Spot on. We got a lot of help from my daughter's trainer from whom we bought the horse. she may not have rocketed through the levels on him but he was safe despite being young and in my book that's worth a lot. Tbh with a better, more experienced rider he would have progressed well as he was not without talent but he was a forgiving sort. When she went to uni I was very tempted to keep him for myself!In support of this, I have a couple of friends whose teenagers have been bought a young horse to move onto after ponies, but the young horse has spent a year or so being produced by a professional before the teen takes over...
Much more expensive way of doing things, but at least the right buttons are being put in place.
