Hampshire Newbie!

[hackedoff]

Hi there Just thought I'd introduce myself....I'm (almost!) 18, from Portsmouth and have been riding since I was 8 (though with a small break recently as I had to give up my share horse due to working weekends )

I'm currently on the hunt for a share, but it's proving tricky seeing as I can't do weekends and Portsmouth isn't well known for it's horsey community, so do let me know if you know of anything!

See you around

Hi - have you tried putting adverts around? Shedfield Nursey always have alot on the wall - maybe worth a go? Good luck

I am surprised as I thought there is a load of horsey people live there (between Portmouth-Southampton-Bishop Waltham)

[hackedoff]

There are Wiltshire Man! My old share was in Swanmore, only a few minutes from Bishops Waltham. The only issue is contacts...everything seems to go by word of mouth. I'm doing the best I can but it's tricky as I live around 14 miles from Bishops Waltham way

welcome, we are in chichester, usually ads for shares on the board at hazleton feeds in horndean, and dunnings is worth a look. what experience have you got?

[hackedoff]

I've never been up to Hazleton before...perfect excuse!

Essentially, I'm you're basic happy hacker! I'm perfectly capable walk, trot, canter, gallop, basic lateral work.....we'll not talk about jumping as I tend to end up covered in sand! I'm an 80 year old in a 17 year olds body and would much rather be mooching about the countryside than aiming for newcomers or the like! A lot of horses I seem to be seeing are aimed at competition riders, or someone looking for a project. I'm fine handling high spirited horses and general pratting about but I wouldn't class myself as experienced enough to take on anything with any real issues.
