Ernie is an 8 year old 15.2 hand 1003 lb grade gaited horse. Baby boomer safe. He is sound and level headed. No rear or buck or vices. I have owned him for 4 years and have enjoyed him so much. I am not the bravest soul and he gives me full confidence. Been riding 40 plus years and he is the best horse I have ever owned. His best quality is that he is not herd bound. He rather be with his human. He will walk nice and slow or gait or lope. He would rather lope and I love it. He will walk on a loose rein as you can see in the video. When others leave you just remind him to stay and wait on your que to go forward and he will. He loves being at the back but can lead quite well also. I have only ridden him in a group of say 5 but usually my hubby and I. He has been ridden on all types a terrain and does great. Ties out on the line for camping or in the woods for a break. Will stand by log for mounting. Follows you around in the pasture for attention. Loads great and stands for farrier. I really hate to let him go cause I will never get another like him but hubby wants to get and rv and travel and we are getting old. Hubby's horse is up for consideration too and would make a good husband and wife team. Located in SC but willing to meet for pickup. Call me for more information at - Phone number removed -
