Looking for horses to ride in Bloomington
I rode and trained horses for years, but haven’t had my own horse or access since moving to Bloomington. I don’t make enough money to lease or buy my own, so I was wondering if anybody knew of a place where someone with experience could spend some time around them. I miss them terribly.
I would be thrilled to love on somebody’s horses and exercise them once a week or so.
I’ve got experience with groundwork, dressage training level and level 1, hunter jumpers, western pleasure, showmanship/halter, and trail.
I get that this is a long shot, since I have no monetary funds to offer, but I’ve got experience and time to help out. A dream scenario would be to find someone who is maybe too busy to ride as much as they’d like, and they want someone to help keep their horse in shape and love on them, or someone with a naughty kids pony who needs someone who won’t let them get away with murder anymore.
I’d be absolutely willing to “audition” or “interview” to prove that I’m not insane or making up the fact that I’ve ridden for over 20 years. Just putting feelers out into the world to see what’s possible!
