Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on the below?
After some excruciating soul-searching, I came to the realisation that I have neither the time nor the skills to help my horse develop her potential; to this purpose, I moved to a very professional yard where it's possible to put your horse on selling livery, but was so worried of losing my mare to an outwardly mentally stable person, who is in fact an inwardly raging lunatic, that I decided to postpone selling and see if I could arrange a loan with a view to buy.
I found a seemingly lovely girl who can't afford to buy her own horse at the minute, and is looking to loan for 1-2 years before buying. She works at the yard where she intends to keep my horse (I've visited it and it looks well kept), and she has come to see my mare, and it's clear that she really knows what she's doing.
This is my worry: I'm not that savvy with regards to horses, so what if she ruins my mare and I end up with an unsellable horse who would require the attention I can't give her?
Is there any way I could include in the loan agreement (the one you can get from the BHS) something that would protect my horse 100%? Perhaps something along the lines of -say- asking the borrower to give £500, which will be returned upon termination of the loan provided the horse is sound or hasn't suffered major injuries?
Thanks in advance for your help- I know I'm a worry wart, but any suggestions or feedback would be very much appreciated
