Just passing through...
For Grey Mare...
She's not your every day sort of horse really.
I'd want some financial and time commitment. She's the sort of horse that has to bond with someone and have time spent with her, hence looking for a sharer.
D1 is okay with it all. Four years at Uni means that otherwise the horse is going to spend most of her time in the field, and at sixteen it seems a pity to not let her have some fun
The thing is, as she's not the easiest of horses to ride; we'd need to see any interested people ride other horses, which some might consider to be a tad cheeky! Would also need a disclaimer signed.
I make it sound like she's the devil incarnate! She's definitely not, just hot and, um, forward going. She can jump like a stag, but goes like an Exocet missile. However, showjumping really is her thing, she's not really keen on much else, though will do some reasonable flat work once she's into it. She safe to hack spookwise, but constantly on her toes and very joggy, though will relax if her rider can totally relax - she picks up on her rider's emotions. Definitely better ridden in the more classic style and does not like the rider to have niggly legs.
She'd have to stay at the yard she's at now and the person would have to have lessons with our instructor of choice (Dark Knight on here, and maybe PP if she's up for it).

Anyhoo, now I've made her sound like a hot potatoe, any suggestions as to how to find the right person?
