Avoid Purchasing Pitfalls – Matching Horse to Rider for Health & Success

“When you watch the horse ridden and when you are riding before a potential purchase, there is a set of questions you should be asking yourself. It can be too much to be aware of all at once when you’re trying the horse, which is why gathering video you can refer back to is so important.” Dr. Sue Dyson

“Something I would change if buying a horse now that I did differently in the past, is that I would want to ride the horse first, before watching the horse be ridden by someone. I always want to get a true feel for how the horse goes from the very start, rather than after being prepared and loosened up.” Dr. Sue Dyson
