Right, its been a while since I posted on here! Anyway Im hoping for some advice.
I recently put my horse up for share and found a lovely girl who looks after him amazingly.
The only problem I have is she does not ride him so he works correctly. He is a tb type so all this work with his head in the air is starting to build the wrong muscles. I have spent so long working him correctly and had just started to get a decent topline and its now disappearing so quickly! She rides 3x per week, jumping twice and flatting once. I have offered help/suggested lessons with the flatwork but I get the impression she does not want help or thinks she doesn't need it.
My friend has recently sold her horse and can ride mine really well. She has said she would love to share with me, but I am stuck as the current sharer is perfect every other way, its just the flatwork. I am starting to not enjoy riding as every time I get on I have to re-do the work I did the last time to fix what has been undone.
I think ideally Id like to get rid of the current sharer and have my friend share but I have no idea how to let the current one down. She has become quite attached to my horse in this short time. Has anyone else been in the same situation? What would you do? Sorry its so long!
