I have had the privilege of owning Billy Castle for the last 4 years and he has given me so much enjoyment. Sadly, due to finishing my university studies and looming work he is now available to a knowledgeable 5* home.

Ernie is a true jumping machine. He is never spooky, brave and careful. This year he has only been lightly campaigned through no fault of his own but this summer has jumped d/c in all of his discovery classes. He has previously jumped double clears up to Foxhunter. With me he qualified for the amateur finals last year.

Ernie loves XC, being straight, adjustable and bold, yet never strong or silly. He has previously been double clear and placed at intermediate level and, with me, has achieved numerous placings at 100. He has 24 points but is eligible for downgrading to compete in the Badminton Grassroots series where he would be a serious contender. He would also be fantastic at 1*.

He is very well schooled with balanced consistent paces. He is schooled to advanced medium level. However, he doesn't enjoy being drilled in the school. He always produces a lovely, consistent test scoring in the twenties or low thirties, so doesn't require excessive schooling.

He is a dream to handle, easy to clip, shoe, load and catch. He hacks well in company and is good in traffic. He has had a quiet year through no fault of his own due to my masters studies. Ernie is very sound but does require some veterinary maintenance which is reflected in his price. This is very manageable and is an incredible opportunity for a competitive adult wanting to win which he would best suit. Home is the priority as this is a very sad sale. Would possibly consider leasing with a view to buy or possibly to the perfect home consider leasing him for the 2026 season. Please WhatsApp if interested.
