My husband said , the "trainer " didn't really want to  work with him 
anyway, he had already trained 2  5 years olds this year said  it was too 
hard, (for him).


It sounds like you did the right thing for your horse.  In my somewhat 
limited experience, five year olds  are much easier to start than three year 
olds.  They are closer to physical and mental maturity.  The horse I had the 
absolute easiest time starting was a six year old thoroughbred mare that was 
barely halter broke.  She wa a delight to work with and learned very 
quickly.

Find a good trainer with lots of local references.  Sometimes an equine vet 
will know who is doing a good job in your area.
