Cogitating on getting a sharer. Or should I just pay someone?

[0ldmare]

My young horse has come a really long way in the 12 months she has been here, but I am aware that she now should be doing more... going to parties, jumping, hunting or whatever. Trouble is I have very limited enthusiasm (or time) for it. I dont have a problem with other people riding her as long as they are reasonable riders (in fact I love it as it allows me to ride my other horse who misses out a lot because i dont really have time for 2). I thought I could do both, but it doesnt really seem to work out that way.

Trouble is I dont really want a rider who just wants to plod out on a hack all the time (although happy for that some of the time of course!). Do you think I should just pay someone to do things with her (I can afford it). Or do you think its worth trying to find someone who wants to share a horse? Sorry, impossible questions really. Would love a keen pony clubber for her really, she is 15hh with super conformation, adores people and would make a really top class WHP if anyone was interested

Askt he local PC if anyone is horseless/looking?
Do you have time for 2 ie would full loan be a bad thing?

Thanks, the PC does sound a good idea. I am not sure I could cope with a totally full loan as I am really fond of the mare (its hard not to when all she wants in life is to be cuddled!!).

Jenbleep was loaning and she moved, I think it might be to your area? not sure but might be worth finding out, she might be looking.
