Question # 199: I have a young horse (5 year old ISH) with a trainer. He's really wonderful, but very ADD, herd-bound, pretty spooky, and somewhat insecure. In essence, he's just like me...
...My trainer is worried that the two of us will be a major disaster. I would love for this horse to be my next horse, but what do you know about personality quirks of people/horses? The horses I've done well with in the past have been "steady eddies", very calm (but alert), willing/eager to please, and VERY forgiving. Ammie friendly. SO--can ADD riders be ok with ADD horses? Or is this a situation where opposites really do better? (Becky)
Hi Becky!
I think that this is a really tough question to answer... as because your horse is so young (and being a warmblood, he could be still quite immature), he could change a lot in the next couple of years. I guess you have to ask yourself... (Click on Question Title above (in blue) to read full answer)
