Subject: What to do next

In August I bought my first friesian. He is beautiful. He was backed in June and the vet aged him at 3 and 4 months approx in August when I bought him. He is easy to tack up and mount and moves forward from you leg to walk and trot, but to keep him walking and trotting I have to keep my leg on.

He is croup high and very foal like in looks and I have been advised to turn him away. Is this correct?

I keep him with my old mare who I can hack out twice a week, he is happy as larry to hack out with her with no silliness at all, but if I try to lead him out in hand he will not go any further if she is out of sight. When i take her out he neighs till she gets back.

I have two options as I keep my horses together (but seperate) in my own fields:
1. Stay as I am, leave Mac(friesian) till next spring/summer to grow and keep riding Blue.
2. Put Blue out on loan and turn Mac away till the spring, but keep leading him out in hand each week.

What do you all think? Is he too reliant on my mare and am I going to have serious seperation issues if I go for option 1?

I appreciate any help or advice anyone could offer.

Thanks
Zoe
