Looking as to where to send pony for breaking?
im well aware im too early to really be thinking this but to bring her home i need approx 6 months notice in regards to finding a stable (no kidding...) we live in a really **** area for yards,...the brilliant ones are small and always full!
i plan to have pony broken early 2014 - she lives an hour away atm living out, happy as larry, i thought about bringing her back before that, doing a bit of ground work with her and then sending her away...but would it be better/easier send her away to a decent person just straight out the field (but with handling/loading/leading all ok) be easier for me to be totally honest - i just dont want to start long reining/lunging i assumed a breaker could do this?
How long (on average as i know every situation is different)! did your horses takes to be broken? (walk/trot canter and poss a small jump)?
Im also a little undecided as to which type of trainer i send her too? (Dressage/jumping?)
Shes bred for showing (apparantly
).... but i want to do dressage and some jumping
Ive heard *good* dressage/show jumpers charge £150-200 a week?? I dont have a budget for her education tbh i want it done properly so the person is way more important.
Im planning on spending 12 months on researching/asking around for breakers yards as I literally have no time with work so planning to visit schoolers starts in feb/march onwards when i get a chance as for the next 12 months i wont stop with work/other commitments - hence asking now and looking very ahead! Somewhere around Cheshire would be good but i dont mind transporting her further for the right person - shes 14.1 now and we recon 15hh max - so no superstar at all! but shes here for life so it has to be done right....hence pre break research!
thanks
