My share horse's owner is very busy at the moment and has agreed that a weekday(s) sharer would help but might not have time to find one herself.

I was thinking of asking about putting an ad up and writing something like

"Weekday sharer needed for lovely 15.1hh 10yr old gelding all-rounder.

<horse's name> loves to SJ, will work nicely on the flat and is good to hack alone and in company. Current novice sharer has taken him along the A1 without difficulty but he wouldn't be suitable for a beginner.

Medium sized friendly and relaxed yard has indoor school, 2 floodlit outdoor schools, one with jumps, farm fields to ride around and access to hacking. Possibility of lessons with existing or your own instructor. Opportunity, but no pressure, for riding-club level competitions.

We're looking for a lightweight rider 2-3 days (flexible) in the week with very occasional weekend days available too. He is on 5-day livery so no chores but small financial contribution required. Might suit parent, student or retired person."

But I wasn't sure if people would be put off to find they are replying to the horses sharer rather than his owner? There wouldn't be more than the three of us riding him and his owner is really helpful and an ex-sharer herself.
 
TBH I wouldn't do a sharer ad on her behalf unless she'd said it was ok - I assume she doesn't know as you said she's too busy to do one herself? I think the ad sounds fine (but I am a numpty ad them

Oh, yes - of course I will check first. I call her probably half of the times I see him with one question or another anyway and she is fab! To start with we've agreed I'll ask some friends of the family. Just thought it might be a good idea to draft something before I ask about an ad so that there is less hassle for her if she likes the idea.
 
Shame your not near chingford the horse sounds fab and i was looking for one to share, but if i saw the add and was interested I would wanna talk to the actual owner of the horse first so she can say what his like.
I think its a nice idea tho coz it would help her if she don't have the time xxx
