Yeah, I'd like to mix things up a bit and try new stuff. I don't know whether I'm throwing myself into the deep end though by going to a big working yard. Thank you for your help :)

Personally, I would take it step by step. Don't rush anything because like you said, if anything goes wrong it will knock your confidence. Try a small cross pole or cavaletti and lunge him over it. This way, you will gain confidence in yourself and your horse. Then when you decide to ride him...

Thank you!

I'm stuck between Bishop Burton and Myerscough and I have no idea which one I want to go to. I was really keen on going to Bishop Burton because of their reputation and facilities etc. but they don't take on horse below 5 years, so now I am thinking more towards Myerscough because they have a...
