Q. I am having lessons again after a 17 year break. I really want to buy a horse, but I don�t know what to look for now that I�m a novice again. We live in France, and the language is making horse shopping hard. Any advice?

How nice to get back to riding after a long break! I feel that your best bet is to stick with having your lessons for a while so that you can regain your lost skills. If you get a horse too soon, you may find that after a short while, you want a more exciting ride but to start with, you will need a quiet horse that will look after you.

In the meantime, as well as honing your riding skills, you can improve your equestrian French! When you are getting more competent again, I am sure your instructor will help you find a suitable horse. Not only will she have the language skills, but she will also know what you need as a rider.

Horses, like dogs, are for life, so take your time and make sure you get the right one for you. As you live in France it seems sensible to buy in France, as transporting a horse from England is not only stressful for the horse but it is expensive.

And anyway, I am sure the locals will be happy to help and pleased that you are spending your cash in their region! Good luck with this exciting project!
