4 months ago my 19 year old horse I lease had a check ligament injury ( never had a lame day in 10 yeas I had her) we have no idea what caused it, but vet thinks bad footing could be a cause in an older horse.
Hand walking is complete, & now vet prescribes a 6 day riding program starting with 30 min of walk including small trot. Schedule escalates over the next 8 weeks. My 5 day leaser is back to riding horse as she wanted to stay with this horse .
Her previous rides were only flat with one 45 min flat lesson per week. Should I ask for some lease money now she is riding daily? I thought maybe I should ask for half the lease price while rehab riding due to limitations in time & walk/trot although It increases over the weeks ( no canter not for another month )
Leaser is dedicated to horse & has waited to get back on. She has helped me with some of the handwalking while trying out other horses. But mine is the one she feels safest on as she is as bombproof as possible.
I just don't know when I should start asking for a contribution. It will be 60 days before she's right up to full walk trot canter activity for 1 hour.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
