My current horse is recovering from an injury and is also getting older, so he’s starting to struggle with travelling. Because of this, I’m looking for a new four-legged friend.
Ideally I’m looking for a short-term loan as do not have the space over winter (would have to go when off summer fields). So an end date would need to be agreed.
I’m ideally looking for a gelding (as my yard is geldings only), between 14.1hh and 16hh. I’d love something I can get out and about on, have lessons with, and continue improving—I’m very focused on correct way of going and developing with my instructors.
A bit about me: I’m 27 and based on a yard in the Cadnam/Ower area. I’ve ridden a wide variety of horses and have experience bringing on young horses. I’ve competed up to BE90 and would have loved to progress further, but my current horse is asthmatic.
The yard offers fantastic facilities including forest hacking, a floodlit school, and a jump field in the summer. Owners are very welcome to visit and ride.
I’m open to a range of options—loans, schooling for a few weeks, or something that needs a bit of work and outings. I really miss having something to improve and to have regular lessons on. That said, I’d also be happy with something more established that’s ready to get out competing.
Could also suit someone wanting a discounted sales/schooling livery if it gives me the above!
I’d also be happy to help with a horse at its current yard if it’s local to me and has good facilities.
