How long have you shared for?

[Autumn]

I was just thinking earlier about how lucky I have been with my sharer. I advertised Charlie for share when I moved yards in Jan 2008, thie first person who contacted me viewed him, loved him and turned out to be friends with the yard ownders daughter so I had a recommendation for her also! I instantly liked her and she was great with Charlie, so nearly two years on we're still sharing! What's the longest you have shared for? x

I have shared Zeb for 3years 2months, although I'm the sharer rather than the owner x

[Autumn]

Catg - that's a great time to have been sharing, goes to prove it can work out between owners and sharers! I've read so many stories where it doesn't work out so yours and mine are good examples of when it does! x

Do you mean 2008 Autumn? Anyway, sounds like it works for you. I part-loaned for a year and a half but stopped for various reasons.

[Autumn]

Yep sorry, 2008! Doh, that'll teach me to be concentrating on here when i should be working! x

Blossie's sharer was with me for 11 months before Blossie died, if she hadn't then she would still be sharing.
I now have a sharer for Bella too (due to uni), she's been with me about a month

[Mungo Madness]

I shared Mungo for a year, and if he hadn't been PTS I would definately still be sharing him, and probs would through to Uni at least...Tbh I wonder if I did still have him, I reckon I might even be staying in the area jsut to keep him on share!

I do not officially 'share' but I have been riding Mags since May 2007, which is 2 and a half years. I expected to have bought my own horse by now, but for various reasons I haven't, and now I am so in love with Magsy boy that I don't see me doing it anytime soon. I can't imagine ever not knowing Mags and him being part of my life, certainly not while he still on the go! I don't think his owner would ever take him away from me either, so I am pretty lucky!

I've been sharing Hamish for just over 4 years now! Love him love him love him!

[Katie Morag]

I used to share another horse called Ace for almost 3 years & I have been share Mo for 2, again I'm the sharee, not the owner. So in total I've shared for 5 years. I love Mo to bits and it's going to be hard the day I have to give her up.

[Burnie]

I shared Till for about 2 and a half years and eventually bought her when her owner decided to sell :)

[My Crazy Clan]

Never relised you had a share! I bet she is in love with him.

[Twizzel]

I shared Ebony for 9 months until it went pear shaped.

I've been with the current horses since May and have absolutely no intentions whatsoever to leave them!! Ever!! :D

[mermer]

I shared Arthur for nearly a year and then after saying he would never be sold they did, and all inside a week:(

Then I found Herbie who I've had since August 2008. I think he'll probably be mine forever unless I can't cope with keeping him and my own one.

[Vodkagirly]

4 months so far and long may it continue!

[Horse Mad Mum]

I have shared Goldie for three years and am very lucky have had two lovely girls who have loved her to bits the first share ended after 2 and a half years for various reasons and it taught me a lot both good and bad, on the whole a really positive thing ! HMM X

[honeybee]

4 years! No intention of leaving the little man. Ellie, 6 months..would still have her now if that hadn't gone so wrong, people always say its the loaners that you need to be aware of but they clearly haven't met the woman that owns her. x
