Free ride - Are people interested in this?

[Jezzabell]

I would like some help with my pony..
Are people interested in being a free sharer these days? I know when i couldnt afford a pony i would of loved to help with someone else's..

The thing is she is only 13.2/3 (at a guess) but i would like someone older & more experienced than me?
I don't want it to be a case of someone thinking im using them to bring her on and get rid when she is better..More of an opportunity to ride/do almost anything they like but without the costs..(Im not super rich by anymeans)

Please please pleaseeee PM if anyone would be interested

I am not in your area, but was just thinking it might be worth giving an idea of her breeding and say if you've got a weight limit for her, as some adults could ride a 13.2hh welsh or NF for example, but not a show pony

but if I was in your area and wasn't 5ft7 I would jump at the chance so I am sure other people will

um yeah!!!

just make sure you dont get messed about adults can ride ponies too - depending on breed.!

where do people advertise things like this as it will be 100% free?

Thanks

local tack shops, feed merchants, adtrader perhaps.

Are you in the Pony Club or a riding club? Perhaps you could ask there? Otherwise, put a card up in your local tack shop. Most sharers I imagine would jump at the chance of riding with no payment. You might like to ask a sharer to contribute something towards feed now that it is coming into winter or towards his shoes. I don't think people would begrudge that.

Also be clear about what you want. Don't just say to them 'oh come and ride him when you want' because you might find that he is being ridden at the time that you want to ride. Best to set out specific days that the sharer has him and you have him.
