The horse I am mentioning is rather backward, but in amongst all that
coat and stubborness, he could be ok for a novice but if he is left too
long he will be no use to anyone

I disagree. While he is not being "messed with" then he is not going
backwards.

Well he aint going forwards either, I look at the bigger picture if he is
lucky, he will stay there as a garden ornament. If she falls on hard times,
and that is a possiblity his future could be grim.

Anyone with the skills to back a horse properly can take him on without a
problem
A cleanish slate at any age is much better for any decent trainer than
something novices have been messing about with.

Agree if you have a decent animal to sell on, and possibly get a break even
return, this is not going to happen here, you would have to spend a fair few
amount out dosh to have this horse schooled just to sell it and make a loss

Any good training he has had will still be there but he has had less
practise developing bad habits.

Young horses tend not to be stubborn -- that tends to be "I don't
understand, you[whichever human is present] do not have the skills to
teach me".

Oh he is stubborn, I have seen him plant himself if he has had enough,
alhtough to be fair his schooling has left something to be desired and it
takes quite a while for the schooling to sink in. Like I said he needs
something doing fairly soon
