New horse, I have many questions!
I (/family) will be getting two horses at the end of this month. One is a 3-5 yr old rescue mare (NSH) who does not have previous riding experience that we know of. She is very sweet and seems to be quite submissive/eager to please. The other is a 19 yr old gelding (QH) who has plenty of experience under his belt (girth? lol).
The whole family would really love to have them both as 1000+ lb pets and be satisfied with that, but I am hoping to be able to start the mare under saddle. I have a decent amount of riding experience in multiple situations with lots of horses but never a green one and have never attempted training.
I have been watching a lot of Clinton Anderson, Missy Wryn, and various other YouTube training videos. Does anyone have suggestions? I can't help but think perhaps I am insane for deciding to try to work with this horse with as little experience as I have, but then I think there's a first time for everything, right?!
Side note; I would prefer to do bitless bridles so if anyone has suggestions for that please let me know. :)
Thank you so much in advance!
