That's so sad to read, actually a few similarities to the mare I was loaning but your friends sounds worse. Why do these people have horses!!! I've dreamed of owning my own for 20 years but wouldnt do it in my curent position, I know it wouldn't be fair as I don't have enough time and wouldn't...

Haha! Maybe we should just buy a horse between us to share :) Thank you, you too! I'm sure the right one will come up for you soon, keep me updated!

Sorry to hear that you're in a similar situation too - it is like you said, like dumping someone (but a lot harder cause a horse is involved!!) it must also be worse for you as they have been difficult about it. I don't think I will find another part loan any time soon, I'm quite restricted...

Thanks all, really appreciate your replies. It's helped me realise I am not going mad and it's nice to have support of other horsey people. I don't have the owners address so wasn't able to send a letter, and didn't want to leave one at the yard as I wouldn't know when (or if) the owner would...

Scissors and a knife. Seperate occasions and, don't get me wrong this isn't every time I go but if I had ever mistakenly somehow left either of those anywhere in her stable let alone her bed I would be mortified, where as they just laughed it off when I told them. Don't get me wrong she isn't...

Thanks alainax - issues include lack of attention and exercise for her until I go (which is only once/twice a week), she hardly gets turned out at all anymore, so is in stable almost 24/7, smelly hooves, their opinion of mucking out is disgusting - so she is always left with a damp dirty stable...

Thanks all. We've never had a contract, no notice ever discussed. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving a letter at the yard due to everyone else getting involved and not knowing if/when the owner would see it anyway as they rarely go, so I think my only option is to call really and see if I get...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I love my part loan horse to bits, but the conditions she is kept in are bad, and getting worse. The YO and owner are very close, and do not see a problem with how she is kept. I have voiced my concerns numerous times to be told to stop worrying and...

Hi All, I look after a lovely mare once/twice a week, have done for almost a year, when I am not at the yard she is on full livery but won't get much attention or any 'extras' unless I am there. - Long story, definitely NOT how I would keep her but I am trying to make the best out of a...

I would include everything you have written above too, hopefully being as honest as possible you won't get anyone coming to you who will waste your/their time. And emphasize that he needs an experienced and confident rider. Also think it's fine for you to include '18+ only please' or...

I am a sharer, but understand where you are coming from. I have found it really difficult to find a horse who is healthy and well looked after to share, I don't think that's asking much. I have gone to see/try numerous horses where the owner hasn't been honest at all. (one of these owners is...

Thanks for your all of your replies. As much as I would love to, I don’t see me being able to buy her, and wouldn't want to unless I was 100% certain I could afford it all. I would have a full vetting if it did come to that anyway. Chestnut cob - I also get what you are saying re the...

Hi All, Hoping someone can offer some advice, don't expect anyone to be able to sort this out but I am not quite sure what to do! I have part loaned a 20yr old horse for just under a year, I can only really get to the yard at weekends due to my job. I am concerned over a few things for her...
