My coach is a very experienced, professional rider, she is making this horse for me, that is the plan.
I really don't need advice from strangers who don't know me, my ability or my horse, and suggestions that I shouldn't have bought him don't really help anyone.
I really feel for you, but honestly this really is not a fair comment. I didn't see anything here which was mean, just that some people feel that you made a wrong decision - we have all done that - I know that I have. To be fair you did ask for advice, and you also said "in the last week or so he's bolted twice." You later explained that is was not a real bolt, but you can't blame people for thinking that you made a mistake. To be honest it could reasonably be viewed that either it was 1. a bolt, or 2. something less serious, but an inexperienced rider interpreted it as a bolt. I do feel for your situation, and I am delighted that today you feel better, but do try to respect the views of those who have responded to your request for advice, even if that advice is not what you hoped to hear.
