Jump of the porch and go do whatever you want. If it were me I'd put some feelers out for some riding groups near me and go to a couple of events (trail rides, team penning, whatever) to see if I could meet some new riding buddies. I also think you should start riding and patterning that four year old. You arent going to hurt him. Get him trotting & loping a decent pattern and then take him to a clinic or trainer for help stepping up. You are not going to ruin him, trust yourself a little.
My hubby keeps trying to encourage me to get on that 4yr old and pattern him too. I will say hes crazy athletic and a speed demon when he runs in the pasture playing. He tells me to have a little more faith in myself when it comes to training on one lol! I think I just need to get out of my own way sometimes. I dont think it will hurt that horse one bit to learn a little bit of everything. Hes got loping perfect circles down pretty good lol!
So how do you go about finding a person to go take lessons with? Word of mouth, which for me Is a little tough because I dont know anyone really, that's local. I'm in Central Texas, think Belton/Temple area... if I was looking for someone to go take a lesson or 2 or get more direction on barrels so I'm not completely overwhelmed at the thought. Maybe just getting out of my "arena" riding somewhere else under some direction will light a fire ...
