Horse share wanted, Dunmow, Essexin Dunmow

I’m hoping to find a like-minded owner who is looking for a bit of horse help! After 20+ years of riding my sister's and friends' horses as if they were my own, I’ve found myself without a horse to dote on. I’m looking for a local share 1–2 days a week (ideally Fridays and Sundays) with someone who values a reliable, capable pair of hands.I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 18 years on private properties—first with a close friend for 13 years and then my sister for 5yrs. Because of that, I’m very used to being self-sufficient and just getting on with things. I’m really looking for a private yard or a very quiet, easy-going small yard where I can just turn up, do the chores, and enjoy the horse without any "yard nonsense" or politics.I’m 5'11", so I’m ideally looking for something 16hh+ that’s forward and fun but a safe hack alone. I love hacking out, though I’m happy to do a bit of schooling or jumping if there are facilities. I’m very much a "leave me to it" person; I love being completely independent and able to visit without needing someone else there to let me in or unlock tack rooms.I’m the type of rider who treats every horse as my own—I’m the one who will always double-check the water and make sure everything is tucked up just right before I leave! I’m happy to help with all the usual chores, have my own rider’s insurance, and am happy to provide a small financial contribution too.I’ve honestly thought about buying my own, but I just don't want the full-time commitment at this stage. I’m just looking for a weekly horse fix with a laid-back owner who wants peace of mind that their horse is in good hands. If that sounds like you, I’d love to have a chat!
Happy to help with chores and give a small contribution towards costs for my days. Read more
