Just talking to my friend and she tells me she having problems with her new horse. He keeps bucking and rearing. But she turns round and says "hes a TWO YEAR OLD". She only brought him because he was cute. And this is her FIRST horse! Any thoughts? I cant say much at the moment, bit gobbedsmacked

Touch wood FanyDuChamp, sadly she wont listen to me as her MOTHER backed her up on buying this said horse but ill give it a shot
 
And what sort of reason is 'cute' to buy a horse. Yes we all think our horses are cute, but this is after we've made a decision on if its the right age, breed, temprement, hight, exoerience to do the job we're buying it for. And I would never dream of buying a horse without taking an experienced, trusted friend to view it. Who, in that situation would have advised not to buy!! Yes, I had an unbacked 2yr old as my 3rd horse but i'd been riding since I was 8, and had been to equestrian college!!
 
This is also the problem i think shes 9-10 :S. But as a 13 year old I dont want to be too mean on her if you understand what I mean?
 
Yeah, I understand your problem.
Does she have any help from an instructor? Maybe she could get some advice on groundwork that she could be doing until the pony is a year older.
