Help needed wording for an advert

[sarah23]

I am just trying to write an advert to find a sharere for my horse. She is forward going in canter and can be in trot but if you do not flap and just have a lite hold of her she is fine if you understand what i mean. I am just looking for somebody to hack her out. Happer hacker.

My question is: I have put not for a novice, but i don't want to put people off and for them to think that she is an idiot as she is not. How can i word it just to get my point across.

not novice ride is a good start but as u say it may put someone off

some people love forward going horses as long as they are safe

i always look for advert that say they are forward going

if he/she is not strong or silly and easy to do u shouldnt have a problem

good luck

I would say something along the lines of, "Needs competant rider" because people often overestimate their own ability and are more likely to do this with their experience; as how do you define experience? Not novice ride puts off the sort of people you want to put off. Or just say, A forward ride.

Safe forward going ride who prefers a rider with light hands.

If I was reading an advert with that it would say to me that she is not a snail and has some va va voom but she is also safe with it and will not bolt and doesn't like to have her mouth grabbed onto by the reins.

Thanks guys.

I have worded it. Lovely safe mare but not for a novice as can be a bit forward going in company. 100% in every other way.

Do you think that sounds OK.
