...for a 16 year old capable rider.
The rider is capable though not professional. Has little interest in showing, but lots of interest in the horse, at least as much as the ride. When I look at ads, the risks of being "taken" loom large. The 16 year old will become attached immediately and there's no going back.
Also, of course, how to find a suitable barn to board, though that is less difficult to plan out how to do. Any ideas, suggestions, stories, etc. will be welcome.
And I know there are things like have a vet see it, and all that. Books?
