Long Story...
My wife is the horse person along with my 4 year old daughter. I don't ride but I am interested in working horses. I have an opportunity to purchase a Canadian work horse. She is 16 years old and was teamed to pull a sleigh and wagon at the local museum. They try to retire their horses around 14 years. My daughter and i are somewhat attached to her - many great moments being pulled by the Canadian.
My question is (placing the horses interest first) how much time is needed to exercise her on a weekly basis? i can see her pulling a small sleigh and or wagon, moving some rock or wood around property. Winter months allow weekends only while summer months would have evenings as well as weekends for exercise.
Also, I will need training for commands etc.
Many thanks,
Lloyd
