Catch rider available for Larges at PF

[englishivy]

Hi all, it’s been…it’s been so long since I posted I can’t remember if this type of post is even allowed…

my daughter (16, show age 15) would love to catch ride a large at PF this year. She applied for the Gochman grant but did not win it. Her current large is just getting back to showing after almost a year off to rehab from EPM (she should have a full recovery but it took a bit) so we didn’t even try to qualify her this year.

She’s a petite rider (5’3" 100 lbs) with a nice long leg; she’s a tough cookie and can ride the sensitive quirky ones. Very coachable. We are happy to make trips to ride and/or show the pony prior to PF to ensure a good experience for both.

2023 has been so rough for her so I decided to put this possibility out into the universe!

I’ve got nothing, but fingers crossed for her!

Have you posted on the pony finals page on Facebook? Maybe someone there will have an idea.

Good luck!

Are you looking for a lease?

[englishivy]

We are actually looking for a true Catch ride situation, although we’d be more than happy to pay for entries and things like that at the show. My kiddo has got a great head on her shoulders and understands that although we would love the experience and opportunity, a lease is,not some thing we can afford on a trainers kid budget.

Thanks. I know it’s a long shot but you never know what can happen. Fingers crossed.
