Hi, still a bit of a newbie but have found everyones post really interesting - great bedtime reading (how sad!)
Anyway I wondered if some of you would let me have your thoughts on the following, before I go ahead and take the plunge:
Think I have just seen my first horse, he is a 4 yr Appaloose gelding - I know he is still young, but soooo laid back, and def a novice ride as I am still not great and he was not at all spooky or flighty - although very nosey. Really sweet guy who seems to like being with us humans - was good on the ground not at all barge. Infact loooovely.
So my one doubt is his age - I'm kind of thinking that we can learn more together.. I will continue to have lessons on him and intend to hack out to build confidence and miles then start some schooling again for the benefit of us both.
Am I being naive or could this work out ....?
PS he would not be on his own as we are about to loan a pony for my daughter.
Thanks your thoughts would be greatfully received.
