Do you think anyone would be interested?

Just wondering whether you think i'd have any interest in this-

Due to A levels i'm finding it hard to have enough time to ride my mare, only really manage one day a weekend, so I was wondering whether it'd be worth advertising for someone to be able to come ride her, no financial/work contribution required other than perhaps the odd job? Thing is i'd want an experienced person, not because shes difficult in any way but so she actually gets worked and ridden properly not just plodding around, however as they are kept at home we have no school (school available to hire 5mins up the road) but excellent hacking,

Do you think i'd get much interest from experienced riders, shes a quality horse and i'd be happy for them to compete her locally, or would I be more likely to get people just wanting a plod every now and then?

yes you would deffo get some interest. alot of people out there working that dont have time to own there own but still would like to ride a couple of times a week. advertise for a sharer and you can be picky as to who you want to choose out of the applicants

Definitely worth an advert and see who turns up, plenty of people who'd had time out of horses for one reason or another and want to get back into it - they'd be experienced (if a little unfit!) or someone who's had to give up their own horse because of financial issues (relevant to lots of people at the moment!)
You will get lots of people who will tell you there are 'experienced' - but you can normally tell if that's true by handing them a grooming kit and bridle - if there is a look of panic in their eyes perhaps end the viewing there !!!!

i would think someone would jump at the chance! maybe someone whose own horse is injured or something and can't afford 2.
