Just read through the rest of the thread and wanted to say I'm glad things seem to be getting sorted!
I totally overhorsed myself with my first one - I bought a 4 year old, having been told he was 7 - there was a LOT to undo there which took years, especially as I was learning alongside him! Yes I was extremely naive and it wasn't at all the ideal situation, but I wouldn't change it as I learned so much and made a great bond with my horse.
Also just seen that you're from the same county as I am, so if you need any recommendations for farriers, vets, instructors or whatever just drop me a message. Good luck with your lad and hopefully we'll see more pics of him soon!
Thank you. Yes I seem to be on my way! I've found a vet I like, got the farrier on recommendation and same with the saddler so I think I'm sorted but thank you, I'll keep you in mind for if I get stuck!
