| Also a word of advice - DO NOT get on a prospective buy, ask the owner to ride them first. Don't just trust their word that the horse is sane. Keep in mind, if you chose to adopt or buy from a auction, that the sweetest horse can change attitudes once they're fat and happy.[/quote]
I agree with this one went through it when I first got back into it about 5 years ago .. So jumpergirl can learn from my mistakes .I had the owner ride then my poor daughter get on if she was not comfortable on it I did not get on .. I can't afford to come off cuz of medical reasons, but of course my daughter didn't mind she rides anything , any age , she loves a challenge. she is taking a pony that she has trail ridden about 3 times (4 this Sunday) to HSS to teach him how to jump .they can sure act different when they start feeling like a horse again.. |
