Hello
I've recently come out of a long-term part loan (sounds like a marriage doesn't it!) so after a brief period of not knowing what to do with myself and missing riding/being around ponies terribly, I'm now tentatively starting the hunt for my next part loan horse. I've trawled Preloved but surprisingly for this time of year there's not much on there locally. Found one potential but that's about it. So thought I would try posting on good old HHO to see if anyone local can help!
I'm looking for a part loan/share for 2 days a week including a weekend day. Sadly I don't have the time for a horse of my own due to work commitments - I have to travel and stay overnight for work frequently so have found a share works best for me. For this reason, I'll sometimes have to be flexible with days but will always give plenty of notice. Due to work I can't do weekday mornings.
I'm 28, 5'8" and weigh 9 stone 8, friendly, reliable and a sympathetic, experienced rider who has ridden and loved horses since very small. Have done low-level dressage and prefer flatwork to jumping so not a problem if the horse doesn't jump. Although I'm experienced I'm the first to admit I'm not the world's best rider by any means! I like to have regular lessons, happy to go with an instructor the owner/horse uses. Floodlit school a must especially now that the dark winter evenings have set in! Hacking would be a lovely bonus, as would friendly hacking buddies on the yard!
Happy doing yard duties but would look for the price of the loan to reflect that - if it's on full livery I'm happy to pay a bit more, if it's DIY I would prefer to pay less - otherwise it can sometimes feel that you're paying a lot to shovel poo if you don't ride that day
I would prefer not to travel too far and to keep my horsey commute under 25 mins in traffic - so looking near as possible to Cheadle Hulme. A yard in Bramhall/Hazel Grove/Poynton would be ideal but happy to travel as far as Prestbury/Adlington for the right loan.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, feel free to PM me if you prefer.
