I am on the look out for a reliable, confident rider (18+) to help bring my lovely mare, Bonnie, back into work two (ish) days a week.

Bonnie is 21 year old French Trotter but don’t let that put you off, she genuinely loves her work —especially hacking! She's had a break from ridden work since Christmas but I recently hopped back on her after and she was as good as gold. However, she is a typical "quirky mare" who takes confidence from her rider, so she is not suitable for novices.
She is 15.2 (give or take)
Her max weight is 12 stone.

Due to my own health issues, (which is why she has had to have time off too!) I am struggling to keep the consistency that she needs coming back into work.

The Plan:
Start small with 15–20 minutes of walking/trotting in the school/short road hacks & build up to longer hacks then get her out on the Forest again.

She is 21 & has the usual ailments of a horse who has lived well & likes to pretend she is an acrobat when out in her field (thankfully she does save these antics for when in the field and not when ridden though) & she has had 9 months off so this is very much a "see what she is happy to do" scenario.

I just ask for help with daily chores (poo picking, hay, and feed) & to have your own rider insurance. *

This is a great opportunity for an experienced rider looking to get back into the saddle or someone who just wants to "tinker about" and enjoy a lovely horse.

Aware I am looking for a unicorn of a human, but you never know!!

Yard is in Sway/Lymington

*May ask for a small contribution once she is back in proper work, just towards her 6weekly shoes.
