loan to buy/trial

I don't think either are a commitment, you loan with a view or trial with a view to purchase. If the horse rears up and breaks your neck, I hardly feel you could be held to any commitment to purchase. Hence why they are such a rare but valuable thing :)
 
Mmmmmmmm, so a trial i would expect to pay expense's and a loan i would expect them to pay expenses. With of course with signed agreements. Correct?
 
IMO loan with view to buy is more long term than a trial. I had my horse on loan with view to buy for a year before I purchased him. Purchase price was agreed before I took him on and the loan year was treated as a normal 'loan'.

A trial is usually just for a week or so and is sometimes only offered if the horse stays at the current yard.

Unless the horse stayed at the current yard for a trial I would expect the potential purchaser to cover all expenses, although owner should agree to keep insurance for a horse that was on a short term trial.

When my friends LWVTB bolted and ditched me and fractured my spine leaving me in intensive care it went back quick smart! Even quicker when we found out it had a non disclosed issue with bolting. Same thing would have happened with a trial. I'm still gutted it wasnt bought so we could have had him PTS and prevented him doing it again!
