Horse Help Please!

Skippy (brown) and Maveric (gray)

Skippy (brown) and Maveric (gray)

I don't know where to put this on this website and am having SO MUCH trouble with this problem...
Well...

My dad met a customer willing to give me one of his horses. They are both Appy males.

One is gray (near his rear it becomes really white) with black spots. I fell in love with him at first site. But some things have made me glance at the other. Apparently, MAVERIC, the gray with black spots, is old. 18. I hear it's a good enough age for a beginner rider, but... I'm not sure. He's such a sweetie, but his owner says he's very slow paced. And then he looked at SKIPPY. Skippy is the brown with white on his rear. I believe this is called a blanket? Right? Well, anyways, he said Skippy was only about 8ish amd is very fast paced. He's slow to get along with, but loves to run. Reason is because he's never been fully trained! Both Maveric and Skippy have been trained, but Maveric has more experience than Skippy. Trained in Western, I JUST switched to English.

Also, Maveric has gone to 3 shows and won 1st in all of them.

Sorry if this is mixed up but... I'm TRYING to not make it long!

P.S. I could sell them and then get a jump horse.
P.S.S. I ride English (as I said before) and do you think it'd be hard to train Western (for Maveric, since he's old) or what???

This is a huge decision, and the horses are coming soon. PLEASE help!!!

*watch a video of them, NO this is not my usual type of video, but still a video*

starstarstarstarstar 		okay so
by: Kaylee K :)

okay, can you get both of them?
if you can i suggest the older app could be a lesson horse via;training,expierence, and he's slow-patien
then you could get maveric. which if you want to show; he's younger (if he gets lame he has a shorter recovery peroid) and he's already won shows. i think i got that correct. anyways whats the point of getting them when you're just going to sell them and get a different horse? thats the LAST thing i would do.

You should go with maveric because your a beginner and he is already fully trained.

i think u should start off with Maveric because he`s more tame, until u believe your advanced enough get a more advanced horse/pony. hope i helped.

by: Horse helper

i agree with the person above you are a beginner and so is skippe he may be trained however he has not got as much experience as the gray. i think he is called mauve isnt he well pick him because he will teach you better and you will learn faster trust me i love horses and when i grow up i want to own my own stables and take part in events. I once had to make a decision like this myself. I made the wrong choice and picked the younger one . i thought that i would train him. i ended up breaking my arm!!!!!!
Pick the gray trust me
xxxxxxx

Your a beginner rider. A green horse and a green rider don't mix. The 18 year old horse, Maveric, is probably a better fit for you. Skippy would easily try something on you if you didn't have absaloute control. I know Maveric is 18, but that doesn't mean he's going to die right now. Surely he has many good years left. I own a 21 year old mare and she still has lots of life. She's a beginner horse too. She's old, but age doesn't always matter. I see people riding horses well into their 20's, even their 30's sometimes!

by: I say Skippy

id go with skippy, i do english rding too, if skippy is less experienced in the western, hed be easier to use in english, hes younger so he'll last you longer, and has a lot of time to be retrained if you decide to fully train him english, hes absolutely beautiful and because he is faster paced than maveric, he'll be soo much better for riding out and about (trail rides) if you ever wanted to do that :)
