Im looking for someone to part loan my haflinger but all I seem to be getting 13yr girls from RS that are interested, hes not suitable for someone like that, I just tried with a girl and things went very wrong and she messed him up! He is good to ride but only if you can ride otherwise he will just take the p!

So im after some help from you fab ppl!
What should I put in my ad to attract the right ppl I have put confident and experienced but not sure what else

you could try saying would be best suited to competent lightweight adult. I would be tempted to say over 16's only but that may be a little discouraging?

Thank you, I think I might have to put an age although I dont want to seem off putting but I currently have a 12yr pleading with over email how to give her a chance lol
I never thought this would be so hard!!

if they are pleading then just say its not a matter of age it’s a matter of insurance - both yours and your yard owners. its hard enough letting someone ride your horse let alone someone who you are worried wont cope. I rode and broke in many horses for people from the age of about 13 (and before that for a riding school) and I was always trusted and would never have done anything not to be. but I also would have understood if someone said they weren't prepared for me to do it!

Hi..I would advertise for a lightweight, competent adult sharer and maybe say own transport required as that may help point the ad towards an older rider for you?? I shared my Sec.C for a while with a younger rider and that also went very wrong with him going without food for days.

I wouldnt see anyhting wrong with you advertising for someone 16+. Unless someone you know know's of anyone younger but mature fr their age?? Good Luck xx
