    TIMEWASTERS!!!

    I know I know. The problem with loaning is that there is no guarantee that things will work out no matter how strict the critera. I am so cautious because I'm terrified of the horror stories. What I look for in a loaner applies to strangers, it would be completely different if I knew them...

    Wouldn't touch her (personally) I list questions and ask them on each call and write down the answers then go through them and decide who's viewing first, second etc. And I'd only speak to parents. Anyone on a livery yard (unless they can provide references maybe) are ruled out. My view is...

    To vet or not to vet????

    Hey he'd be sold to someone the owner knows already, by the sounds of it he'll be looked after very very well, brought on, schooled, improved and sold in a couple of years. The owner knows this.

    Convincing your partner to buy a horse?
