Through serendipity I found a trainer that will pick up all three horses, bring them back to his place and assess each one for their fit for the rider I am. Its funny but when I made the decision, I felt kinda scared, maybe because it means a good bit of money or maybe I'm afraid not any of them can be the horse I need them to be. But we're gonna do this. Since he lives near where I work it'll be better for me than the gal who does training and lives close to where the horses are. Hopefully one horse will be a good fit I don't relish the idea of buying another horse nor finding buyers for the ones I own. A really nice thing is that the training includes me coming over 2x/wk to get training too. So in Mid-May, he'll have all three for two weeks and then we shall see what we shall see. This is his business, he's also on Facebook: www.airscentinghorse.com/natural_horsemanship.htm

That's wonderful! I especially like that his training package includes training for you too! The trainer I hired to work with Zena worked with me also, and I found that it was a huge help to have the trainer teach me how to ask my horse to do the things that she was taught to do in the same way the trainer taught her (if that makes sense). It also gave me some much needed confidence boosts when I was able to get Zena to do for me the things I had watched her doing with the trainer. Good luck, and keep us posted on the progress please. I'm excited for you!
