Looking for share/loan horse in Somerset

[louf]

Hi,
I have just got back into riding after being away for a few years and am looking to share/loan a horse in Somerset. I live in Wells, and work full time, so it can't be too far from me. I am happy to work around the owner! The horse should be at least 15hh and fairly bomb proof, though not a total dobbin!

I am looking to mainly have fun - maybe some jumping, hacking and poss xc and/or dressage competitions (eventually!) but I am pretty happy just to enjoy myself really!

I am actually trying to buy a horse, but don't think I should rush things quite yet and it has been suggested that I try to loan or share first - I am not a novice, but not extremely confident either.
I would be grateful if anyone could help/advise me.

Thanks for any advice!

Have you put ads up in tack shops/riding or livery yards etc just incase somebody local can help? My mare would probably have been pretty good for you but she is smaller than what you are looking for . Good luck and have fun x

Thanks
- what size is she btw?
I am 5'7, so if she is a cob-type she may be ok, but otherwise I need something bigger.

She is about 14.1hh welsh/ arab x tb
