Desperately seeking someone for riding/schooling my friesian

[Walker1]

I'm having difficulty finding a rider/ share for my horse located in Abridge, Essex. I have a 41/2 year old pure bred friesian gelding. He is 16.3 doesn't buck or rear, canter is becoming more and more collected. Bold and powerful trot! I'm looking for a confident rider to come and ride few times a week, there are no yard duties
He is well behaved out hacking and in the school. Has amazing powerful paces both father and grandfather were Grand Prix stallions. I'm bit busy at the moment for lessons and need someone friendly, kind and confident with young horses to help with his training and schooling. He's a very affectionate horse, very calm and chilled for a youngster, always wants to please. Can be slightly nervy in new situations and new riders so needs an understanding capable rider.
We are on a small (8 stables) really quite friendly yard in Abridge, Essex with a lovely large menage and dressage mirrors.
Is anybody interested or know anyone that might be? Would really appreciate

Good luck

I've got 4 friesians (3 ridden) and recently found a rider through here.

lovely breed arnt they he's my first friesian, I hope im as lucky as you finding a rider!

I've had them for 12 years now and would probably never have anything else now but they aren't everyone's cup of tea and they can take some getting used to when just starting riding. It took me ages to find a rider so don't give up

 

[Walker1]

I know exactly what you mean! That's what makes it so hard lol awww thanks I'll try not to give up I nearly did before posting on here

 

[madlady]

Do you have a local RC that you could join - you might meet someone through that.

All of mine have been a bit 'nervy' with new things - default reaction has either been to spin and run for home or plant and refuse to move. I promise they do get better - my older mare is now pretty much a bombproof hack - I can take her anywhere and know that she is going to be fine. My 2 younger ones are slowly getting there as well.

Hope you find someone soon and enjoy your boy

Have you tried an ad on the board at Ingatstone?

 

[Walker1]

Mine can be a bit nervy with new riders he's perfect with me but what's so weird he can be perfectly fine with some other ppl almost like he's choosing his rider. All he does is move around a bit and then settles again.
Thank you so much lol I can't wait for when he's a bit older and we're past the testing ages all good fun though

 

[Walker1]

Thanks bluedanube I havnt I will give that a try too!

Unfortunately I'm just a little too far from you, otherwise it sounds just what I am looking for.

Good luck with your search.

 

[Walker1]

I havent got a fresian, but I do have a little cob who always needs more work, the MK side of Northampton, if you want something to ride
