Question:
i’m going to college in september to do ANC Horse management before i move on to a degree in behaviour and nutrition but i haven’t ridden regularly or almost a year!
before that i had my own horses and was working at various yards.
unfortunatly i can’t afford regular lessons and i have no friends with their own horses. does anyone know a way i can get back in the saddle before september?
i have contacted all the local riding schools and because of insurance they can’t do work for ride.
also yes i am in the uk (essex)
i have looked into part loaning and i still can’t afford it – i can just about afford bus fare to a yard
i live away from my parents and it’s not possible to borrow money

Lease a horse- a lot of people are leasing for cheap right now because they need extra money to pay for their horses feed and board. You can look on craigs list (I wouldn’t really recommend), or check at the big boarding facilities (that may have arenas you can practice in or trail riding near the premisis) or at a local riding school. You can do a partial lease where you could ride a couple of days a week for cheaper. Also, if the “horse” is under 14 hands and you are a small rider and don’t mind (since technically it is very close to the size of a horse), it’s considered a pony and is cheaper to lease.
One other option: I did this when I was a young teen. I helped a horse trader to work with “unruly” horses before she would sell them to potential buyers. It was risky and you never knew what the background of the horse was, but it was rewarding to help a horse to grow. It was free since I was the one riding and “training” the horse.
Also, are there any riding schools for the handicapped where you could volunteer this summer. Perhaps you could help exercise the horses and they would pay you for your travel.
If you can’t afford the bus fees or the rental, you’ll have to work to ride. You could incorperate riding into your job if you are good enough.
Look in your area for stables that would be willing to do a trade. Offer to work certain hours in exchange for lessons.
i have a horse and it would be terrible never to ride him!
erm.. i rode when i was little and i stopped for about 5 years but i soon remembered stuff which was good.You could ask you mum and dad to lend you some money or grandma or something couldn’t you?
Try asking a friend who has a horse if you can borrow their horse a couple of times a week.
It sounds like you’ve had quite a bit of experience with horses. If you are looking to get back in the saddle without spending money, you should do work for rides. It’s a brilliant way to get to be around horses- you do mucking out/tack cleaning/grooming e.t.c. and in return you get free rides!
Go to your local tack shop or equestrian centre to find someone who needs a helping hand- horse owners always do. Also, advertise on Newrider.com’s “wanted” section.

Hope i helped, good luck
i would not worry if you cannot find a way to get some riding in before college.
i went to college to do a diploma in horse studies a few years ago. we were split into three groups depending on our riding ability.
i was in the middle group as i had had been riding on and off throughout my childhood, had lessons for a few years and had a couple of ponies.
but their was a boy that couldnt ride very well and he was in the bottom group for riding. he could just about canter but couldnt jump and hadnt been riding for long at all.
by the end of the course he had moved up to the top group which was full of girls who had had ponies all their lives, went to pony club and did loads of competitions and parents owned livery yards etc..
he did really well for himself and after college he got a job at a really good competition yard and got to ride great horses.
i know everyone cant go from being bottom to top (i know because i stayed in the middle group the whole time) but im sure you will be fine no matter whether you are top or bottom of your course at college.
