Hi
I am not a horsey person but for some reason my children are.(don't get me wrong I love them - just don't ride - never have) I have tried very hard to help my children develop their hobby - they have been riding since they were 4/5 and last year I bought them a pony which is stabled locally. Now it seems it is time for them to have a horse each and we are looking for something for my 16 year old. She wants an all rounder - but mostly wants to jump. We have been looking at around 2000 pounds and there do seem to be a few that she could bring on.
The question is am I making a mistake - should I be spending more. She is convinced she could bring a horse on - they have been diy at the stables for a year and I don't help them - they do everything. I am just not sure that I wouldn't be better off getting her something with a bit more experience. What do you think? Any advice greatfully received.
Thanks
Nuala
