Next year B is having a gap year, going to Borneo Oct - Dec then home in Jan to concentrate on her eventing.
W pony will be 16 and we would like to have a foal from her which is better not delayed at her age. So that would just leave F competing
I always think it's worth taking 2 in the lorry to events as diesel is so expensive so we would be looking to loan or lease a 2nd horse for a year/season, possibly longer if uni studies don't take over too much.
As this would probably be for a year (but could easily be longer if said horse was a pleasant hack for me) would it suit a comp horse that is getting on a bit or possibly been injured - we would be wanting it to do 1*/Nov.
I suppose it would also suit someone who needed a year out for pregnancy/work/travel etc
Do these horses exist? Together with owners who would allow it to happen?
B is fairly competent, eventing presently at BE Nov, she is light weight and sympathetic. Horse would need to be on the smaller side or if tall would need to be lightweight and mannerly.
Horse would be kept on a knowlegable private yard, with great hacking and references from trainers/vets.
I have had exoerience loaning before bother as loaner and loanee and have always had a great reletionship with people who have loaned old ponies and my cobbie.
Does Karma exist sufficiently to enable us to find the horse we want?
Any ideas where we would find this paragon of virtue. We wouldn't be looking for a work in progress (already have one of those) more a proven comp horse that would give B safe fun at a level where they are both comfortable.
Anyone know of a suitable horse coming up for loan?
I would be happy to take it on at the end of this season and give it a holiday if necessary - if this a good idea?
