I'll keep this short because i am just having a whinge.
As any of you who read Hovis' Friday diary will know, after 5 weeks of working his backside off my new sharer announced she didnt want to share Hovis any more and rocked up at the yard with a loan TB.
The sharer had come recommended, I'd allowed her to take him to lessons, bought new bots etc for him so she could take him XC and even agreed to give up some of my precious weekends with him so that she could take him to compete. Needless to say I'm a little peeved.
Since then I've readvertised him and good lord have i had some "interesting" phone calls. Several novices including one who'd had the grand total of 4 riding lessons despite the advert stating he needs a competent rider as hes strong, a few people who want a nice "kick along plod" and one enquiry for a 13 year old.
Please can someone give me hope that there are normal sharers out there who are reliable, trustworthy and can ride a little bit?!!
Utterly despondant about it today, not to mention feeling sorry for my poor boy having been worked really hard for weeks, not putting a hoof wrong and now he stands there looking uttery confused as to why the ex sharer is now ignoring him.
Whinge over.
thanks
