would you risk loaning out an unbroken 4 year old?

I have a lovely mare fresian x Tb 15.2 who I just don't have time for.

She is an unbroken 4 year old who has had tack on and been lunged. I hae no one to help with her and feel she needs to get on and do.

I have no plans to have her back at any point, I ended up with her by accident really. She has no issues at all but should I risk it???

Personally no.
I think those that would take her on probably aren't experienced enough to do so and those that are experienced enough probably wouldn't as they would generally feel they are likely to be used as a free breaking service.
Can you not find someone in your area that would take her on but keep her with you. That way you could keep an eye on what is going on.

I would look at selling her, before loaning, in your situation.

I think it may be difficult to find the right person to take on a pony, back it and start it for you. Then there is the risk that they do not do a good job, and you have a bigger issue to deal with.

I also agree with juno x comments.

She sounds lovely BTW we have a freisan x riding pony x ASH and she was young and green when we got her. She has a really good attitude, and is a smart pony.

She is lovely.

Yes I think your right it probably would be best to sell it was the issue of someone making a mess of backing her that made me think twice more than anything.
