Buying a horse, do I have unrealistic expectations

So so exciting!! I love that he is called Boris!

Just to add, I bought my first pony as an ex-RS pony, she was really quite bitter about the whole school thing and took a bit of work to get her through it, but at no point was she ever dangerous and we went on all sorts of adventures! Fast forward a few years and she was quick off the leg and schooling like a sweetie.

I'm sure your lad will be fab!
