Marie Buchan, who gets £26,000 a year in benefits, will reportedly spend around £3,600 a year on the animal.

The currently jobless mum of eight, who has previously worked as a stripper, has a budget of £500 to buy the animal and will then spend another £140 having it delivered and £70 a week for stabling and food.

Marie isn’t put off by her haters, saying: “It’s like buying a car, what’s the difference?”

She told the Daily Star:

“I want a horse and I’m going to get it. I’ve wanted one for a long, long time – since before I had the kids.  I’m going to ride it. I wouldn’t mind getting a horse that needs breaking in, more as a challenge than anything.  The haters are going to hate, I know they are. But I grew up around horses and now it’s time to have my own.”

  • Just hope she realises how much looking after they take. In the winter before getting the kids ready for school she’ll need to go and muck out and see to it. it’s not like having a cat!!!!!

    Why is it wrong in the girl having a horse, it will be good for her children and for her, why do people back bite this woman, she wants a horse and so what nothing wrong with that. Problem is with most people is that there stuck up there own ass running people down.
