Hi all! I'm having to advertise for another sharer and was hoping you could give some opinions on my advert. Last time I found my sharer through her advert looking for a horse to ride and I put up an advert briefly when she was thinking about giving up, I got a few replies but it was mainly people who could only do one day which isn't really suitable for me and Rubic as I wouldn't want to have too many different people riding her.
So here it is!
"Confident adult needed to ride my 14.2hh mare at least 3 days a week.
I currently do not have enough time to spoil my lovely 11 year old, well mannered cob and am looking for a competent adult with their own transport to ride her and help out with some yard chores.
She is fantastic to hack out in company or alone. 100% in traffic including large vehicles (double decker buses, HGV lorries) and bicycles. Will go in front or behind when in company. She can be more nervous/spooky when hacking alone and takes her confidence from her rider but is very willing to please. She loves to go for a gallop! She is also great fun in the school. I am currently working on her balance, rhythm and suppleness. Currently she is capable of a lovely balanced walk and trot however her canter work needs developed further. She has a brilliant jump and is very honest. She can be strong during fast work and jumping so I am looking for a confident rider who can be firm yet kind with her.
I would like to keep her work varied as possible so am looking for someone who is able and willing to hack and do some basic work in the school. There are lots of different hacking routes (some off-road) and a large outdoor school with some poles and jumps to ride in. I take her out to local shows/clear rounds a couple of times a year so there may be the opportunity to come along and compete for a small contribution to travelling/entry fees.
My horse is on a DIY livery yard and is stabled overnight during winter (and generally out 24/7 during summer). I would like someone who would be willing to turn-out and/or bring in, groom, muck out and prepare feeds on their days. I am looking for £25 a week to help towards livery, feed and farrier bills.
I need someone who can commit to helping for at least 3 days a week (or more if you would like!). Days are negotiable however I am looking for someone who is able to help mainly on weekdays as I work Mon-Fri although one weekend day could be arranged.
Please contact me for more information/photos/videos. Serious enquiries only."
All opinions are welcome. I'm worried I'll have missed something out that people might want to know or that I've rambled too much! I'm not necessarily wanting someone to school her for me as I'm happy to do that myself, just someone that can walk/trot/canter and do little bits of flatwork (circles, legyield etc), nothing fancy - does that come across ok or is there a better way to word it. Just as long as they are a firm but quiet rider I'd be happy!
