"Ernie: hardworking, reliable schoolmaster for lessons, hacking, and hunting" Bay Gelding Schoolmaster

Ernie 🤎 A kind-hearted, experienced schoolmaster for group lessons, hacking, and hunting 🤎

Ernie is a 15.3h 11yo bay Irish cob gelding with a hardworking, sensible personality

He loves to work and would enjoy staying in consistent riding. He is slightly ‘more woah than go’ without needing a stick or spurs, and will keep himself going. He is not lazy or a kick-ride.

Ernie is excellent at jumping small cross country jumps and 70-80cm courses. He is careful, very honest and steady, and unphased by amateur riding.

Ernie has years of experience with a variety of riders. He has been ridden western, in dressage tack, bareback, and knows how to pull a carriage

Ernie likes hacking in groups and happily leads or follows. He is quiet going new places by himself, around traffic and cows.

He is happiest on a loose rein, and will remain in a steady trot or canter rhythm without getting fast or heavy. He is never spooky, bold or fresh and genuinely aims to please his rider.

We think due to his consistent work ethic and outgoing, friendly personality, Ernie would best suit a family with many riders, a riding school looking for a steady canter/cross rail teaching horse, or a riding club adult looking for a trusty partner.

Ernie has no prior injuries, lumps, bumps, or scars. He is very well mannered for novice or older people to handle, polite to shoe, load, clip, tie, plait, catch, etc.

He has hunted in the past and been cross country schooling

Ernie is open to any vetting
