Answer 1

Look at some of these sites. What you are looking for is a free lease.

Answer 2

Hi I am 24 and have been riding for 20 years. If you have a stables that you regularly go to there is two approaches you can take. A; ask the stable owner if you ca muck out on weekends or after school to earn yourself some time on the school horses, or B; make a little flyer up advertising yourself and put this up on the stable notice board. Most horse owners you will find have very busy lives in the week and would love to have a responsible qualified rider look after their horse for a few hours a week.
Both of these worked for me when I was younger.

Answer 3

HI There, you dont say where in Berkshire but if you near Reading, Wokingham area contact me and i can give you a bit more help.

I was an Instructor in that area for the last 11 years so know of a few decent places.

If not... start checking out your local riding schools, they usually have thier ponies up for loan to help with the cost of the upkeep.

or put wanted ads in freeads and adtrader.

keep a look out in tackshops too!

Good luck..

Answer 4

The best thing to do is ask at the place where you ride, they will know of anyone looking for someone to share or loan their horse. It is better that you look through people you know, as if you just find some random person who you don't know, you may find yourself in hot water if the loan agreement/sharing agreement gets tricky. At least if you look through the advice of friends or trusted people then you know you can trust the person you are loaning from.

Good luck, the horse world is a lovely place to be, and I hope you find the horse you are looking for!

Answer 5

You could try these websites:
www.worldofhorses.co.uk/hire_loan.htm
www.equineadvertiser.co.uk/horses_for_loan.htm

Good horses for loan are like gold dust and get snapped up quite quickly, so keep checking for new ads. Your local riding stables or hunt may have some useful contacts. You could also try advertising yourself on the web or local paper as someone with experience of riding who would be happy to exercise someone elses horses - lots of people don't have the time to properly exercise their horses and you might be lucky enough to get a top quality one to ride. Good luck!!

Answer 6

*WARNING*

Don't privately loan a horse without a contract (make sure you have you're parents involved), things can get very messy very quickly! Think about the cost, if you lease a horse you will be responsible for everything (just like owning one) so you're parents will have to pay for it all, make sure they're up for it, for a start there's stabling, feed, insurance, dentist, farrier (excess on vet's bills, or full thing if you don't want to claim on insurance) replacement/repairs on tack and rugs, and this lot's just for starters...Basically in the money you're parents would spend on a six month loan you could have bought you're own horse!
best thing for you to do (once you've discussed it with the parental unit) is get you're butt to you're local riding stables and ask them if they do loans, or if they know of anyone that does, beware with a winter loan also, it cost's more to keep horses in the winter.
I took a horse on loan (without a contract) as a companion to my mare in 98' and it ended really badly ( the horse had turned out to be prone to laminitis, and the owner did not make me aware of it...cost a fortune in treatment which the owner refused to help pay for anything)
Think about what you're doing carefully, for you and the horse, after all that good luck and I hope you get a nice nag!
ttfn ;o)

Answer 7

You should try your local riding schools. Put up an advert there and also in local tack shops.

Also www.newrider.co.uk has a section for people putting their horses out on loan/share for different areas. It is a good site - I found a brilliant sharer for my horse on there.

Good luck

Answer 8

Have a look at www.nfed.com I thinkthe website is. That will list everything you need. We just sold our horse on there. There's a fair few for loan etc.

Best of luck love! :) <<>>

Answer 9

I have an interest to horses too. What I say about horses is the best ones in Turkey and the best trainers are in Hungary than Turkey

Answer 10

you could try putting an advert in the local paper. Or ask around at your local yards.

Good luck with your search, keep practicing hard and i'll see you at the 2012 olympics!

Answer 11

Start checking out horse ads in your local feedstores; they post horses all the time. You can also check out www.AgDirect.com and try to find a horse in your area that may be up from leasing.
