Putting the feelers out for a sharer for my lovely boy! I’m looking for a sharer for 3 days per week (ideally Monday, Friday and Saturday). He’s kept at Eastmoors in St Leonard’s and won’t be moving. The yard has a school, grass riding paddock in summer, and excellent hacking. There’s always someone lovely to hack out with!
Todd’s a 14.3hh Connie who’s just about to turn 20. Don’t let this put you off, he’s low mileage and still has many years left in him! Due to a past injury (10+ years ago), Toddy doesn’t jump, but he’ll hack/school/lunge/polework and I’m more than happy for someone to take him out to fun rides and compete him. He’s previously been working at Elementary/Medium at home and will go out and do a lovely test. He stands at the lorry all day long and travels brilliantly with or without company.
He’s super safe, though he isn’t a plod when ridden and will step up a gear if you fancy it, but is equally happy to pootle about on the buckle!
He lives out in the summer and comes in at night in the winter (October-April/May). He’s easy peasy, an absolute snuggle bug, and will come in as late as you like, with no worries about him being the last or first horse out!
He’s been picked up and put down over the last 9 months and has only been back in work for 7/8 weeks now. Therefore, he’s not currently completely fit but is well on his way to being fully back in work.
I’ll be looking for all chores to be done on the sharer’s days, and a small financial contribution to cover shoes. There are services offered at the yard if you’re unable to make both ends of the day in winter. There is also the option of more riding if I have a busy week/am away, at no extra cost (just chores).
He does have Cushings and is medicated daily, but you wouldn’t know and it’s very well managed. He does get cold and needs suitable rug changes to manage this in the winter.
I’m looking for someone over 18 who’s capable, sensible, reliable and lightweight (under 10.5st), who will love and enjoy him. He doesn’t deserve to be sitting in the field and I’ve finally accepted that with running my own business, I don’t have the time. He’s the love of my life and I will be fussy about who we take on, but he’ll give someone so much joy!
There will be a 2 week trial period, a full contract in place and you’re expected to have your own rider insurance.
