Best place to advertise for a sharer?

[Copperpot]

Thinking of getting a sharer for my boy. Does anyone know the best places to look/advertise?

He lives on Beds/Bucks border.

Thanks.

Im in the same situation. Ive tried local feed stores etc with no luck at all, then figured if people are buying feed chances are they have their own horse already!
Im now going to try places like local shops/ post office/ garage etc as everyone visits these places horse owner or not.
Good luck

To find a good one you can't beat word of mouth. Get chatting!!

There's a lot of adverts for sharers on Horsemart, under horses for loan.

 

[Copperpot]

Thanks everyone will have a look. I don't need a financial contribution, just want someone who wants to ride couple of times a week and compete if they feel like it

 

[McNally]

Pretty much the same- you'd imagine it to be easy!

 

[pogface]

I live in beds!! But I already share... I found an add on horsemart and contacted the owner through that. I know she had a lot of replies so it may be worth paying to get the extra interest.

 

[ghostie]

is there a uni nearby? If so worth contacting their riding club to see if they know of anyone. IME lots of people sell their horses before they go to uni but would love to share and would be able to make a financial contribution.

Do you have a instructor?
I have found someone to ride my pony whilst I'm pregnant through my instructor. The lady is great and fingers crossed they get on great over the next 6-12months.

 

[Copperpot]

I do have an instructor yes but she lives a long way away.

Think I will try Horsemart

No mucking out or jobs to do either, just the fun part

Sounds perfect! Unfortunately I'm off to uni in October so can't really commit long term, and you're probably too far away from me
Hope you find some one...could also try on preloved, equine adverts, horse deals, the horse exchange and ad horse if you're going down the website root

 

[Copperpot]

That's a shame Princess Jess will try those too. It should be easy he's a good boy most of the time, hacks alone, sj, XC and hunts. Can do dressage too if they like, I just don't. I'm sure I will find someone

Ditto! Trying word of mouth too. Have now put on preloved and am crossing fingers I can find a part loaner/sharer for two, or I will have to sell one

I found my sharer on www.equineadverts.co.uk so I didn't need to advertise.

 

[azouria]

I'm looking for a sharer for Red at the moment too - we've put ads up on horsesharesuk and equine adverts and had some responses but nothing suitable yet. Probably worth browsing the riders available/wanted sections (especially on equineadverts because you might find someone close who's looking).

 

[Princess Jess]

Copperpot don't he sounds perfect, fancy moving up to university with me?!
I am sure you'll find someone lovely

 

[midnight mayhem]

I Had most replies on preloved. I also used Facebook pages to advertise and equine ads. I had loads of replies on preloved though..found a sharer in a couple of days! Good luck. X

 

[Copperpot]

Thanks everyone. Looked on Preloved and have someone coming to meet him on Monday

 

[Carefreegirl]

I can vouch for him - he's very handsome (horse not the sharer)

 

[Copperpot]

A handsome sharer wouldn't be a bad thing ........

 

[midnight mayhem]

If you find a handsome sharer do fill us in :-D

 

[Copperpot]

Hee hee - I think my OH would have something to say if I ended up with a hunky sharer :0

 

[midnight mayhem]

It's not your fault if the hunky sharer were the only one to reply to your ad (big sigh) ;-)
