Riderless Horses and Horseless Riders--matchmaking service!

I have just moved to Gainesville, FL, and have sadly had to leave my horses at home (in Australia). I was wondering if there was anyone in the area (near UF) that needed their horses / ponies exercised ? I have over 10 years of riding experience, and am petite (5’2) so am able to ride both ponies and horses. I competed in english show classes back in Australia. I am on a 3 year contract at UF, and so will be staying in the area for the next few years. Thanks :slight_smile:

I’m technically not horseless, but my current horse is in semi-retirement and I’m looking for something to ride! Located near Milwaukee, WI. I’ve been riding since I was 8, I’ve done hunter/jumpers (jumped up to about 3’), western pleasure/horsemanship and currently am more focused on dressage. I don’t want to ride anything crazy, but I don’t mind green horses. I’d love to ride something dressage-y :wink:

Lovely bombproof QH gelding looking for a rider, Richmond, Va area

My guest horse needs a rider, and I need a riding buddy.

I have a wonderful child/husband/guest horse, a sturdy stocky foundation QH type, who is not being used. I would love for someone to flat him a couple times during the week and ride him out with me on the weekends.

Horse is easy and uncomplicated, but would prefer someone who is comfortable riding out and moving on a little.

Horseless: Woodinville, WA

For awhile I had so many horses to ride I couldn’t keep up. Just so happens that all my options seemed to dry up at the same time.

I ride primarily english (hunters), I’ve dabbled in dressage but would be in the training/first level area and the past year I’ve been exercising a couple of western pleasure horses (spur slow). So I have a wide range of knowledge.

Would be willing to do some light barn chores in exchange for some ride time.

Damascus, MD

12 year old WBx gelding available for full or half lease in Damascus, MD. Showed in hunters/eq over the summer, but has also done some eventing and dressage. No vices. Boarded at a great barn with lots of friendly people and experienced trainers. Indoor ring, 2 outdoors, and lots of trails, so plenty of places to ride!

Horseless Rider in North Alabama

Hey all!

I’m a 28 year old located in Huntsville, AL looking for a horse to ride when I’m not at school or working. I’ve ridden through Training Level eventing (3’3" jumping) and through 1st level in dressage, although I’ve schooled some second and third level movements. Most recently (the past year) I’ve competed a gelding through novice, schooling training.

I’m not picky, I’d be happy with a horse I could spend a day in the woods with. I don’t have much money but I’m happy to barter work/housesitting/tutoring (I’m a junior year chemical engineering major and currently have a 3.74 GPA so if you have kids who need help I’m happy to be of use!). Please PM me with anything you might have! Green is fine, I was a working student with a local upper level eventer for 2.5 years and have worked with several green horses successfully. I can provide great references if they are required.

Thank you for your consideration!

Horseless rider- not necessarily looking to ride

Located in Fort Collins, CO but willing to travel to outlying areas. Looking to spend some time in a barn doing some grooming and/or other things you need done! Have an oldie that needs some extra love?

I can ride, however it is not a necessity or top priority. Will provide references if needed.

Have experience as paid work in a barn, hunter/jumper and dressage background. No compensation expected, simply looking for barn time.

Horseless Rider in Seattle Washington

Hi! I am hoping there is magically someone out there who needs a horse exercised. I have not ridden for about five years. Prior to that, I was a working student at an eventing barn, and an active pony clubber specializing in dressage. I really miss it. I miss working around horses, cleaning barns, caring for animals, of course, riding! I am not particularly brave or fit at this time, so I would not want to ride anything that is not reliable until I got into the swing of things but I am hard working and have a lot of experience working around a lot of different animals with different temperaments.

Horseless Rider - MN

Adult rider in MN looking to pick up a few extra rides. Primarily ridden hunter/jumpers, currently starting dressage lessons. Am thinking that maybe eventing might be my next horse adventure - so some exposure there would be a blast. Rode IHSA in university, was schooling 3’6"+ until I moved to France for a year to teach english. Love the mares and the greenies. My own horses are on a rehab schedule through the winter and I am starting to miss riding some greenies and jumping. Willing to do barn work, groom, clean tack etc. in exchange for rides. Primarily looking to stay in the Shakopee/Prior Lake AND/OR Minnetonka/Delano areas. Thought I’d put some feelers out there to just see what was around. Thanks! I can provide pictures/videos/references if needed.

Horseless Rider in Malheur County, Oregon (right on Idaho border)

23 yo looking for horse(s) needing exercise/someone needing a trail riding buddy near the Oregon/Idaho border along I-84. I’m short and light, could easily ride bigger ponies. I prefer Western, but have ridden English and have experience with trail riding, gaming, arena work, and some jumping. I won’t ride the crazies, so must be sane (no rearing/bucking), but willing to help put miles on a green horse. Can provide references.

Send me a PM. :slight_smile:

Horseless Rider Erlagen, Bavaria, GER

I have a close friend who is spending some time in Germany for college. She is looking for a horse to either lease (pay) or ride. She is a good rider (has done Prelim eventing) and is a wonderful horsewoman and has a few of her own back in the States. She speaks a little German, and is not very picky but would prefer a somewhat tall (16+) mount that is sensible. Doesn’t have to know a lot, she is just looking for some quality time with a horse. You can email me or PM me here if you have any leads.
