Im thinking of taking on a sharer for my 6yo 16h welsh sec D x gelding. He is green and a little bolshy when he thinks he can get away with it. However he is just testing you as if he considers you not worthy enough as a leader then he loses confidence. This is purely on the ground however under saddle he is very good for hacking both alone and in company and he is a fab hunter but really done anything in the school. I tend to do my schooling on hacks as schooling in a school is my weak point. There is a nice flat field which he can be ridden if not too wet. But the big plus point is Dartmoor is only a 10 minute hack from me.
Now with working full time I very soon wont have the time to ride Monday to Friday and as no school etc I just wont have the time to ride. I was thinking of advertising for someone to ride two to 3 times per week for some good long hacks to get him fit and keep him fit over the winter with me riding him at weekends also the opportunity to hunt on Tuesday if they want to etc. I was thinking of asking for a contribution for shoes but not sure what to charge or if thats too cheap or even if I should be asking for a little more of a contribution to his care etc as have never looked into this before
Please can you guys share your experiences both good and bad so I know what to look out for. Would anybody be interested in this kind of share?
