[step] He will end up spending a significant amount of time and effort training you, and then you won't have to worry about taking your horse to the tack store right away. Once you get a horse, you might try buying the horse from him. [step] This will allow you to experience ownership without jumping into it unprepared. After a couple years of lessons and leasing, start shopping for an event horse with your trainer. [step] This is optional but is encouraged to do, because people get many inexperienced trainers. When you get your first horse you may become considered a horse rental/breeder. [step] Horses can get injured in the ring. Don't worry...it will be alright.
