I am looking for a part loaner / sharer for my boy. 14.1. 14 years old. Solid and strong. He is kept at home in Martin (15 minutes from Fordingbridge. ) This could also be just a rider agreement.

Don’t let his size fool you. He is small but mighty. He needs a calm confident assured rider who will hold his hand if necessary. He will throw in the odd spook. And doesn’t like a rattling trailer going past him.

Absolutely no children or novices. He is too strong and not suitable at all. He will throw shapes or the odd buck if he is excited. So a good seat will be necessary. It’s not malicious - he just needs the exercise. Once he is in a more regular routine, this will calm down. He is good on the ground. Very charming and loves a good fuss and a groom. He lives for food and will sneak a snack on a hack when he can.

He has an active brain and is better in work and to be kept busy. So ideally he needs ridden work at least twice during the week. He is available on a Saturday also - obviously at the moment during daylight hours. We have miles of hacking next to us on Martin Down.

He does have another rider on Sundays during winter - who will also ride more during summer - we can work out weekdays between you both when we have more daylight.

He works a nice dressage test. We can lunge in the field here at home and long reins well, out locally. Opportunity for lessons close by with two excellent local instructors.

A trial will be required to ensure you are a good fit.
Financial contribution required.
Poo picking to be done on your ridden days.
Riders insurance required.
