Riderless Horses and Horseless Riders--matchmaking service!

TB looking for more work - South Shore,MA/Providence, RI

My TB just needs more rides - looking for an intermediate/advanced horseless rider to ride my TB 1-2x a week.

9 y/o TB gelding, 16.1hh for H/J or as a dressage prospect.

Needs a confident rider with a strong, quiet seat, lots of leg, and quiet hands.

There are also trails on the property backing up to a reserve, but he hasn’t gone out on trails in 2 years - I did ride him down a rural highway once as a last resort on a trail ride and he was a great leader.

Barn located about 45-50 minutes from Boston or 15-20 minutes from Providence.

Email for more info.

Horseless Rider in Northern NJ

I’m going to be 18 in a month, and have been riding for about nine years. The last two years I’ve only been riding on and off, due to being unable to pay for lesson expenses. I used to compete, stopped shortly after reaching Pre-Children’s level, and can jump from 2’6"-2’9", and willing to go even higher. I’ve worked with green horses and ponies, and have helped train a few over fences, on the flat, etc. I’ve also worked at riding camps and have experience teaching lessons. I am also experienced with grooming, tacking up, etc. I’m only 4’11", so any size horse/pony will be a good fit for me.

I’m looking for someone who needs their horse exercised, or someone who is willing to work out riding in exchange for work, mucking stalls, grooming, etc. I am very open to anything–I just want to ride!

Horseless Rider in Minneapolis, MN

I am a 29 yr old woman looking to get back into riding. I started riding when I was 10, was an active rider until I was 23, then it became very off and on (due to where I was living - NYC). A couple of years ago, I took some lessons to brush up, but then I moved again. I am small (5’2" and thin), so am most comfortable on ponies and smaller horses, but will also ride anything. I have soft hands and am patient. At my old stable, I was known for being the smallest adult who could get on the bratty ponies who were taking advantage of younger riders. I stopped taking lessons because I left the workforce to go to graduate school (graduating next spring, woohoo!).

I live in a western twin cities suburb, and am willing to drive at most 45 minutes one way. I would be willing to do barn chores in exchange for any riding time. Heck, I’ll just groom until you trust me. I miss being around horses.

Need rider for medium pony in North Salem NY

I have a 7 year old medium pony hunter prospect that needs some extra rides! I live in the city and can only make it out about twice a week between work and grad school. She is still a little green, just needs more consistency in her workload. I’m 5’4" and don’t have a problem riding her, though she is on the small side at 13.1. She’s a super sweet pony and would love the extra attention Please PM me if interested!

I would be interested in riding your horse

Hello,

My name is Alysha Tibbetts. I have ridden horses for awhile and I would enjoy riding your horse. I live in Littleton. Please contact me at sjtibbetts@gmail.com or 267-772-1705 so that I can find out more about riding your horse. Where is your horse boarded?

Thank you,
Alysha

I’ve got a 15 year old, 15.3 hand, gray TB gelding that is super out of shape. He’s on pasture board in Littleton. They do have a lighted indoor and outdoor arena and lots of trails (although he’s a terrible trail horse, but may get better with some work!) - it’s a good quiet barn, but not a show or hunter/jumper barn. He’s very happy there.

Just looking for someone who might want a horse to hack around. I need someone with experience as he can get hot and a little spooky at times. He’s got his quirks, but is a pretty good boy and well broke despite being out of shape. I showed him in the Childrens then Low A/O jumpers before stopping showing about 4 years ago. I’ve owned him since he was 3.

He’s a fun horse to ride and you wouldn’t need to pay me anything - maybe just chip in on grain every once in awhile.

Send me a PM if you’re interested - thanks![/QUOTE]

Looking for a horse that would be at the NYS Breeders Show during the State Fair on August 25th - I would like to find a horse that could handle the All Breed Ladies Sidesaddle class and that’s it! Would prefer to be able to school on it before hand!

Both a riderless horse and a horseless rider in SE TN

I sold my H/J when i moved to TN about 3 years ago and brought with me my 16 yr old TWH from PA (ironic right?) Anyway Honey is a fantastic horse to cover in glitter, braid, give kisses, and have the kids read books to but, she has some hormone issues and is suitable for trails only as she is horribly ring sour.

I also have a 8-10yr old arab mare Jazz that is great on trails not really spooky and actually a bit lazy. she will work in a ring fine but has foundered and can only do flat work. She has been off for a few years and is a little rusty but sweet natured.

OR if you’d prefer I have a 16hh grade (appendix?) mare that is slowww and quiet and forgiving under saddle named Ginger. A little bit of a ofe but good to build confidence on.

Ginger and Jazz are available to ride most days and are my beginner lesson horses (Jazz need a few more successful rides before the kiddo’s ride her) it would be a good opportunity to drag you hubby or SO out on an easy trail ride.

Honey is available to the right person to ride or to anyone that just wants to give a horse kisses, she was horribly neglected and abused up one side and down the other before I got her she was actually given to me by a rescue that couldn’t handle her 6 years ago, if your interested i’ll give you more info.

All three mares are chestnut (and the gelding at the farm) But if you look on my website honey is the flaxen mane, and ginger has the smaller strip, and Jazz doesn’t have pictures up.

Now why would someone who has 3 horses want to ride your horse?

Because since i’ve been down here i have not jumped anything more than a log and it’s killing me. I miss riding hunters and jumpers more than anything else. I have owned horses for 12 years, managed barns for 8 and been around horses but not necessarily riding my entire life. I have taken jumping, dressage, and gymkhana lessons have a good seat and soft hands. I’m interested in schooling, hacking, or showing anything that you don’t have time for or that may need a little work. I have riding, character, and vet references.
Thanks!

Riderless Horse in MARYLAND

Looking for someone to half lease my horse, but when school starts up, I won’t be able to ride as often, so rider can have full use of him.

He is about 16.2-16.3 grey, 13 y/o, Trakehner gelding by Induc. Did hunters, dressage, and eventing. Hacks out alone or in a group. Not spooky, quiet and easy to ride. Beginners have ridden him in the past.

I am located in Anne Arundel County. Can be moved to your choice of barn for the right rider.

Horseless in New Jersey

I am looking for a riderless horse (or horses) within an hour drive of Princeton, NJ. I rode professionally (H/J) for many years, have competed in big eq finals and ridden jumpers through 1.5m. Now due to health, not interested in jumping big jumps or getting on wild and crazy ones any more, but I’m still capable of good flatwork or jumping over low fences. Honestly, I’d be perfectly happy just going out on a trail ride occasionally! Just in need of some horse time, and temporarily in a location where I am not connected with the local horse scene.

Horseless rider in SF Bay, CA

Hello! I’m a 21 year old college student who is home in the bay area for summer break until September 23rd, at which time I’ll be at school in Santa Cruz. Before school starts up again, I’d like to spend more time with/around horses.

Though I’ve taken lessons for five years (switching to different instructors set me back quite a bit), I still consider myself to be a beginner rider. I am currently taking regular lessons with Jec Ballou, setting up a stronger foundation for riding.

I would love an opportunity to ride an older, experienced horse that perhaps hasn’t had much to do lately, or even just spend quality one-on-one time with horses (grooming, handwalking, ect). I would be willing to do chores around the barn in exchange for horse time. I’m a responsible person who respects any and all boundaries set down.

I live in the Lamorinda area, and can travel up to 45 minutes to get to a barn.

Feel free to PM me, email me (ohwahn@ucsc.edu), or reply on this thread.

Thank you for reading!

Experienced Hunter/Jumper rider looking for ride time. Have shown on a B circuit and placed consistently, competed in state level Medal Finals, etc. I was a working student for six years and have ridden all types of horses.

Horseless rider in Tucson, AZ

I am a 27 year old former eventer/pony clubber (C3 level) looking for a horse to ride in Tucson, AZ. I had to give up my horse in 2008 to attend grad school, and am still going through withdrawl! I competed successfully at the novice level, and was schooling at the training level. I have a solid, competent riding background, sufficient knowledge of horse care, and am looking for any opportunity to get on a horse! I am willing to exchange stall-cleaning, tack cleaning, or other barn chores for rides. If you have any opportunities please email me at shale16@gmail.com. Thank you!

Riderless Horse in 5-College MA area

I have a lovely, green 4yo TB mare who will be moving to a barn with an indoor for the cooler months and could really benefit from some extra riding…I’m in my last year at school and just don’t have enough time!

She’s a sweetheart, completely sound, I have a truck and trailer and am completely open to some showing opportunities. I am gearing her towards eventing, but she is young and athletic and can go in any direction you’d like. Bombproof on trails with a buddy, safe and reasonable when alone.

Send me a PM if you’re interested, I don’t check this thread often but my PMs get bounced to my email!

Also, I do have a 15 yo QH gelding who is terribly out of shape right now but is a solid 1st level horse when in work, and can probably go farther than that if you put the effort in. He’s got a touch more difficult personality than my mare so will be harder to find a rider for, but I am also open to someone riding him if they’re looking for a horse with more experience.

Both are located in the Amherst area, close to UMass/Smith/Mt. Holyoke/Hampshire/Amherst. Open to a college student, or someone older!

My plans for the future changed quite a bit. So now I will spend another 6 months in the Tampa/Sarasota area in 2013.
My last riding experience with on OTTB was very pleasant and I’m quite open for anything.
I’m an dressage rider pretty solid in first and second level. it would be great to some riding opportunity…[/QUOTE]
