New horse, How do you afford to buy?!

[ahlam1399]

Hi All! Strange question but Its always bugged me. How do people afford to put so much money down for a horse? I bought my lad for £2k on a payment plan because me and his old owner could see we were a perfect match. But how do people afford 5-10k horses?! Do you take out loans? save up for a very long time? How do you people do it?! :')
