IMHO I don't think she would sell, even though an owner with much more experience would be beneficial for him, like someone said even after re-training he may be too much of a handful for her. I have advised her to stop trying to push him and go back to basics i.e lots of positive attention...

Also thanks for all the tips, i will pass the recommended names on to her tomorrow. As for the 15hh thats jumpy in traffic... Sounds great but I wouldn't take the risk. He/she would have to venture in traffic, i only want a light hack but I also have two children who I would like to ride at...

Yes I think she was a little impulsive when buying. I personally wouldn't buy unless I was sure that I could handle him/her

I do agree with all your comments. After seeing him bucking recently I know I am out of my depth. My friend however is determined to get him back on track, but then she is the one bonding with him. There is two very experienced ladies at the farm, one of which has offered to help but my...

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice from experienced horse persons :) Myself and my friend have been having riding lessons for a while and due to the expense we began to consider owning horses of our own. We are both mature (me 30, my friend 26) and after weighing the pros and cons...
