Second level school master for part board - near Erin

I'm looking for a late first level or second level dressage rider, but if you are training or earlier first level and want the chance to improve your skill, please consider lessons with me through Oct & November, in which case I can offer a discount on the PB through Dec-Feb. Longer period of PB may be possible depending on my healing rate.

He is just returning to fitness after an injury, a kind, safe 2nd level schoolmaster - just in time for me to go off for knee replacement surgery in December with a minimum three months recovery. I am therefore seeking part-board rider to keep the boy happy and the conditioning in place.

Bounce (Whippoorwill Amulet x Sereno Dandy Vermont) has been my lesson horse. He is a 15h and 15 years old, a stoutly built old-style Morgan. He can carry weight but the rider should be under 200 lbs. He is broke to ride and drive, although we are riding only at this facility. I've owned him since he was 2 -- I have done nearly all of the riding and most of the driving training, with support from Jan Chuchman and John Lassetter among others. He is a a confidence builder, has worked to 2nd level dressage and has done some 3rd level movements. He is a superb longe line horse. He is point-and-shoot over fences, a safe hack and a kind babysitter. Quiet, sane, but no deadhead - his rider must have some riding experience.

He's in a friendly, well run facility near Erin. I will require that he stays in the current facility because this works for when I go back to the commute in March. I'm an insured instructor and have been offering lessons to a select number of students on a part time basis for the past few years.
