I would say you possibly do need a novice ride - I take it you want something quiet, non spooky, non bolshy on the ground and without issues? That's a novice ride....nothing wrong with wanting that

he was always extremly forward going to the point you couldnt use any leg .
but on the ground he was well mannered :}
so truly i would be bored with a plod
