I am looking to buy my first horse and I really need the details on how to take care of a horse(Tennesse Walking Horse)

Ex:
Feeding
Grooming
Vet
and etc.

Thanx for all of your help.
I just want to the know the basic necessities that I can begin with that I don't really need right away. I have a place (a ranch) were I can keep my horse for free and I will take care of it everyday myself. So i just need to know how to take care of it and what I really need.

Kari asked:


the Western classes. The English lessons, which I take and love already have horses ready to go so I am not able to learn how to put tack on or groom. They don't even offer it as part of the lesson. Do you think it's worth it to learn both styles of riding so I can learn how to take a horse out of his stall, groom and saddle up?
