I am going to try a potential new horse tomorrow. I know the people very well, they are really into the dressage. The owner of the dressage horse has a 17year old-ex dressage horse-medium level. She loves him so much, but was going to put him down this year or next, because she has got youngsters being broken and doesnt want him to go to a home that will abuse him. I literally want a horse to do prelim dressage test with, nicely schooled, and he sounds perfect, bit worried about his age, but he is sound as a pound!
I have a few horses before, like my first horse etc. But now I can ride properly (walk, trot, canter, jump etc) what should I do to try him out? I really want a schoolmaster. So just do basic schooling, outline in the school? The three gaits?
any advice would be great!
