Nope. Your daughter deserves a horse than can teach her how to do this. Even with this amount of years of lessons, I am surprised that her trainer is recommending such a green horse. She should have had experience learning to train WITH a trainer first, FOR YEARS, and then buy.
I bought my first herd of middle aged, been ridden and been there, done that horses. It was a wise move.
This purchase is going to be learning lessons the hard way.
I have read and watched videos and programs about international riders. Many of them learned to train, then did catch riding before they EVER bought their first horse, and most of those first horses were about 12yo and had been shown for several years. WB's are often slow to respond...and then, after being pushed Will explode bucking. That's about 2,000 pounds of bucking energy, unlike rodeo broncs who weigh much less.
Just some fyi.
Pass.
