Where to advertise for a rider?

[Scribbles]

I'm going to need to find a rider for little neddie (for the summer, at least), and not really sure where is the best place to look.

Does adtrader realy attract wierdo's? Horsemart doesn't have a 'for loan' section. There is only one tiny tack shop nearby, which I suspect is only frequented by people who have their own horses, the other one (Newcastle) would probably be too far.

N.B. I'm in Durham

Horsemart does have a loan section. Stabletalk is a good place and its free!!

Does it? Where? I can't see a link to it.

Thanks!

N'aaw - what size is the pone?

If you weren't so far away, I'd offer, but I'm near Oxford...

I'd suggested the WANTED section of Horsequest - I always check there - not sure why!

He's a 16hh TB x ID type, but only 4 years old. I've just been offered a summer research job which leaves me with no time to ride in the week

Horsequest is well expensive though...

Sounds sweet!

True - the one real bummer about it.

Horsedeals? Do they have a loan etc. section?

Have you got any local RCs PCs? You could put an advert up on their website.

Horsedeals is only £5, so I'll be putting one on there I think - thanks!

Ali2; I don't think he'd be suitable for a PC rider, I wouldn't really allow anyone less than 16, and so I'm reluctant to advertise on the PC website.

I would try your local tack/feed shop notice board.

How about trying newrider?

Dubsie - I can't, as I mentioned above. The local tack shop is more of a feed store, as so I doubt people going to buy feed will want to travel to someone else's yard to ride a horse 3/4 times a week.

Newrider looks good, but there are so many on there! Does it work, because it looks like a lost hope now

Adtrader is £25!! Looks like he'll be going in horse deals, though it doesn't say if that is for website or magazine.
