There's this place down the road from were I live and its just a barn and a couple of pastures with horses. I took riding lessons awhile back and I'm so bored, so I wanted to see if the guy would want someone to come and help him. I know it sounds weird but I'm home schooled and you know how dull our lives can be. I don't know how to approach him.... I'm 15 if that helps
Tell him you are home schooled and bored and would like to spend time grooming and possibly riding his horses.
We're in the same boat.
I'm home schooled and our house has a boarding stable on it. I just introduced myself to one of the owners, struck up a little horsey conversation, and before I left I told him if he ever needed help just to let me know and I'd be more than happy. What do ya know? Now every time he's here he brings an extra saddle and we ride around in the pasture. Just be nice, make sure you know what you're doing, and try to talk to him every time he's there. He'll become fond of you, and if he sees that you're nice around his horse then he might let you help him. Hope this helps:)
You should just ask him straight out. Just say something like "hey, I live up the rode and I was wondering if I could help out with your horses? I took lessons, and I have experience with them so if there's anything I can do?" ... And then see what he says.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com I always like getting help. I always have so much work to do with my horses, and a lot of other stuff to do outside of them, so help is always nice. If he does need help, he'd probably let you groom them and feed them so he'd have more time to focus on other stuff like cleaning stalls or pastures, etc.
Never hurts to ask!
You're making this a tad bit harder than it needs to be, he isn't going to bite!! (I don't think) If I were him, I would be more put off by a flyer randomly stuck on my door than if I were actually approached by the person! So, just take a deep breath and go down there to ask if he needed some help around the barn. I know it's nerve wracking but I'm sure he would perfectly understand why a teenage girl was asking to help out at a horse barn. Its the norm! The worst he can say is no. Good luck, and don't think about it!
Ask if you can work in exchange for lessons (if you're not currently taking lessons). Or if you don't want lessons (or are already taking them), ask if he's looking for any volunteer stable hands.
Just go down to his barn and ask if he needs any help and if he ever does to give you a call.
Just ask if he needs help around the barn and that you are willing if he needs the help.
