Not at all boring. I completely agree with the "well trained, mellow gelding" method of training a young horse, as well as the approach of exposing them to as many sights and sounds as possible. Also, when we first learned to drive, the teacher commented that the worst possible scenario is "a green horse, and a green handler", so I also agree that someone getting their first horse would really benefit from some sort of learning opportunity from an experieneced person. While there is a temptation to sell any horse that you have a buyer for, I wonder if anyone thinks that the seller has any responsibility for not creating that "worst case scenario" by selling untrained animals to inexperienced people?
