Genuine Sharing/Exercising Query

I have a sharer for my 20yo boy.

He is truly wonderful. Really chilled, proper schoolmaster - ex event horse who’s hocks got him but he still happily jumps up to 3 foot.

I have a sharer as I’m super busy with work and my other horse. To be honest, without competing him and not having any goals I wasn’t motivated to ride him much especially as I’m so busy.

I have a WONDERFUL sharer. She loves taking him for long slow hacks, giving him lots of love and has lessons on him to improve herself whilst he generally plods along like a school horse. I’ve since changed jobs and her help means I can work shifts - I’d be buggered otherwise!

I let her ride him whenever she likes and do whatever she wants. As an ex freelance rider, that’s the line I think. They pay if they can do (within reason) what they like. If you're giving them particular instructions that you want them to do xyz and work on abc then you need to pay.
 
I once had a woman give me the "opportunity" to reschool her physically and emotionally unlevel PRE for the bargain price of £20 pw. She had lost her confidence on the horse - horse was very energetic and had a decent buck and needed complete reschooling including physical remedial work (all of which she explained, before telling me the price). It was very kind of her to allow someone to pay to reschool her horse, but I declined.
