   You'll need a halter and lead rope, shampoo, a currry comb, a hoof pick, buckets for feed, a soft brush, a stiff brush, a mane and tail comb, riding equipment if you're going to ride him, and of course treats! lol This is a basic list of must have stuff. You could probably wait on shampoo since it's winter, but come summer you'll need that and lots of fly spray. Oh and if he's clipped you'll need a blanket. Enjoy your new horse!

   Feeding and water:

   Water heater if you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures.

   Barn and Pasture Maintenance

   Pitch fork
   Stable broom
   Wheelbarrow
   Manure Fork
   Premise spray if insects are a problem

   Handling and Grooming

   Halter
   Lead ropes
   Hoof Pick
   Curry Comb
   Body Brush
   Mane Comb
   Cloth (an old washcloth)

   First Aid Kit

   Thermometer
   Antiseptic wound cleaner
   Scissors
   Clean Bandages
   Gamgee (absorbent padding)
   Zinc oxide cream (baby section of drugstore for sunburn grease heal and minor cuts)
   Salts (epsom to draw out infection reagular table for washing cuts)
   Antiseptic cream
   A good veterinary first aid book
   A list of emergency numbers (vet, farrier etc)
   At the very least a horse needs:

   Pasture free from hazards such as holes, rusty farm machinery and loose wire fences.
   Safe fencing such as wooden, plastic, or vinyl rails, or mesh wire fencing.
   Grass for grazing or equivalent amount of good quality hay.
   Unlimited supply of fresh clean water, heated if necessary in sub-freezing temperatures.
   Unlimited access to minerals and salt.
   Shelter from wet or wintry weather and shade in summer.
   A dry clean area to lie down.
   Daily monitoring for injury or illness.
   Companionship, either with another horse, donkey, mule or pony or another animal such as a sheep or goat.

   ******* HAVE FUN*******

   There's lots you need - basically you need a headcollar and lead rope, a grooming kit (you can buy complete ones), feed and water buckets, feed, rugs although you need to know what size. A basic first aid kit is also a good idea.
   I suggest you go to a good local tack store, tell them that you need everything for a horse and they will talk you thorugh all the different options. You also need some forage feed such as hay or haylage.
   Good luck and enjoy. Make sure you have someone experienced you can call on if you need help.

   If you dont know what you need you definitely shouldn't be getting a horse. There is A LOT to know about proper horse care. It isnt a simple as catching it, brushing it and riding it. Hopefully you come to your senses soon.
