Riding school - how did you move on from it?

I know exactly what you mean. When I rode at a riding school I felt the same way in my last year. I also found that things other than the riding itself were the most fun. A brilliant solution is to get a share horse. For many people, a share horse becomes like having your own horse, just for one or a few days a week.

You get more freedom to do what you want (in agreement with the owner, of course), and you can develop in the things you are passionate about. Plenty of people are looking for a sharer who wants exactly that, to hack out, potter about with the horse or do groundwork. A share horse also gives you the chance to build the relationship and communication with the horse in a way you cannot with a riding-school horse, because you get everything around it too, not just the riding.

A good way to find a share horse is to write an advert with information about you, your experience and what you are looking for. Post it on Facebook, where there are loads of groups for finding horse shares.

I hope you find one that suits you! ❤️
