Well I can see why if you didn't ask for you friends opinion then it has come as a bit of a shock when she volunteered her it. Of course it is always easier to give advice from the cheap seats!
Would putting Murf out on loan to the 'draw reins woman' be an option? In that way you would retain some degree of control?

She won't consider loaning as she says she had a youngster on loan before for a couple of years and then the owner took her back. She is being quite pushy about wanting him which puts me off to as I did say I would consider it and let her know after the weekend.
I am hoping that a girl I know might have him now which would be good

Tell her a definite no and keep looking, there is always another way.
It is a compliment though that someone is so interested in her - even if you're not interested in the person! Good luck x

I would definitley not sell. This is why its so hard to part with horses, because you never know what is going to happen to them. There are plenty of good people out there, its just finding them. And i do think (hope) attitudes are changing about how to train horses

NO NO NO NO!!!!! draw reins are the invention of the devil and I personally would NOT ever sell a horse to anyone who rides in them, schools in them or uses them for anything!
Sorry just my opinion I hate and loathe them with a vengence

She also said she'd sign a contract to say that if she ever sold him I'd have first refusal but I'm not sure how much good that would be. If you mean, 'would it actually let me buy him back', an option to buy back should be enforceable, provided terms are clear and agreed by you both. You may have problems in practice enforcing it, though - if the seller doesn't inform you he's for sale (which they should be obliged to do under the terms of the contract) you may not discover until after sale and then have a third party involved and a claim in damages. Re. draw reins being 'usual', I'm not defending their use, but I do agree with Pony Nutt: until you know better, you're doing what you think is right. There's a lot of pressure out there to do what everyone else does. IH is a great community in which we all support one another in IH methods. I think sometimes I for one forget what it would be like without that, and having had like-minded IH horsey friends for encouragement and advice that we're doing it a better way!

I have turned down lots of people because of their ideas on training so stick to your guns.
