Looking to lease horse
Hi neighbours,
Do you own a dressage / sport horse and would like for him to get some extra love each week? I am looking for a lease horse for once or ideally twice a week in our local area. I used to ride intensively when I was younger, and this slowed down when I started a family. I was schooled in the Netherlands, where I'm from, primarily in dressage - though have done the odd jump (and loved it). I also guided horse treks and pony camp for a couple of summers when I was around 18 yrs. of age; the best summers ever. I am looking for a sweet natured horse without any serious behavioural issues, one who loves to be pampered / groomed etc. In terms of riding, I love a more forward horse and do not mind the odd cheeky buck - not so keen on slow coaches. ;-) I live halfway between Havelock North village and Waimarama beach, close to Ocean beach, so anywhere close to that would be perfect as I'd come to the site the horse is grazing now for the training & care - at least initially. I am a very responsible adult, greatly care about animals and their wellbeing and just so keen to get back in the saddle on a regular basis. If your horse has potential and you are keen on this, I could train towards doing some (local) competitions but this is not a necessity for me. If this sounds like something that could work for you, or you know someone locally who may be keen, pls let me know.
