It wasn't to suss out the horse. It was to ensure that I got to know him and her so he would fit in with my retired boys and as she wanted close contact with him whilst he was on loan to me I thought it would be a good idea to check we got along too as she wasn't far from me and wanted to come...
I would never have implied to her in a snooty way that I knew better as that's not me and no one knows everything. I asked her if I could try him in a snaffle and bridle in the school to see how he went, I didn't go into detail as to why I wanted to, and she was fine with it. She actually just...
Yes I think sadly you are most probably right. Maybe moving quicker next time is what I need to do. I just don't rush anything with my horses, I need to know that it could definitely work out. Especially with my boys, I like to rock the boat as little as possible with them.

Hi, yeah I had emailed her a loan agreement that I had revised as there was a number of things I wanted changed on it. But she hadn't gotten around to signing it and sending it back.
No, I understand that it is her horse. It's just totally thrown me and also not offered a reason why. I assume the reason is that she cant bear to part with him etc.
And as re: buying, I am in the position to buy, but at the moment I don't want for a number of reasons.
So far only one...
About 2 months ago I thought I would start looking for a horse to loan as both my other boys are retired. SO I found a beautiful 5 year old appaloosa X who was relatively local and so I enquired about him.
His owner sounded nice, I was confused as to why she said he was in a grackle and a...
