I really like this horse, but IDK if he is too much for me. I don't know what is considered green, or broke, because so many people consider it differently. My trainer puts me on him and says he will be work, and that I'm a confident rider that can handle him. He's 5-6 ish, and hasn't been ridden in years. I know NOTHING about training a horse, and can only afford lessons on him, not board, expenses, AND training.
I'm going to get a video of us riding tomorrow, will you guys tell me what you think about us? How far along he looks, and what kind of horse I look capable of? I ride tomorrow at 2:30 pm, so I'll have a video up around 5:00 pm.
I've always heard green on green is terrible---but what is green?! I would call myself a VERY confident intermediate rider, I am not the best, but I know what I'm doing. I have no idea what to call him, some days he is great some he isn't.
I want my first horse, and I love him, but my heart is torn on if this is it or not.
