Difference between Share and Part Loan??

[Taffyhorse]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help with this one. What's the difference between being a 'sharer' and part loaning a horse? Does PL imply greater responsibility/freedom with what you can do for the horse?

All answers gratefully received - and as its such a nice sunny day, have an ice lolly to go with it

To me, a sharer would get to use the horse certain days of the week and would either pay for that or do all the stable duties or combination but owner would retain all the responsibilities. Would only be able to do activities owner gave blessing to.

A part loan would suggest a more formal arrangement where the loaner would be responsible for specified aspects of the horses care eg might be part of the livery costs/feed/bedding/shoeing/vet fees etc. Probably would have proper paper agreement. Only things you couldnt do with horse would be those specified/outlawed in the agreement

See to me, it's the other way around.

is there actually any difference?

I always thought the two terms were interchangable..... but I could be wrong
