I'm not a new owner or rider but i think this might be the best place for my question.
I keep a 7yo cob at home for general hacking, schooling, pleasure rides etc. He hates to be alone so I have always had a loaner here to keep him company. I have been looking after a retired horse for a while but he has now gone home. I want to get another horse/pony of some description quite quickly so mine isn't miserable. I am thinking of getting a youngster. I figure if I'm paying to look after a horse and spending time poo picking etc. it might as well be one I could eventually ride. I am thinking of a 14hh ish cobby type. I have never owned a youngster before. Will i be taking on too much? I would send him away to be backed.
Thanks
