Answer 3

Congratulations! have fun with your horse. ummm just practice alot with your new horse. Learn his strengths and weaknesses. Spending more and more time with your horse will build up alot of trust. And just sometimes doing what your horse wants to do...such as a leisure trail ride, or whatever will also build a good friendship with your horse. haha...but if he is such a "high class" horse...that might not be an option :)
