It’d be sensible to go and see and ride him a bit before giving them notice about ending the loan. Six years is a long time and you may find that both you and the horse are a bit different now!
Not fair. The horse belongs to the OP, and she is perfectly within her rights to take her horse back. That's the risk you take when you loan a horse.Ah, so yard owner has had cob for 6 years. Fed and cared for..So, how much did you donate for his keep and how many times a week did you visit over the past 6 years?
From the other point of view, if the pony was no longer needed or couldn't work any more OP might find it is sent back to her anyway.
I always thought the term permenant loan, as I use it is that it’s very long term/forever as opposed to a year or so or a loan that’s renewed every year. We loan horses permenantly from work. It just means in the event the loaner can’t keep them they come back and cannot be sold on but we never ask for them back.I don't like the term 'permanent loan' and I don't understand why it seems to have replaced 'full loan'?
