I now have 2 (!!!!!) young horses who I need to send off for breaking/schooling this summer/autumn.
The key thing for me is I get the yard right. I think I have found the right yard for the palomino, he will probably go to someone I know in Sussex to be done in September.
The tb, however, I am not sure about - I don't want to send him to the Sussex yard as I know he is simply not this riders 'type' of horse, and I want him to go somewhere right. My gut is telling me to send him to an event rider.
Anyway - the tb (John Terry!) is a 16.3hh chestnut. He is a chunkier sort of tb, though he has dropped off a bit as he has been out of work for a year. He raced once as a three year old and broke down, now is ready to go - doing 1hr on the horse walker and 30 mins lunging after being in racehorse rehab!
He has not been sat on for a year until this weekend - we legged straight up and he was fine.
I really want him to be a little event horse type - he would be super, moves well, and is well put together for a tb. I want him to be the horse the Palomino was supposed to be before he busted his leg so wonderfully - something to hunt and do up to a pre-novice on.
I am happy for him to be in my field for a month or so and do ground work with him etc until I find somewhere, but I need recommendations. I know pure sjers or pure dressage riders, but very few event riders, and even fewer that do schooling/breaking livery. Would prefer up to 1.5hrs drive of Surrey.
Please help!
Thanks
