ok..this girl has a horse that hasnt been ridden the last 10mths. Basically because it went through injury after injury etc (v. long story) ok and this girl has been riding for ehm 2 yrs and is not very experienced and this is her first horse.
The owner of the yard says she will re-train the hrose but it will cost her £1,500.00 which is about $2,200.00 for anyone else reading from over the waters!
Any suggestions? do you think there would be experience riders out there willing to help? or do you think its safer to get this horse professionally done? what else could she do with her hors ein the meantime..apart from the obvious thing to sell it which is what i would do becuase the horses probelms have been no fault of its own...
ehm yeh..how actually does a horse react to being ridden again after such a long break?? i rode a mare afte she was out of work for months because of pregnacy but the craziest thing she did was canter lightening round and roudn the jumping arena is was birllant ..but this horse is alot bigger and is a full blood thats all the girl has told me
dotn get me wrong though..this girl wont try this alone..im also just interested to knwo what oen would do...when a hrose at the yard where i ride went lame and was out of work for 2motnhs the owner just got back ont he hrose and took it for a walk aroudn a familiar route and the hrose was fine...didnt buck or flip out of anything...
