Person 1 - Female, 40. Plus sized. Rode casually, English, hunter (George Morris-style) as a teen, and then took a few casual lessons in her 30s. A competent advanced beginner with kind hands, but NOT a lot of bravery or confidence. Would enjoy w-t-c, pottering around, maybe a jump here and there but certainly nothing over, say, 2". Might walk bareback in a halter/hackamore to cool out, or just to wander. Wants to LOVE the horse - hand-feeding treats, lots of attention time even if they don't ride. No desire to show or even move up to a higher skillset (as in, has no desire to become an "advanced" rider).
Person 2 - Female 60. Slim and tall. Rode extensively and terrifyingly as a kid (9-17) because she didn't know any better (unsupervised bareback races over a neighboring steeplechase route, jumping poles balanced on Volkswagens, jumping wagons) on an OTTB that had been entirely brain-fried and went 0-100 at the drop of a hat. Hasn't ridden in 40 years, and now totally into easygoing, drama-free, down-to-earth, mellow. Wants a horse that can be left in the field for weeks, dusted off, and walked calmly around on a loose rein. But maybe, with a little more practice, getting a little fancy - very low level dressage, perhaps?
