Do you, or anyone you know of, own a horse that you need a bit of help with in terms of riding, exercising or generally taking care of?

For the past few years Mrs Dizeee has been assiting others who have limited time on their hands to ride and exercise their animals. This has always been of a mutual benefit, i.e the owner has their horse excercised/cared for and Lisa gets to ride on a fairly frequent basis without having to continually pay for the privelage. (i.e no money is ever involved).

It doesnt matter how frequent / infrequent one's needs, and because of shiftwork there is great flexibility in terms of when ths can be done.

Lisa has ridden for most of her life, and has been doing this for the past few years now, so I am putting out feeler's to find people in the Surrey area who may be interested.

Uncomplicated needs / All idea's welcome. We are based in Woking, but anywhere within a decent radius is fine.

Thanks smile

P.S How often are you on Holiday? I only ask out of interest - it doesnt matter if its only once a year, Lisa would cherish the chance to ride.

In case it sounds like we are desperate wannabe's ; were are not. Just trying to fit Lisa's passion in and around our shiftwork and financial limitations.

As per original post, only everyone can benefit in the right circumstances smile

I'm away a few times a year, a week here, two weeks there etc
my only concern is that my horse is very young and needs someone experienced with youngsters, but we'll play it by ear and as long as she's happy with the responsibility then everything should work out fine smile

Honetly, I'm not that experienced with youngsters. BUT
I am sensible and very keen to learn and have riden young and old & stubborn.
I fully understand that youngsters need a calm & constant training environment.
I will perfectly understand if you feel you need someone with more experience with youngsters, but can only ask you give me a chance! Otherwise I can never gain more experience!!

By the way
YHM!

She does herself a dis-service,

If you imagine Gordon Ramsey to food when he was younger, that's what Dizzy Girl is...

i.e Impressively competent but with potential for more...
