Where to look for a horse share in North London?

[ginajane]

I really want to get back into horses. I can't possibly afford to buy one but have been looking into sharing, which is a foreign concept for me. I'm originally from Australia and grew up on a farm with numerous animals and horses. I am experienced in handling horses, I'm a bit rusty on the riding but I'm 100% confident. Been doing some lessons and hacking out in Trent Park. So now I've decided I'd love to share a horse 2 days a week but no idea to look for horse shares? I don't want a competition horse or to do too much schooling. I've looked on gumtree but there is not much? Does anyone know of anyone wanting a sharer in North London (Mill Hill, Edgware, Finchley) or a good place to start looking? And when you share a horse do you need your own tack/grooming kit? Or is that shared too?
Thanks!

Sorry I hardly visit the regional boards on here but if you're still looking - I'd try wanted ads on line like horsemart, horsequest, and try local tack shops and facebook groups e.g. Everything Equine, Herts horse riders. Maybe someone at Trent is looking to share a livery horse they have there?

Arrangements vary but you shouldn't need tack or horse gear, just your own riding gear. It can be expensive depending on what you want, as livery costs a lot. There are yards all around that area inc Mote End which is a big yard in Mill Hill, Frith Manor, London Equestrian Centre (riding school).

go to www.movethat.co.uk there is a space for horse sharing - I know an Apoaloosa in milk hill east that needs a sharer and he's on there
