You've mentioned that several times...that he was "certified" as suitable as a lesson horse by Gudmar. What does that mean? In what way did he certify him? I would never expect a seller to take responsibility for a horse's suitability as a lesson horse, in a kind of riding program he's not familiar with, or for any pursuit he's not familiar with. The owner should determine that sort of thing, after she/he has had time to get to know the horse. That Gudmar is 26 years old, and grew up in another country, in a dramatically different horse culture doesn't help. Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
