Mel,
Have you considered finding a "Horseless Rider"? It has worked for me..I have a couple women who have owned horses in the past, but for various reasons don't have a horse now that ride with me. Mostly younger, horse-contact starved, and willing to chip in for gas when we haul to the mountains..:)

Hey all!
I have gotten the impression that some of you keep two horses conditioned and endurance ready. I was wondering if you guys would have any tips for me on how to accomplish this feat. I am finding that it is rather difficult, especially with my current equine population. I have the coming 5 year old that is in excellent condition and maintains it well but needs to be ridden regularly because he is greenbroke. Then I have the coming 6 year old that is well broke but has pasture potato tendencies and needs lots of work to get in condition, but is easy to maintain once there. The problem is, I have let her get out of condition while concentrating my greenbroke horse.
I work full time but thankfully don't have kids so at least that gives me a little more free time after work. I try to ride at least 3-4 days a week after work, sometimes that happens and sometimes it does not. I have a friend that will be riding one of my horses with me at rides, but she can't help condition much.
There has got to be a good way to balance all of this!
cloning? would that be a solution?
