Hi everyone,

I had to sell my boy at the end of last summer and after a few months of making the most of free weekends I am seriously bored. I have returned to studying at the moment so finances are limited but was thinking of either looking for a share or using my time to have some decent lessons in an attempt to iron out my many faults! Thing is I live in London and not sure where I would find schoolmaster sessions- I can drive out to South Herts area easy enough and have looked at Greenacres website but was wondering if anyone had been there? Or if anyone knows of anyone looking for some help in return for training/rides? I have ridden for a fair while and bought my last horse up to discovery from being unbacked and in an ideal world would love to find something on a competition yard (sj/dressage/event) where I could keep learning more before I eventually get my next one! I have been helping a couple of friends out with their horses when they've been on holiday but not much else seems to have come up so any suggestions would be much appreciated!
 
I know of people looking for sharers in south herts (croxley green if you know of that near rickmansworth/watford)! One lady is pregnant so reallly looking for someone to ride i think - if you want numbers PM me (i will ask them first of course before giving them to you). Not a competition yard but has an all weather surface and floodlights and can bring in your own instructor/trainer

If not Rosehall farm is quite a good riding school or i dont know if they do lessons on their own horses but Patchetts in watford gives lessons

I'm based in Hatfield and investigated some other places websites and so on (and started going somewhere else but didn't like it) and Contessa shone through as the best (for me, at least). It was the highest placed british entry in the competition for best riding school in Europe 2006 so must be alright!!
 
Thanks snowsadue but think Croxley green is a little too far judging by my google-map-age! Watford area would be fine though if know anyone around there? I used to keep my last horse near Patchetts and its pretty easy to get to but as far as I know its just lovery and they don't have anything to teach on.
