I guess... The more I think about it there probably is a market for people like that, for people who don’t have time to get the horse in good shape to be sold, that’s why they want to sell. I just thought it interesting that she felt skilled enough to advertise herself as a trainer, but would reject horses who had behavior issues.
Well, there’s a difference in sharpening up the skills of a basically good horse as opposed to trying to break the long-set bad habits in another one. Even the trainer that I use, as good as he is, won’t do that. It’s too dangerous and if you got hurt, what little money there might be in it would definately not be worth it. I could probably handle the former, but wouldn’t even try to attempt the latter either.
I’ve often wished I could hire somebody to ride all mine several times a week, just so they would stay in decent enough shape to handle the kind of riding that I like to do, but alas, I’m not made of money. It sure would be nice if I could find some kid who just wanted to ride and would do it for free, but I don’t think they make kids like that anymore, or their parents would sue you into the stoneage if anything happened to them, or something like that. :-/
