Following on from a couple of discussions recently, I'm curious to know how people have got on who have bought horses with little or no previous riding or horse care experience and no established support system (or who have witnessed similar).
I'll admit it was a bit of a surprise to me how many people buy horses - often young/ex-racing/competition horses - after, for instance, a few months of lessons or having ridden a bit as a child, and having no previous horse care knowledge.
I know how we *think* this often works out and i can judge by the situations I've seen, but I'm interested in the wider experience
