Where are you based, your best bet would be to pay someone who has experience of such things to come and evaluate him and help you concoct a plan for him when they have all the info and the horse in front of them. Different horses need different approaches and you will need to listen to a few opinions of him and then decide how much help you will need/want to help him achieve what you hope he can.
If you tell us where you are then people can recommend locally.
 
Hi, sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread but I am about to embark on this adventure too, so any advice from anyone is most appreciated!!!
My boy will be licenced with his current owner this year and I'll be getting him later this year so will need to grade him next year as a 3 year old! Dukescourt, hope everything goes to plan for us both!!!
 
Ooh new home Woodlander how exciting and not so far away now! See Kirsty East Anglia will become the new Cotswolds before long lol. All I need now is the green hills to up and move so I can walk my children and my ponies up them....

Polly btw ; )
 
Ha where are you then Polly?
I knew you said you were moving Woodlander that's great you are so close now! How exciting! Easier for travelling too that's for sure esp abroad! Great vets in Newmarket... yeah just need the green hills... Got concrete ones though, which is alright for walking I suppose but would be nice for some green ones to gallop up!
 
I am in South Norfolk, nearly but not quite rolling Suffolk and it is flat, flattetty, flat flat. I was in North Norfolk which was so far from anywhere I forgot that existed after a while but now am nearly in the outside world(can you tell I am not from round here lol).
And yes I have a great vet who comes from Kings Lynn but also very close to Newmarket which is good too.
The sad thing is my children are very used to it round here and think that the tiny geographical hiccoughs hereabouts are real hills and there is nowhere you can teach them to ride properly up a hill learning to canter and stuff.
