I am thinking of getting a sharer for my horse as he is not doing much at the moment and I have lost my confidence as he was a bit nappy when I first bought him. Its a girl I know and she is very keen, but its freaking me out a bit as I feel like she is rushing me and I want to take it slowly.
He is a typical opinionated cob and needs a firm but fair rider and handler as he can be bolshy and rude on the ground. I am very fond of him and am having a bit of a hard time with the thought of relinquishing control, despite not having much time myself due to a toddler.
I was going to ask for £60 a month for a couple of days a week. She's hoping for 3/4 days, but that seems like too much to me.
Do shares generally work out? I used to share myself many years ago (and ended up buying the horse) but I feel like this needs careful managing as she is very keen, which is good, but also young and is being a bit pushy already. Even questioned if I was intending to sell the horse after she had got it fit. Have no plan to, but thats no business of hers anyway!
I think my feet are getting a little bit cold......
