hi, as per title really,
I'm nearly ready after loosing my heart horse to purchase again and I came across a nice horse on a rescue centre. he is unbroken pound rescued with a sweet personality easy to handle etc (as per ad)
But I have never, nor do i know of anyone who has genuinely gotten a rescue horse (rescue dogs yes, is it similar?!)
what can anyone let me know-
was training any different?
did it prove very difficult with all background issues (I am experienced we have always bred and broke our own so this wont be a first and plenty of support, but slightly different I'm sure breaking a home bred who has never know hardship compared to a rescue case)
was there anything you wish you knew before?
Any info would be great as I said only browsing atm so allowing time to fully make up my mind and ensure i can offer the best home to the new horse
