The jury is well and truly out on the apprentice Corver. All over heels throughout. Not ideal. It's not car racing, these animals don't have bumpers, seriously dangerous
Maybe better coaching is required before they're let loose. There's too much at stake to be saying "they're just a kid, give em a chance". People's lives and horses lives are at stake here @Diva.
Maybe I'm asking for too much, but I expect to see a more careful rider than what we see from apprentices when they start out these days. Go back a decade or two... the kids starting out would barely have got a ride until they were really as ready as could be.
They'll make mistakes and thats how they learn but being all over the back of horses and going into non-existent gaps must be coached out of them before they hit the track
