Just need a bit of advice- my 20 year old TB mare went out on a 12mth loan last year as a light hack/companion. There are no concerns with her care or anything at the moment but the loaners circumstances have changed. The 12mth loan period is up in August but the loaner wanted to keep her permanantly. So recently I had started to look for another horse as my stable is still vacant.
The loaner has now split from her partner and says she wants to keep my horse but cannot commit long term and its all dependent on weekly overtime to finance the horse.
This puts me in a difficult situation - at any point she could come back, however, my stable may be not vacant forever (I am lucky the farmer has left it available to me!)
If money is an issue I am concerned she may not get the supplements she needs etc.
I am now thinking of asking for her back now whilst I can guarantee a stable for her rather than wait until the 11th hour and have a horse sent back with nowhere to put her!
This is all new to me, have never loaned a horse before!
