I have been riding for over a year now and I am going viewing my first horse to part loan today
Is there anything I should know before going ?

He’s a very easy going 13.2hh Rising 5yr old gelding Never puts a foot wrong and is suited to bringing children into riding

Sorry for so many reply chains I can’t figure out how to Edit
They say he sometimes need encouragement due to being young but is great around children and has lovely manners

Are you under 18 OP?
If so, please take an adult with you. Apologies if not, but you mention he is good with children a couple of times.
Ask if they have a contract you can see, you need to know what duties and payments you are responsible for, and what the owners would do in emergency. Also, are you expected to pay and attend if the pony is off games (sick or lame) for any reason.
Ask what he is allowed to do, can he go out alone?
Can you take him to events on 'your' days?

yes I am 13, I take my mum with me who also rides and looked after horses when she was younger
Thank you so much for the advice I have already been but it wasn’t the right fit unfortunately
I will use this advise for the next horse I go and view though

Sorry you had a disappointment. Don't get weary of walking away from ones that aren't what you need. Be very fussy, its important to get the right one.
