Opinions on this horse [=

Good luck, I think he's nice and I enjoyed the videos too :).

My TB span horribly when I went to try him and rode him up a track but I got him anyway and he's the best horse I've had.

Fingers crossed for you :).
 
Just sat here and read this thread right from begining to end...what a lovely person you are, OP, and a great rider.

At the end of the day time, love and fun is what will turn him around, not how much money you bought him for, what his confirmation is like or what any one else on here thinks of him.

I wish we could fast forward a year and see what you've done with him, I'm willing to bet you'll have as big a transformation as the lady with the bay mare =)
 
Fresh One!!! He'll get out of all that monkeying around with time and work. People don't realise about how horses out of training are ridden in a string in 90% of yards, especially in the UK so when they are expected to go on their own they panic...... this in turn gets treated as being naughty which it's not. He wasn't being nasty, he was confused. He'll be a super horse very soon and I wish you all the luck in the world with him!!
 
I too am in awe of the OP's sticky ar$e and calm humour filled quiet riding ability. I would say this horse has won the lotto in getting bought by you!

And for the poster who said' 'broncing in canter is never just naughtiness' please come and tell that to my 18 year old cob who has just developed this trait when racing his field mates!

I think you rode through it all in style and he will soon get the idea that his tricks mean nothing to you I'm sure!

Cant wait to see after pics in a few months

Good luck

we must have posted at similar times. the link I posted above you says at the end she wasn't something to SJ/event

No I don't think he will stand up to it (sorry)

I don't think its fair to judge the horse when he's clearly not fit and has no condition. You have to see past the horse he is now, to the horse he could become. You never know until you see how he progresses! He could turn out to be a very good event horse or he might not. Just think people shouldn't be so quick to judge.
