| Wants to share Horses and ponies
I have 4 horses, soon to be 5, that are kept at home on our private yard near Basingstoke. The stables are set in 20acres but surrounded by superb off road hacking.
I am looking for someone to help me with the day to day care of the horses as having 4 is really hard work!! This is more important to me than looking for someone to help with the exercising.
The right person is more important than the financial contribution. It would be great to find someone who is willing to look after my horses if I am away etc. I would love to find someone who can become a good friend and riding companion, who will come to competitions with me and youngster gradings etc.
You must be a very experienced, competant rider if you wish to ride.
The 2 riding horses I have available are Fonzy and Ellie.
Fonzy is a 16.2hh 15yr ex-racehorse. He is sharp, quite nervous of new people, quite spooky and not a novice ride but hasnt got a bad bone in his body. He LOVES jumping but has retired from showing.
Ellie is a 16.1hh 6yr Dressage mare by Donnerhall. She has been professionally schooled, performs lateral moves with ease, she has competed at the nationals. She is a typical hannovarian and will test you! The first time I sat on her she gave me a run for my money with a bronking session. Ellie will be put in foal this year to be due in 2013.
Taisie is a 16.2hh 7yr Graded Broodmare due again in May 2012. She will be going to the futurity in the summer with her foal to the foal gradings. She will be put back in foal this year so will have a foal with Ellie in 2013.
Margaux is Taisies first foal who was born in June 2010 so is currently 18mths and 15.3hh!! She will be sold this year at Addington Sports Horse Sales providing she meets the reserve, if not she'll come home and be broken in 2013 and then sold. She has been graded as an Eventer and received a first premium. Both grandad and grt grandad competed in the olympics so we have high hopes for her.
I am an easy going person, I do take breeding my horses seriously but at the same time they are my hobby and I love them dearly. If you feel you can fit in and provide week day help please contact me :) |
