Haha it's so hard being a newer rider! I constantly hear conflicting opinions. So many people have told me that riding lots of RS horses is nothing compared to privately owned horses! And also had lots of people saying they wouldn't consider a sharer unless they could help bring the horse on and...

Ha no that's fine Baran. I explained that this is what I meant by the word bond though if this makes more sense. "Creating a bond to me isn't about having or stealing someone else's horse - i mean it's about learning about the horse and dedicating time to that one horse - at a riding school we...

Scarlett, it's so nice to hear about a lovely owner out there! Sounds like you really go the extra mile to have a good relationship with your sharers. Prosecco too?? Sounds like a dream haha. I'm soooo annoyed I live about an hour away! It's good to hear though that someone thinks I have enough...

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I will put all the height/weight/experience stuff back in. I was told to take it out and that someone would ask me if they wanted to know, however more of you are saying to put it in so I will. I'm not sure I'm making myself clear with the "bond" thing at all...

Thanks for the response, I've actually just sorted insurance out with them this morning as they looked the best.

This is nice to hear! I have recently posted about looking for my first share, and had one poster basically saying there is no way anyone would let me (a 25yr old who's been riding for a few years) anywhere near their horse as I wouldn't be able to train their horse properly and no one would...

Although I think you have really good advice Shay, I think it sounds really sad that adult sharers aren't considered unless they can offer super training for the horse! Adult sharers need their first chance too, and obviously we aren't going to be the worlds best at educating the horses when...

Haha thanks! I'm sure you are a fount of knowledge for many things, horses or not!

Thank you, definitely looks like I was worrying too much about it being a long advert and should just put everything in. I don't think I've made it clear that I want to learn in terms of creating a bond with one specific horse and improving a horse/rider relationship, rather than learn the ropes...

Brilliant advice, thank you. I have been searching for months and a wanted ad was my last resort really - nothing seems to be coming up in my area so I was thinking a wanted ad might be seen by someone who hadn't fully decided whether they wanted to put their horse up for share, and then it...

Hi all, I currently have riding lessons regularly, help a friend with her horses and am looking to start sharing/loaning soon. I am wanting to get riders insurance as I know this is the sensible thing to do, but whenever I have looked online they are all so different and different prices...

Thanks pixie27! I have tried some facebook sites but lots are closed groups and won't add me. The admins have been nice enough to message me, but often they say as they don't know me and I don't have any horsey/mutual contacts, they won't add me. Curse of being the only horsey person in my...

Hiya, new to this site and mainly look for advice on sharing/loaning at this stage, though sure new questions will pop up! Thanks x

Hi all, I'm new to posting on this site (though I've been reading it for ages in a stalkery fashion). Just wanted a bit of advice about posting an ad for a share/part loan. I've tried Friday ad and horsemart but think my ad was maybe too long and wordy? Would that put people off, in your...
