Answer
Hi Louise,
Well, first let me say good luck with this boy....and yes, do go right back to the beginning with him, exactly the right thing to do, work on bonding with him, and then start working with him.
It'll be long and hard, but worth it in the end! Also, make sure you get a full vet check done, and you are aware of any underlying health issues he may have. Make sure as well that you have a properly signed BHS loan Agreemenent, so that you, the horse, and his owner are all protected....make sure you know how much he will cost in livery ect, and exactly what you are
responsible for.
Good luck, and if there is anything else I can help with, then please do contact me.
