride often this isn't much of a concern. But horses kept in stalls, or left out to pasture for long periods of time without proper maintenance, can end up with matted manes and tails, bot fly eggs, chipped hooves, cuts and scrapes, rain rot, extra fat, and just about any other injury or infection you can imagine. A fat horse is an unhealthy and unhappy horse. And a dirty and mangy horse is also unhappy. Grooming and exorcise are important in keeping your horse happy and rider-friendly. If you don't have the time to brush your horse and give it a good look over at least once a week ask someone to do it for you.
