riderless horses and horseless riders?

[VCT]

BRiderless Horses in NW PA. 1/2 hour South of Erie. [/B]

Have a couple horses that could use more work.

One is okay for more beginner type/ low confidence type… she is also fun for the more experienced rider and she can use more schooling. IE. she is very safe, but extremely lazy. She needs to work. You need to be able to motivate her. She’s FAT. 14hh, bay mare. Can carry average sized adult fine. She can jump once fit. Honest to small jumps X’s - 2’ … can go higher but needs to get fit fit fit! Awesome on trails.

Other one needs more of a confident intermediate rider or better. Not spooky but is quirky and can be exuberant due to coming back into work. Once in work is a pretty steady dude. Coming back into work after layup. Needs to move into a dressage/HUS career for now. He’s fun and interesting to ride. Challenging without being scary. (No jumping anytime in the near future.) 16hh, gelding.

Both of the above have been to local shows and done well. Both are nice movers, especially the gelding. You can show them at the shows I go to if you want.

Possible have other horses to ride occasionally.

We are currently getting our arenas base/footing professionally done. Trail system is being worked on. Just refitted the XC field, which you could hack on next summer/fall (when the grass has grown in enough). Have large outdoor and small indoor.

What I need from a rider: Commitment to 3x a week min. (most weeks - I know people have lives and things happen). Also would appreciate you giving the horse, and once in a while another horse, a really thorough grooming when you ride. Clean the tack occasionally. Once in a while help tearing down or setting up stadium course would be great too. If you want to occasionally help on days when we are working on the trails, that would be fabulous too.

Please PM if interested or email vitaAThogbackhillfarmDOTcom

Riderless Horse - Gulf Hammock/Morriston FL

I’m devoted to training one horse and I simply don’t have time to ride the other, especially now that it’s getting dark earlier. You could do anything from ground work to trail riding. He’s a super easy going, 16+hh, QH horse that rides in a bosal. I have a round pen and some obstacles on the farm, or trails out the back gate.

Horseless in Charleston, SC

I had to leave my horse at home when the Navy moved me and my husband down here. I’ve been riding for 6 years but have spent the entire time on fairly quiet horses. I was trained english but have not ridden english in about 3 years. Somehow I got converted to barrel racing/trail riding. I am willing to travel to North Charleston, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek, etc.

Riderless KWPN Dressage Schoolmaster

I have a riderless 17’1" stunningly beautiful Dutch Warmblood of imported stock who is trained to 3d level and in need of a kind, gentle, soft-handed dressage rider. In Prince George’s County, Md. 25 minutes from downtown DC. He may be ridden on my farm only and cannot be jumped. My cell is 703 944-9456.

Jasper, GA -lots of opportunities.

Genie needs an experienced rider or driver. She is green but very willing. She is at W/T and a crude canter. She is probably the tallest mare in the world and is a kick to ride but due to her extreme size, experience is a must:
http://www.cieloazure.com/genie.html
Anyone who wants to learn to drive, I can’t hitch her by myself and would love company in driving her. She is a good girl but with a year and a half under cart, she isn’t bombproof. This is the opportunity of a lifetime, if you like big horses. You will probably never get to ride a horse this tall in your life. She is also conformationallly put together “right” and extremely athletic for her size. She has a kind and gentle heart and is much more forward than you might think.

River is a petite, dressage trained morgan, who loves attention and is getting fat in her pasture. She was my son’s mount but he has outgrown her. Due to the bad times in this area, I can’t sell her for peanuts, and I can’t find a decent home and so… she Would LOVE attention and being ridden. She is really pretty, fun, energetic. She needs a teen, or small adult rider. She is not for the complete beginner but she is a great horse for an intermediate or even advanced beginner. she is training level 1 (or she was before she got pastured due to her size limitations and my 5.10 (or 5.11 or is he hitting that six foot mark?) son. She has had some fantastic training and would Love to continue.

I have other opportunities too. With foureen horses (mostly Percherons), if you have the time and desire to ride, drive, groom, hang out, or even train -WE ARE HERE!!! I have babies that just need attention. I have a lifetime of being an animal trainer, horse trainer. We generally don’t have train wrecks here and we are “mature” adults (ergo: the whole DQ/diva thing is not our style).

Come have some fun! We have a serious rider/volunteer shortage here and need people to come and ride, drive and be involved! If you are a complete beginner, I am willing to spend time helping you (it may just be grooming and learning horse care) but this is an opportunity.

Call me!

Riderless horse in MD - South of DC

Located about 35+ minutes south of DC.

11 yr old 17+ hand TB/QH Gelding. Has shown locally in hunters and Pleasure. Goes fine on the trails, can even go alone. Excellent mover. Judges adore him. I just don’t have the time to ride him consistently. Has been out of work for a while. I hopped on him about a week ago for a light hack. He’s the same horse whether you ride him a few times a week or once a month. No lunge, no high energy, he’s quite lazy acutally He’s a very nice horse, it’s a shame he’s unemployed. Located on a private farm. Responsible adults only please. PM for more info or email.

Horseless rider in Philadelphia

(Cross-posting from a thread I posted in Hunter/Jumper)

http://www.chronicleforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?p=3586669#post3586669

I’m here in Philadelphia for school, don’t own a horse right now, but really, really need some horse in my life. I’m not interested in showing, and I’m not interested in buying a horse right now (well, I’m interested; I just can’t). I’ve ridden for thirty years and, despite a lower baseline of fitness than I’d like, I am a strong and capable rider – I’m just a strong and capable rider who has gained quite a few pounds in the last few years (thanks, grad school!) and is working on bringing her fitness level back up. When I was in New York, I was able to ride every weekend in the parks, but Philadelphia doesn’t have a similar option, and the lack of horse is really getting me down. ←(understatement of the year)

My transportation options are somewhat limited, but I’d be willing to rent a car once a week (hell, that’s cheaper than therapy). And I’m willing to do lots of grunt work and spend a ridiculous amount of time grooming and pampering your horse (if I’m renting a car for a day, I’m using it for the whole day!).

As I mentioned, I’m not petite – 5’10", 220-ish (and dropping), so no slender TBs for now! But I am a strong and capable rider with a good seat.

Please PM with any questions!

Horseless Rider in MI

I am currently horseless at the moment. I’m a rider of 20 years experience. Been riding hunter / jumper since I was 5. I like to work with the younger project horses, but am willing to ride anything that needs a good hack. I am a good solid rider. PM with questions.

[Susan_P]

I know someone is Michigan who is just moving on to her own acreage so she can take her horses home. She has a horse that probably needs an extra rider. If you’re near her perhaps you can work something out.
She also has a young horse, maybe he’s a yearling or 2 year old by now. Not sure what she’s doing with him. Anyway, thought there may be a potential relationship there.

If this sounds worth pursuing please email me at Barnmom45@aol.com and I’ll introduce you through emails. I’m in PA. All of her horses are rescues.

Anyone on the west coast?

Horseless rider in northern California (96080). I’m not a pampered princess:winkgrin: I like working hard and getting dirty. I ride english and western. I would love to lease something but honestly I can’t afford to feed a horse right now. I do have time though (I’m a stay-at-home mommy) and a lot of experience.

Riderless horses in Birmingham, Alabama

Need your horsey fix? We’ve got a couple of riderless horses that need exercise, horses in ground training, yearlings, foals, the whole kit and kaboodle. If you don’t want to ride but like to play with foals and/or yearlings, you are certainly welcome to get your baby fix here too. Or just hang out in the country and groom some horses. We like to expose our youngstock to new people - it’s good for them. And it’s always fun to have horsey folks around for some good chat. It might even motivate me to get my butt back in the saddle. :yes:

Horseless Rider-Bethesda, MD

Horseless Rider- Bethesda, MD. I just moved to the Bethesda, MD area and my mare is still in NC (she is actually for sale, so I doubt I will even move her up here). I am trying to find a horse that needs some extra exercise. I have been riding hunters for almost 20 years. I have experience with green horses, but would prefer something more reliable. Please PM if you are in the area and we could help each other out!!
