Someone give me some advice please?

My horse has had a hard time with previous owners and he's come a long way with me, he's a completely different horse and has so much respect and trust for me. We have an amazing bond and I could never sell him. But I have this problem: I want to take my riding further, I want to do more dressage. My horse is almost 15 and finds dressage movements hard, I do not force him because I know he tries his best to please me. I don't have the money to keep and look after two horses and I would love to keep my baby. I can't retire him because he's still perfectly fine for trail riding and LOVES going for rides 4 times a week it's just the arena work that is hard on him.

He has previously schooled and competed Elementary dressage. I am 15 and I would love to take my riding further. I've been riding for most of my life and so I know what I'm doing. I want to challenge myself more and go further.

    Best tips are to keep your lovely little horse, and just have fun with him! And search for a local dressage (NICE) farm that you can take lessons at and maybe lease a really nice dressage horse to get somewhere?

    I wish the best of luck to you!

    Get someone to give you lessons on a different horse that can do the movements until you figure out how you want to approach things concerning selling your horse and buying a new one.

    Could you lease out or part lease your horse? Freeing up some time and money for another one?

    15 is no age really, does he have health/conformation issues? Obviously he wont go to top level, but I don't see why he can't do intermediate level...
