Aww, thats really too bad. I'm sorry for you.

In all honesty, if I was you, I would look to lease through a riding stable. IMHO, a lot of times when a single owner is leasing a horse, it's usually until she can find someone to buy it or until she has enough time herself.

Riding stables actively look to lease out horses, a lot of times because the horse can be used in some lessons every now and then, but they can still make money off it by leasing.
