I m a semi-retired female older rider looking to get back to riding one day a week. I have ridden most of my life and exercised horses as a hobby for 30 years for owners lacking the time to ride. These include a thoroughbred cross who I rode for 6 years and a NF gelding who I rode for nearly 10 years, both in the New Forest and both on my own; also several short term arrangements for people who were ill or injured and couldn t ride, riding these both alone and in company.
I live in Southampton and am happy drive 20-30 mins to ride. I love the New Forest but would consider other areas.
I m really looking for something safe, possibly older, but still keen to go out. Nothing spooky or highly strung, please. Am happy to ride in company or alone, and I m used to catching, grooming and tacking up as well as doing chores, and have supervised vet s visits in the past. I m a competent and experienced rider, but have never competed or done dresssage and am really just a happy hacker!
