Hi all
I'm off to Uni next year and so only have one more year left bringing on my youngster before I go off. Hence I was thinking of putting out an advert or the like to find a jockey for my youngster when I go away, as mother wants to keep her on but is unable to ride.
How likely is it to find a small/light (pony is quite fine 14.2hh) fairly comptent rider? They'd be asked to pay a £10-£20 contribution a week for livery and basically have to turn up and ride. Obviously can take muck in with the caring side too but that'll be mainly down to mum. Yard has well draining outdoor school, jumping field etc.
Riding would most likely be 3-4 times a week including 1 jumping session, 1 or 2 hacks, 1 lesson and 1 schooling.
How's the best way to go about it? Is getting her out and about next season the best way? Ideally she's a competition horse who needs a confident rider, will be find this?
Thank you
