Horseless Rider in Stephenville, TX

Hi! I’m a college student, a member of the Tarleton Equestrian Team, and I want to be able to ride more often. I would consider myself an advanced beginner rider, I know enough to be able to ride well, but when it comes to stuff like flying lead changes, training, etc… so I probably wouldn’t do well on an absolute greenie, though I am capable of riding one.

I have been told many times by multiple trainers that I have very soft hands, so no worries about me harming your horse.

I would prefer english, but I’m wanting ride time more than anything, so I’d be willing to ride western if there’s a place near enough.

Also willing to do some barn work in exchange for ride time/lessons.

I would prefer to not travel more than 45 minutes away from Stephenville, TX 76401.

Thanks!

Horseless rider in Marin Co, CA

I just moved here, and I’m looking for an opportunity to ride but can’t afford a lease. I left my own horse back in IN on a lease, and really miss riding! I am planning on finding a barn to train with, but can’t afford more than once weekly lessons, and would love the opportunity to ride more than just in my lessons.

I can ride greenies or young horses, but I won’t ride problem or “crazy” horses. I have mostly ridden hunter/jumpers and used a dressage foundation for training my own horse. I would be happy just hacking out a horse for fun and exercise and not “train” while riding, if that is what is preferred. I will gladly send videos of my riding.

Thanks!

Riderless Horse- Woodbine MD

WB gelding needs someone to ride him 2ish weekdays per week. Local show miles. Very sweet horse that can take a joke. Perfect hunter/EQ mount. Showing possible for the right person. Has shown up to 2’6, easily schools 3’+ at home. Walks down the lines with a super comfy canter. Boarded at a very nice barn with lighted indoor, 3 outdoor rings, and miles of trails and fields. Would ask you to help with the farrier but nothing major. PM for more information! Intermediate to advanced riders only please.

Riderless horse - suburban Richmond, VA

My child/husband/guest horse is sadly underutilized and needs a rider.

11 year old, 14.3 hand, stocky, solid QH gelding, lovely, SAFE, well-broken, comfortable ride, suitable for most level riders. Adjusts beautifully to his rider’s skill level, takes care of beginners, is forward and fun for better riders. Don’t be put off by his height, he is big barreled and up to carrying weight.

I would love someone to ride him on the farm, leg him up while tuning him during the week and perhaps ride out with me on the weekends.

Please PM me for more details

Horseless Riders in Sacramento, CA

posting for a friend…

Husband and wife looking for two trail horses to ride in Sacramento area (north of I-80 preferably, like Elverta up to Granite Bay area). Need to be able to ride to trails as they are trailerless. Don’t really care about arena time or lessons. Would be willing to work out a lease situation, just want to be able to trail ride together a couple times a week. Husband doesn’t have a whole lot of riding experience, wife has ridden English pleasure since she was young.

PM me if you know of anyone who might have a situation that could work for them. TIA!

Horseless Rider - NE TN

Need to be ~30 mins. from Johnson City - weekends or if in the evenings have access to lighted arena or indoor, since I work til 5-5:30ish. Both of mine are on pasture retirement right now. I work weekly with a noted h/j trainer/MFH but it’s not enough w/o additional saddle time. I’m just looking for something sane to flat and work on 2 point with, couple of times a week.

Riderless Horse - DC/Maryland Suburbs

I work full time and I have an 8yo TB (unraced, but still on the greener side) in the Montgomery County area who could use an extra rider occasionally (1-2 weekdays + when I travel for work). He’s primarily an eventer, but we board at a dressage barn - looking for someone to ride him outside in the field and get him out of the ring a bit, though we have an indoor available for dark/bad weather/etc. He’s a good guy and a very flashy mover, though still green and not suitable for a beginner. Looking for a confident, experienced rider who likes the TB personality! PM me for more details

Horseless rider in Chapel Hill, NC

Hello,

I’m a horseless dressage rider in Chapel Hill, NC. I’ve trained/shown through fourth level and have worked with some really good trainers/clinicians. I can flat hunter/jumpers, too.

I haven’t ridden in a couple of years and now is the time to get back into things. I’m less interested in a lease, but I am open to taking lessons or doing clinics with your horse.

Please PM me if at all interested.

Thanks!

Working student wanted - Bucks County, PA

Thought I would see if anyone is interested in a particular situation. I am a new trainer looking for a “working student” I do evening chores (turn-out or turn-in) on thursday & friday evenings at the barn where I board. It takes about 2 hours, time depends on time of year. I have access to their school horses. So looking for someone to help with my chores in exchange for a lesson or just riding. You would just have to pay the barn’s $10 ring fee. I do dressage and eventing. Good opportunity for someone looking to get more involved in horses and learn about care, not just taking a weekly lesson. Person should be an adult or mature teenager.
Could lead to a lot of different opportunities, including trips to BCHP, shows, leasing, etc.

Best to contact me through my facebook page but will try to check my pms here.

Thanks - please delete if this is inappropriate for thread.

Seeking time in the saddle - Buffalo, NY

Just moved to Buffalo, NY two weeks agp. Can’t afford to board my horse out here, but I’m already having a hard time not riding - I would love to find a horse to hack and would certainly love to show around the area. Also willing to take lessons over fences, but I just need to get in the saddle! You can PM me for more info if you know of anyone!

Doesn’t matter the breed or the discipline, I’ll happily ride it!
