My partners mum owns a lovely 15hh coloured 3yr old gelding, hes was broken slowly over the summer & is a lovely genuine boy, the problem we have is my OH's mum is very very novicey (though having lessons) & she has also had a knee replacement which does sadly limit her riding ability. She doesn't want to sell him as she is very attached to him, so i have suggested to her perhaps she might be able to find someone with something wanting a quieter life (& preferably a bit shorter & easier to get on for her) & who is looking for something younger to do more stuff on & have some fun, so basically a loan swap. I don't really know how viable something like this would be, but i thought it could potentially be a situation that would be of benefit to both parties, she would want it to be a long term arrangement, so incase anyone thinks it would case of getting someone else to do the work with him & then nab him back it definitely wouldn't be. So does anyone think it would be a viable idea & has anyone ever tried it & did it work out?

Yes i think someone would happily do this. Find someone who has an older happy hacker, that they dont want to sell, and want another horse but maybe cant afford one?! Not sure about how you would go about it? start in tack shops etc.
Good Luck :D
