This week I would like to discuss the topic of the green horse and the newer rider combination.  It seems far too often that newer riders romanticize the idea of pairing up with a green horse.  The idea being that the horse and themselves will both learn together.  This, in my mind, is a bad idea.  The combo of a green rider and green horse is one that will not benefit either party involved.  The horse will learn far too many habits of ill behavior.  The person will most likely end up getting hurt and/or giving up on horses out of frustration.

This week I would like to discuss the topic of the green horse (uneducated) and the newer rider combination.  It seems far too often that newer riders romanticize the idea of pairing up with a green horse.  The idea being that the horse and themselves will both learn together.  This to me is a very bad idea where neither party wins.
