Thank you for all the advice. I think the conclusion is (and correct me if I'm wrong) that we should get a pony, trailer and all the equipment. We will then start to do a few be90s and be100s and proceed to PTs/Ns at the beginning of 2014 and hopefully get invited to withington and brand hall. Continuing competing through 2014 and repeat this in 2015 which will be her last year in ponies. Depending on her results she may not even get invited to the final selection process, she will however be having regular training and lessons which should help. On the other hand she could get on the European team and win double gold in her first year of doing PT and even get double gold the year after. Unlikely I know but it could happen. Either way I think I've came to the conclusion that its unfair putting pressure onto her and the pony. I really want to make her happy but the prices of this project are high. 20-25k. Hopefully the pony will be worth 18-22k after doing trials for 2 years and maybe even being a reserve for a euro team will push value up a bit. So could get a small profit (5-10k) or could end up losing 4k.
Please correct me if you disagree but this is the conclusion I've came from but I'm still willing to listen to any more advice you guys have?
