I know you've heard this question a thousand times, but how to talk to my dad about a horse?

if you donl;t have the money now, you can;t aford one. wanting you rparents to shoulder the burden while you " help" is ridiculous. if you can;t afford a horse you can't afford a horse..$20 a week would buy coffee for the guy at the horse boarding facility who mucks out the stalls..
