You are absolutely right, Nancy.  For the person who already owns a horse, it 
pays to start with the horse with whom they are familiar.  That is a learning 
experience in and of itself.  Either that horse will do well, or there will 
be areas in which the new rider wishes to improve--in which case, the new 
rider (who is no longer quite so new) can go horse shopping in a far more 
educated way.
