I have a good sharer. Sharing is not without it's niggles, as you would expect, but my sharer is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, a decent horsewoman and puts in a lot of effort.
There have been some niggles but I won't bring them up here because overall I should count myself lucky, but...
When I advertised the share I asked for £75 a month. This gets her four days a week riding an incredibly safe, versatile and fun horse. Sharer has competed with success and can do anything she likes on her. May-Oct is DIY (with morning services, so no need to go up in the morning on her days) and it is full livery Oct-April. I'd like to renegotiate on the money side of things but I'm just useless at this sort of thing. Generally, are people paying more than that?
Horse costs me £450 a month in Winter, I don't think the £75 is a fair proportion of the cost considering the horse/livery etc.
Is it the done thing? I'm a proper wally with this sort of thing. Should I just think myself lucky that she's sane, reliable and kind to the horse?
