Whiling away the time before a work call. Would love to hear your stories and views on whether you've bought a made horse, or whether you ended up training and producing it yourself. Is this really achievable for a wobbly amateur rider? I'm loving the journey with my boy, but I do have the occasional day dream about what life would be like if I had bought that established schoolmaster I meant to buy. Instead I bought a just turned 5yo gangly thing who didn't know where his legs were, who tripped over poles, couldn't turn right and who, first time I ventured out, launched off the lorry, knocked me over and trod on my ankle! ...Actually, that's making me feel better about how far we've come as really that was the worst of it! Sine then he's been a poppet to ride, despite my occasionally jangly jumping nerves. I comfort myself with the thought that if I ever get to that dreamed of BE80, it's through a lot of my own sweat and tears. And those perfect schoolmasters often turn into hairy nightmares once they're in amateur hands!

Buy it or train it?
