[QUOTE="born2run, post: 251476, member: 2498"] Alan... Neglected to say that he's a horse that is being boarded at my instructor's stable. I've had two lessons on him prior to this ride and had no problems. I was anxious to get him out onto trails and into surroundings he had never been in. He does have a hefty price tag (at least for me) attached to him, and I wanted to make for sure that I was getting something I'd be happy with. He was never on those trails until yesterday, and I put him in different positions then, from being in the front of 4 other horses to being dead center with one right on his tail. He never flinched at any of it. I feel like I have a pretty open door to return this horse if he doesn't work out, but that would definitely be something to work out prior to taking him home. Thanks for the advice! His board is payed up by the previous owner until the end of August, so I figured I'd take the "free" board and get some more lessons on him prior to him coming home. I agree there is no such thing as bombproof...I wrote that and immediately wondered why I had did it. Evidently not enough to edit though. :roll: What I'm saying is that he was excellent for a 6 year old. Slowed a bit for a bridge, but than my heart was pounding hard too. I've never rode a horse across a 30 foot plank bridge before, and I think I was as scared as the horse. I'll definitely get those pics for ya Alan. I'd like him evaluated. :) [/QUOTE]
