Update: thanks to all who have posted comments! Can folks please PM me instead (or in addition) - it is getting hard to keep track of all info in comments! TIA!

ISO of next mount for young rider focusing on dressage. Must haves:

Between 15h - 16.2h
At least 5 YO
Good brain
Good ground manners (farrier, loads, trailers, etc)
Sound, good gaits and quality canter
Experience off farm (ideally show or show atmosphere, discipline unimportant)
Good to hack out alone or with other horses

Additional notes:
Breed and gender not important
Needs own motor, not looking for hot but no push rides
Green ok as long as good temperament suitable
Some experience jumping a plus but not required

The closer to central NJ the better
Budget low 5s beginning with a 2

Excellent pony club home!

6 YO 16.3 German Sport Horse Gelding, BN level eventer

Both available for on-site half-lease, or on-site L to P in Central NJ. Outright ⛵️ also considered to the right fit. Videos in comments, PM for details.

ISO two equines for clients:

Pony #1: Kid-safe, all-around pony with show experience (preferably eventing)
Prefer a more forward ride that loves to jump, provided it is safe and correctly schooled. Capable of jumping at least 2’9, and has changes (doesn’t have to be auto)
Ideally 13-14h, but would consider smaller for a perfect fit, s*x and breed not important
Must have excellent ground manners
Budget for L 10 carrots, purchase twenty carrots, if P, age range 8 – 14 YO.

Horse #2: Horse for an AA seeking to learn to jump
Horse must be safe, excellent ground manners, good all-around, but with established english training (discipline unimportant). Must have experience and be quiet off farm. Capable of jumping at least 2’3.
Age range 8 – 14 years.
Ideally 15- 16h, slight preference for a gelding.
L or P, L to P option would be big plus. Budget $20 carrots.

Bit of a mixed bag today- fez was fantastic for his move up to novice, but in a bending line )’(not pictured here) on XC my stirrup broke 🤯, and I fell off 🤷‍♀️ here are some of the highlights before I hit the ground- we’re both ok and will be back to fight another day. I think I saw that the show photographer was shooting the combination. I fell on- so stay tuned for possible fall sequence photos upcoming!
