About

Are you an experienced equestrian without your own horse to ride?

The Situation: A 4-acre hobby farm with 1 quarter horse, two goats and some chickens. Looking for very experienced farm/barn person as well as very good, competent rider. Seeking an honest, dependable, responsible person. Why help needed (Owner health problems).
The Situation, My OFFER; You get to ride my horse anytime in exchange for morning feeds and light stall cleaning 4-5/days week, Weekdays.
Our Horse- Skittles Really nice friendly, 18 yr old QH/gelding. He is healthy and sound but is getting too fat! Needs love, grooming and affection. His pasture mate died last year, he's lonely and needs more attention. Goats; Eve; 8 yr. old LaMancha doe, ( a little ornery). Franklin, 9yr old wonderful, sweet Nigerian, dwarf. (He's a lover! like a pet dog!)
Where You can Ride? Have round- pen for lunging plus 2-acre flat field/lawn for riding. Minnechaug Mt. across street for possible trail riding. Other trail riders nearby.
Big Red Barn 100-year-old dairy barn, in need of TLC. Open area where horse and goats live together free to come and go at will. Not typical stalls.
DAILY FEEDING, and Stall clean up. I need help with daily feeding and stall clean up. (Takes 10 min to a half hour.) Then grooming and /or riding or lunging. EXTRA. Lower barn needs clean up before winter. Lots of mini-construction jobs started, not finished.
RIDING Skittles can be ridden, English or western, or bareback. Used to bit- less bridle. Prefers trotting or cantering to walking, so he needs a firm but gentle hand. No rough riders! Friendly, decent ground manners. Needs firm hand, can be pushy.
