So the lame loan horse was meant to be collected two weekends ago. We had the whole thing sorted - irritating owner had signed the horse over to the new one via my solicitor, woman had arranged for horsey to go to the stud I bought my new foal from and it was all looking rosy.

Then, it started to go t*ts up - new woman phoned to delay collection for a week. Strange (and stupid) cos it meant missing a season. She then phoned on Thursday last week to say she couldn't make it this week either.

Yesterday I got a phone call from stud owner to say that she had CANCELLED the booking for the mare

Began to panic slightly at that point (but didn't tell OH cos he'd freak out!

)

Woman finally phoned today to say, surprise surprise, she didn't want mare after all!!

So, am back to square one. I still have a horse I don't want and now the irritating owner has totally washed her hands of it but has today helpfully said that she'll sign her over to me instead......

Why the feck did I bother

Sorry for ranting but all suggestions gratefully received..... OH at work for another hour - am trying to think up a good way to break the news to him

If its a loan horse, lame and you don't want it why don't you just send it back to the owner?
Don't really get it? A signed agreement is a signed agreement, I would have a word with your solicitor.
Don't keep it if its not what you want, don't let the owner sign it over to you and don't you sign anything!
 
it's a long story - the owner didn't want it back in the first place and we had to get our solicitor involved. To solve the problem we found the woman who wanted to breed from her and now that's gone wrong too. Owner is standing by her position that she signed the horse over and it's no longer her responsibility. Back to the solicitor I think...... I could ultimately keep her and breed for her myself but didn't really want to do that.
 
You must be completely stressed out .Open a bottle before your oh comes home to give you the confidence to tell him good luck

Hi,

Signed her over?
Does that mean the horse is now your property?

I would have refused acceptance and still kept to a return date.

This has to have been one of the weirdest loan situations I've ever heard about!
You poor thing!
 
We're kind of in a grey area at the moment cos horse was signed over to new woman, but she didn't collect it and therefore nothing has been signed. Loan woman has phoned my solicitor today to change the paperwork to my name. I'm just going to accept it - I can't face the horse being passed around or put down. We have our own place so it's not the end of the world......

One things for sure though I will NEVER loan a horse again
