Looking for a safe horse to share - Bristol/Malmesbury area

[ahlam1399]

Hi, I wonder if I can ask your advice please. My friend and I are looking to buy a horse to share - we’re looking at 15.2 plus schoolmaster type as I’m 5’9 and my friend 5’7 that is a really nice allrounder to hack, dressage and maybe low jumps (75cm). We don't want a kick along type, but do need it to be very sensible in open spaces and great to hack alone. We have just found a wonderful livery yard right on Badminton Estate and want to be able to enjoy a nice canter without fearing we can't stop or the horse will take off!! Also we need for our children to be able to ride it (supervised of course) so must be able to put up with novices!! Are we being realistic with what we are looking for or are we in cloud cuckoo land? Does anyone know of any such paragons of good virtue? We can afford around £4k for the right horse, possibly a bit more. We are based in Bristol and Malmesbury. We have literally only just started looking (had to wait till now for our husband's approval!) and are happy to wait for the right horse.Many thanks :)
