You are not supposed to...
..but if you tell us where you are and what you are looking for, somebody might have some useful suggestions as to how you might find one....
oh goody .... i dont know if any of you guys know anyone or have anything .. i already have a mare .. but due to losing my confidence i am unable to ride her at the moment , which sickens me no end !!!she is a little firey for me at the moment . i am looking for a pony or horsey on long term loan which is a real confidence giver .. maybe somone one knows or has somthing thats in a field not doing anything that safe , ploddy, a dope on a rope basically that could come to my yard and stay with me for as long as they would want them to stay . it woldnt be a case of when i have got my confidence back they would be sent back ... thats somthing i wont do . this pony would have all the love and attention a pony could evr want . 5 * home . i dont mind how old it is . dont mind what colour .. it really doesnt matter . as long as it is safe , non- spooky , calm , kind and would be just happy hacking around. i am in the bolton area .. if anyone knows of anything could u pm me please or just reply in the forum . references can be provided .
debs, you haven't said how old you are, or what riding experience you have, or indeed experieince of looking after horses. to most horse owners these will be far more important than any amount of love..and if you have a budget set aside to care for this horse
hi .. i have owned horses and been around horses most of my life ... i already have a horse and have funds to have another .. i used to be an aprentice jockey when i was younger ...i worked for jack berry for 2 yr and and decided to have a family .. i still continued looking after horses untill the children where old enough. then bought one ... due to a bad fall a year ago i have lost my confidence . i would say i am a intermediate rider .. i dont wish to compete in anything .. i simply want a happy hacker . i am 31
I will ask around if so as I am from that area and my parents still live there. I have moved over to Heapey, Chorley now so will keep my eye out around there too.
Have you been to look at the tack shops for adverts?
If you are in Lancashire there are:
Oakfield
Pegasus Horse Supplies
Derby House (they are putting a board up)
Cranes Saddlery
Robinsons
Horse Bits

Have you tried safe cobs? they do a loan scheme and also sell. www.safecobs.co.uk. I've heard lots of good things about them, and it's where I'll be having a look when I get mine later in the year xx
