The Greenie We went to see the 4 year old gelding again. I do really like this fella and keep thinking of him often and Lauren seems to have taken a shine to him but he is so very green and has about ½ the training that I would like to have on a horse for her. I do need to take into account that she has been riding our 4 yr old draft mares that have no saddle training at all and a little over a year in harness. She isn’t thrilled about riding them but does do well under supervision putting the training into them. So do I take a chance on this horse? The one thing that really keeps drawing me in to him is his kindness and wanting to please attitude and the little training he does have is top notch. On the flip side he is a Tennessee walker cross and looks to have some gait and that narrow frame they tend to have. Lauren wants to be able to use him in 4-H and equestrian team as well as trail riding. I'm not sure if his way of going will have any impact on rail classes and he isnt as big bodied as I prefer but then again I dont have to ride him. I do worry that she might out grow him in 3 or 4 years if she continues to grow like she has the last couple years. He could fill out some as well since he is only 4. So many factors come into play when you get into a young green horse.I’m going to sleep on it for a few more nights
