Isa - do you have a strong back up system? You are very inexperienced with riding, never mind horse care and to add a youngster to that mix makes me really worried for you. I don't want to be negative - come here for advice rather than struggling. Some youngsters can be a walk in the park, some can really test us. Regardless, you have to have enough knowledge in place to be able to teach them.

Fides- I do, I do :). There are plenty of people at my agistment that would be happy to help, my parents already have horse knowledge and I've picked up everything real quick (surprisingly) and my instructor is definitely gonna help, she's the one who suggested it, she's done a lot of youngsters :). Oh and my sisters backed horses too, so she will help
Luckily, she's a really good girl and Ive managed to teach her a lot, but of course, I can't and won't do major work with her without guidance or on my own.

Got some photos with the camera! Not great but the weather is poor and she was getting a bit antsy (she had been tied up to brush for 15 mins without fussing, so that was really good)

(she did go black/chocolate in summer and now she's a chestnut colour, slowly gotten darker. She was born bright chestnut though...)

Tail colours the the stripe. Her tail is that orange colour through the ends.

Back of her right heel. It's mostly white there, not so much the front.

Her mane. It's two toned.

The two toned mane and tail - that's just a baby thing. Some breeders hog them when they are a few weeks old so it grows without the highlights. Some don't. My mare still has a two tone forelock as I have never pulled it and she is 6
