doing my head in now as need to find a sharer for one of my ponies.ive done preloved,tack shops etc.anymore suggestions?
im only looking for someone to ride one of my ponies 2/3 times per week for a minimal sum.my ponies are just hackers and we have good off road riding.:confused:
 
Sorry to say but there are alot of people offering share and rides foc..........I have someone who helps me out and they pay nothing and free lifts to funrides etc - I see it that they are doing me a favour.

Its not easy, try your local tack and feed store.
 
Bizzare!! I am sure there must be a horseless person in staffs thats would love this opportunity although maybe people are worried about riding alone :confused:.

If i found that on offer around me it would be fab although i would want do stable duties / grooming ect too as just riding isnt my main priority.
 
There are people out there- don't give up. I'm in Staffordshire and looking for just that, but something bigger than a pony unfortunately.

Good luck.
 
I've found mine through horsetoloan.com and equine adverts.

It does take a long time to find someone suitable though, as in a good few months. I have a sharer at the moment but am looking for another one for another two days rather than full loan her out as I'm going back to uni full time. I've had a couple try her but one was too novicey and the other was too restrictive so still looking! There are a lot more people in the past year or so offering shares due to the recession as well.
 
Try Gumtree :), that's where I found my sharer and she's a gem.

And I think it's normal to ask for a contribution if your sharer is not doing heavy/smelly stable duties.
 
People will pay to hack. One of my sharers paid £23 a week for 3 days to hack out. She rarely rode in the school. She shared my horse for two years. If you look at how much it costs to ride at a riding school or trekking centre you'll see why. I thought about going hacking in the Yorkshire dales last week but it was £40 for 2hours!

However if you want adults but are offering a share of ponies it's harder. Mine is a 14.3hh middleweight appaloosa so many adults are put off by her size, although she'll carry 11 stone, probably more. I don't want anyone under 15 yrs old as they are generally speaking not reliable enough and as they won't be ssupervised I don't want to risk it.
