Article: Tell the owner if you want to buy their horse. Agree on a price, subject to vetting, and ask to put down a deposit to secure the horse. This will prevent the horse from being looked at by other potential buyers. The deposit is typically 10%-20% of the agreed on price. Well-trained horses can cost $1,000 and up, usually costing between $3,000 and $6,000. When negotiating, be prepared to pay the selling price, but ask if the seller will take a particular figure (10% - 20%) under the asking price. It may also save you to pay in cash and all at once, instead of in payments. Even if you are asked to pay for the tack, buying tack that you know fits the horse will save you time and energy. Many horse owners are more willing to give you tack and equipment or to transport the horse for you than to lower the price. However, make sure you have a knowledgeable horse professional check the tack on the horse first to see if it fits. Have a vet come and check the horse over before you pay the entire sale price. The veterinary visit will cost you about $300 to $600, but it can ultimately save you from buying a horse that can never perform how you want or that has an expensive health condition. It is always a good idea to make sure the horse is in good health before you pay for it. Additionally, a veterinary assessment is important because most insurance companies demand a health certificate before they will insure a horse. Pay the seller in full and sign the bill of sale and any other paperwork necessary. If you are paying the seller in installments, pay them what you owe at the time and make arrangements for future payments. When all of this is done, you own your new horse. Keep all the papers associated with the sale in a safe place where you won't lose them. They can be important if you want to sell the horse yourself or if you need to establish ownership for some reason. Usually a riding instructor or horse friend will haul your horse for you for a certain price. You can also hire a horse hauler or haul the horse yourself if you have a trailer. Before hauling your horse yourself review local law of transporting horses and see if your driving license endorsements will work for hauling a horse trailer. Many states (and even counties) will require a negative Coggins test and brand inspection before allowing you to cross their border. This test ensures that your horse doesn't have equine infectious anemia. Insure the horse before transportation. This is optional but definitely advised in case of an accident or problem with the horse during transit.

Secure these sections with Velcro rollers, rolling the hair from the bottom of the lock to the root. If your hair is wet, allow your hair to air dry with the rollers in place. Once your hair is dry, remove your hair from the rollers and brush out your hair. From here, lift your hair up at the roots. Use a brush or comb to lightly tease the end strands of your hair, volumizing it slightly and calling attention to your natural waves. Pull your hair into a low, loose ponytail. The hair should hang slightly taut with this look. Leave a small 2 inch (5.1cm) section out of the ponytail. Secure your ponytail with an elastic band. Take the 2 inch (5.1cm) section of hair. Wrap it around the ponytail, concealing the elastic band. Secure with a bobby pin. A half updo can work great for curly hair.

Wrap the scarf or bandana around your head, so it circles around your forehead and the back of your head. Twist a small strand of hair. Then, loop this strand around the bandana and scarf.
