Earl has the potential to make a really lovely fun all rounder for a confident experienced and patient rider, I believe he would also make a nice mother daughter share. He does however get irritated at kids being silly around him so he wouldn’t suit being a family horse with young children.
He is NOT a child’s pony or a novice ride.
Earl has been with me for the past 9 years. During this time he has had KS surgery and PSD surgery to his hind legs. I took a lot of time rehabbing him through this, his KS surgery changed his life for the better. Earl will not wear back boots, this developed post surgery. He doesn’t actually need to wear back boots so the stress that it causes him is very unnecessary.
Ridden - Earl would make a lovely little project for someone. He went for schooling post surgery to Sophie Seymor, he really enjoyed the variety of work with Sophie and came back absolutely amazing ready to progress with his schooling further.
Unfortunately due to my lack of time he has been out of work for around a year, he is now unbalanced in the school and needs a confident, quiet, experienced rider. He has no malice, but he does let you know when he’s finding it difficult.
Although Earl has spent the majority of the year turned out, he was absolutely foot perfect when I dragged him out for a horsey holiday around Delamere September 2025. He was perfect on the roads, past livestock, we even ended up on the Gruffalo trail and riding under zip lines - I couldn’t fault him one bit. We haven’t hacked solo for a while but he does hack alone or in company, he just needs reassurance from his rider.
I also recently broke my wrist ( not horse related ) and still hacked him with my arm in a cast, he was perfect.
During Earls time with me, we have been on plenty out outings. He travels like a dream and there is an easy knack to loading him. We’ve been to arena hires, somerford farm ride and of course our holiday. He also traveled amazing for the 5 hour journey to Sophie’s yard.
On the ground - Earl has amazing ground manners, he is very easy to handle and will stand for a chat on the yard all day. He loves to be scratched, he dishes out kisses all day! He is very clean in the stable and has no stable vices.
Earl is a very good boy to clip, for the dentist, for the farrier. He is up to date with everything.
