Riderless horse near Saratoga Springs, NY
Horse is currently leased.
I have a 16.2 TB/WB x.
He is well schooled and knows his job. He is not suitable for jumping, but is perfect for someone that wants to do flat work. He would also make a lovely lower level dressage mount. He loves to trail ride.
Would be great for a less competitive rider that wants a well schooled horse. He has exceptional ground manners and is very kind. I have too many horses and not enough time to keep them all riden.
17h 15 yr old TB near Auburn, AL needs rider!
Big, sweet and fun horse for beginner or advanced rider. He has done the hunters and still has great jump. Loves cross country and trail rides. He would appreciate the occasional ride and is a real gentleman. Great for AU student who didn’t bring her horse to school and wants to ride as I am only 20 minutes from campus!

Horseless Rider - Philadelphia, PA (Dressage/Eventing background)
Hello,
I am looking to ride a bit on the weekends, as during the week days my work as an attorney kepts me very very occupied. However, I miss riding immensely and would love the opportunity, as I sold my horse a few years ago and have since taught a few beginner classes here and there, but have not really been able to return to ridding consistantly (but would like to!).
I have a strong background in dressage and eventing, and have ridden since I was a very little girl. I am now 30. Eventing, i competed through training level. For dressage, I competed in college at 1st level, but was training through 3rd. I still have all of my old tack, including saddles etc etc. I am happy to work with a green, or seasoned horse, and more than happy to simply work on polishing some of the basics with a horse that is a little out of training. Ideally, the commute from Philly would not be more than 40 minutes. I am not looking for anything special, just the opportunity to ride a bit at a location that is not too far from Philadelphia.
Thanks in advance,
Emily
How far are you from Philadelphia?
Athens, GA-Horses could use another rider…
I have several rideable horses, and wouldn’t mind some company to ride them. They are mostly dressage horses, but a few have had former Hunter/Jumper or Eventing careers. Have a large dressage arena, and some jumps available as well. Must be at least an Intermediate rider, no beginners please.
Everything from OTTB’s to Warmbloods of every size. 15.2 to 17.1hh! Mares & Geldings, some more green than others.
PM for more info.
Horseless rider, Chelmsford, MA
I am an intermediate rider with relatively quiet hands, a decent seat and lots of patience. Spent the last 5 years training my older mare with the goal of dressage and light jumping but most of the time went to just rehabbing her. Finally retired her. If you have something that needs exercising within a half hour pm me. We can talk and see if I might be a good fit with your horse. (It probably sounds like I don’t know too much but I’d rather undersell than oversell myself. Until I talk to someone and see the horse I won’t know if I will be a good fit.)
Oklahoma City area experienced rider
I have recently relocated to OKC, and will be horseless for awhile longer but would love to help someone keep a horse exercised. I will be going back to Omaha for the Labor Day weekend and will retrieve my dressage saddle and saddle seat cutback, but until then, saddle would need to be provided by horse owner too. I am short and lightweight, (just under 100 pounds) so I can ride ponies too. On the other hand, big horses are fun, so don’t hesitate to contact me just because you have a big horse!
I am experienced in all 3 English seats, but due to my age, do not wish to jump anything higher than 18" - 2 feet at this point. So, if any of the H/J or eventer folks need a critter exercised, I would prefer just to do flatwork. On the age thing, I have good aerobic capacity, but figure I am at the point at which I no longer believe I am going to bounce if I come off. I always wear a helmet. I have diplomatic hands, and will once again have a velcro seat after I have a few rides under my belt to get legged up again. I have ridden many greenies, but I do not wish to ride a horse that is known to be inclined to rear. I do enjoy a horse that has a go-forward attitude! (I have dealt with bolters but prefer just plain ordinary ‘go-forward’, LOL.)
Edited to add, I am an amateur and wish to remain one, but here is an example of some of my training skills you would acquire for free in addition to getting your horse exercised: I have experience transitioning horses from snaffle or pelham to double bridle, can help a greenie learn about canter leads, and if any of you saddle seat folks need a horse to learn about equitation patterns, that is also one of my skillsets. I have successfully rehabbed a bolter (the key was consistent and immediate reward by rein release for any slowing down, to the point that the horse in question became happy to canter slowly).
I am familiar with running, standing, and German martingales but I do want to let everyone know, I flatly refuse to ride a horse in draw reins, and I hate Rollkur! I adhere to the classical dressage principles (no matter what saddle I am in) of wanting the horse to be balanced between my legs and hands in self-carriage. I know that collection comes from the haunch, not hauling on the horse’s mouth with the critter heavy on the forehand. I understand that before the horse can be expected to show collection, a lot of long and low work with emphasis on throughness must be done. So, if any of that resonates with your philosophy, you can be sure I will ride your horse as carefully and diplomatically as you would!
Horseless Rider - Brunswick, Maine
I am a college student who would be honored to provide your horse with some exercise and loving attention! I have been riding for close to fifteen years and competed up to the three foot equitation as a junior. I would call myself a solid intermediate - I am not a natural talent, but I am patient, hardworking, and have had lots of instruction and experience on all types of horses. I am short enough (5 feet) to ride small ponies but also showed a 17.2 hand horse for four years.
I know Maine is a little bit of a long shot, but thanks in advance and feel free to PM me with any questions.
NOVA- TB mare for half lease
15.3H 2005 TB mare available for on-site half lease ONLY.

Trail Ride in the Big South Fork! Near Jamestown, TN
I have greenies to work for the next few years, and my trained horses are not getting as much time as they could use.
I have two solid trail TWH’s - take your pick - and will provide trailer service to and from trailheads around Big South Fork. You need not have experience with gaited horses but you do need to be a reasonably good rider with experience. I’ll probably be riding a greenie with you for some of the time.
The two TWH’s to choose from are very different. One is western trained, moves very well off your seat, legs, and neck reins. This one is the smoothest and most sensitive, and he’s on the smaller side (14.2). The second is very large (16.1), goes english, is more of the dull type TWH, although he still has some GO to him. He is constantly mistaken for a TB; he has a beautiful show quality trot as well as smooth gaits.
Either of these horses can be shown (FOSH, NWHA, gaited dressage, or 3 phase event shows only) as well, I’ll provide transport, you pay for your classes and personal expenses. They’ll need more ringwork to brush up, both have had some, but only the first has been shown in the past. Arena is a few miles from the house. The second would do well in trotting shows OR gaited shows.
These are nice horses, well kept and well behaved. I’d be happy to send pictures and video if interested.
Riderless Haflinger in ISO Rider–MIDDLE TENN.
Maggie is a 6-year old Haflinger mare. She is mostly a companion to my mare Destiny, but is about to be started under saddle. She needs to be useful as well as a good friend. 
I will be riding her some, but I really don’t have time to keep 2 horses in work, and I’m just now starting back w/ my mare.
So . . . Maggie is ISO a friend/rider. She is 13.2-13.3hh, but built like a brick house, so she can handle a rider up to 150 lbs or so. For liability reasons, you must be 18!
I live in Southern Middle TN, near Franklin, Spring Hill, and Leiper’s Fork. I’m looking for someone willing to put 3-4 days a week in, and if you want to start now, she needs tons of ground work prior to being started. If you have some experience starting horses, we can even skip the horse starter and do it ourselves (I have started many horses, but it’s something that needs 2 people!).
Please PM me if interested. You don’t have to be the best rider in the world, but since Maggie is currently unstarted and will still be very green even if she goes to the trainer, you DO need some experience w/ green horses. I do mostly dressage but am open to a hunter/jumper/eventing rider. Maggie would be the cutest eventer ever!
Here’s a photo.

Horseless Rider – Bahama/Rougemont NC
Horseless Rider in Bahama/Rougemont NC area. I have taken hunter/jumper lessons in past but have had time off from a dedicated lesson schedule until just recently. As I have resumed lessons and would like to return to previous fitness level and also practice what I learn from week to week, am inquiring as to whether anyone in the area is looking for a person to exercise their horse or serve as a companion for trail/exercise riding in the case that said owner has multiple horses. Thank you for your consideration 
Green But Quiet Gelding Near Ashburn, VA
I am looking for someone who has time to come out on a regular basis during the week (not looking for a weekend rider please) and hack out with me and/or work in the ring. I have a super quiet and sensible horse for the right person and we have stellar trails. Looking for someone who is a seasoned horse person and responsible. Send me a PM if you are interested and are sincere about having the time.
Dressage Rider Wanted
Hi,
I have a lovely 7 yr old Friesian stallion. Yes, I said stallion. He is a gentleman with references! He has been worked under saddle since he was 3-4 yr old. He is very quiet and extremely smart and willing. He will be in training for the next 30 days, but anytime after that, I will be looking for an experienced rider interested in keeping him in training and showing. I am financially limited so I can’t do the training and showing myself. He has a lot of potential that I hate to see wasted! I would be interested in doing a full lease or partial lease, with options of moving him to a training facility. He is now located in Temecula California. Please send me a PM
SIncerely

2 Horses for lease in Newnan, GA
I have two nice, well-trained mares in Newnan, GA that are available to lease. One is a holsteiner who is a lower level dressage horse. She can also jump, jump xc and trail ride. She is 16-16.1 hands. If someone wanted to take lessons with a trainer and compete, she could be alot of fun. She has lots of talent.
The other is an AQHA mare, about 15.2. She can ride english or western but has mostly been trail ridden and dressage. I showed her in hunters about 8 years ago but she could also show and be good for learning on in lessons.
Both mares are very sweet, kind and sound. They are 15 and 16 yrs old. They are very special to me and I will be particular about matching them with the right person.
Pics and more details available but please contact me via email at heidicald@ yahoo.com. Thanks for your interest.
2 Riderless Horses in Knoxville, TN (or Free Lease)
I have two lovely geldings that are fat and bored and need to be ridden. Okay, that’s not entirely true, they’re probably perfectly happy enjoying the easy life but they need to go back to work and unfortunately my time commitments don’t allow me to do that right now.
I am currently looking for a new place to board and once I find that they will be available for riding without free leasing but at the moment the place where they are staying is not very ‘outside rider’ friendly so they would need to be moved off-site. They can be kept in a pasture situation and I will be happy to provide supplements/blankets/etc.
I would prefer to free lease one or both of them into a working situation so that they are paying for their own upkeep but I may be able to cover a portion of board/care/upkeep depending. We’ll just have to talk about it. They can be shown, trail ridden, whatever you want to try. I can’t provide transportation at this time but I’m a great cheerleader at shows!
14 y.o. gelding trained to 2nd level dressage. 16.2 hds. 100% sound. Very light and responsive to aids. Needs a confident rider as he can be a little hot. Not a bucker or anything naughty, he just gets goosey under saddle if you are unclear with your directions and has enough loft and impulsion that it can be intimidating to a shy rider. Leads, loads, bathes, ties, clips, lunges off of voice, etc. Show experience with scores in the high sixties/low seventies. You’re welcome to teach him to jump if you want to, I’ve popped him over a few logs in the pasture but that’s it. I have played around with him in a more hunter mind set and he -can- do it but he’s going to need guidance.
11 y.o. gelding. 17hds. FANCY! Plenty of under saddle experience but without any particular direction, therefore I still consider him ‘unfinished’. W/T/C under saddle, knows his leads, loves to trail ride and will go out alone or in a group. Hopped over a few logs on the trail but again, not trained to jump. He’s a big boy and can go any direction but needs a refresher and polishing. Absolutely the best personality of any horse I’ve ever worked with. Leads, loads, ties, clips, ground drives, lunges, bathes, will leave his buddies to visit with his person, etc. This one thrives off of being someones pet! I would advise an experienced rider just because of his lack of polish.
Horse for possible lessons - Frederick, MD
I have two very nice horses I’d consider letting someone use for lessons with my (or an approved) trainer on our farm.
These ARE NOT lesson horses, so it would be a good opportunity to learn on a show horse. One is jumping quite solid and very good flatwork, the other is started over fences but more extensive dressage training. Neither is for a beginner or someone just learning to ride, and it would have to be a good fit. Horses are in work and actively training. PM me for more details.
