how to find a sharer- advice needed

[pelena]

hello! I'm vaguely thinking of getting a sharer a couple of days a week for my akhal teke mare and was wondering which were the best places to advertise? She is stabled near London so there aren't too many tack shops to stick ads up in.... Also while her schooling has come on loads but she is pretty forward going, does any one any tips on how to specify I need an experienced rider without making her sound certifiable

? Thanks in advance!

Ask around local riding schools, equestrian centres, riding clubs and pony clubs. Put the word out amongst your friends, word of mouth is the best way.

thanks Katt- yes word of mouth wold be ideal, I haven't really asked anyone as I have literaly just started thinking about it.... I ride her about 4 times a week and didn't consider a sharer beforehand as I was focusing on schooling her properly but I think she could probably do with a bit more work now, and a bit of extra cash wouldn't hurt either!

How about saying 'forward-going, so experienced rider preferred'? That should stop her sounding like a nutter

horsetoloan.com seems like a good place- found a perfect share horse for myself there yesterday, ringing back for a chat today

preloved.com is good too, i've looked on there in the past.
