Any Takers for Joint Ownership - North East

[doolally_tap]

I'm looking for someone who is in the same boat as me - ie. wants to buy a horse but can't afford the whole cost.

I've thought about sharing arrangements but really need something where the other person is just as responsible as myself, as I don't want to be left in the lurch.

The solution I've come up with is a joint owner - however it means that not only to they need to live in the same area as me (North Tyneside), but they also need to be looking for the same type of horse and same type of arrangement as I am.

I am looking for a safe, reliable happy hacker - but with enough 'go' to still have some fun on. 14.2hh - 16.2hh.

I would need to keep the horse at either full or part-livery as I work full-time and have found a really good yard with very good rates. However - if my co-owner was able to do mornings I could consider DIY!

Am I completely barking mad to think this sort of arrangement could work?

I honestly think that there is too much that could go wrong..you have to find a horse you both like at the right budget, you have to agree on dividing this horse equally, you have to agree to handle it it in a broadly similar fashion, agree on clipping, rugging, how it is shod and how often, not conflict on showing or competition dates and them hope that neither of you wishes to drop out of the deal and force the other to buy them out
