Might have to put him on loan!

[Morrigan_Lady]

Been looking at my bank account thismorning and I cant see a way out of this one! I dont really want to sell Arch, but I dont really wonna put him out on loan either!! Really dont know what to do, but I cant carry on like this, Im skint!!

 

[Blizzard]

oh no, is there anything you can cut back on, go on DIY livery etc?

 

[Morrigan_Lady]

I am on DIY!! Theres nothing I can cut back on.

 

[Blizzard]

what about a sharer to cover his costs?

Or do you need the money from selling him?

What about a sharer? Keep at your yard, they pay towards livery and shoes, you can both ride.

This is what I am looking at for when I go to uni.

 

[Morrigan_Lady]

Well, I sort of did have a sharer but she broke her hand and now only really seems interested in riding and I need some one to do more really. Good idea though, think Ill put an ad on Horsemart and see what responses I get.

Nooooooo! A month of beans on toast and no going out? Where there's a will there's a way, especially as you've just affiliated!!

You just bought clippers!!!! *slaps you*


Seriously, there -are- ways to cut back. There are cheaper places for livery (although facilities wont be as good) so you could move. Or if you think Arch could live out maybe thats an option.

If not, I cant remember what bedding you are on, but maybe switch to something cheaper? Do you ride out alot? What about taking back shoes off? (depends on his feet i guess).

Im just trying to throw some suggestions your way to help!

I guess the best plan would be to find someone to share costs with you. I have a friend who is very lucky, when she got pregnant she looked for a sharer and found someone that only wanted to ride but had the money to spend. As a result she pays for all the expenses, but my friend does all the mucking out etc, but they both ride!

I would search for someone and see what happens. Im the mean time maybe get any of Arch's stuff that you dont use and stick it on ebay?

good luck sweetheart.

I went through the same situation a few years back. I was single, had a mortgage to pay, worked full time and kept my horse on DIY.

I got myself a cleaning job on Saturdays, cleaning out caravans, that was about £20, and I became an Ann Summers lady, and did party plan. It wasn't what I wanted to do, but I needed more money.

if he can live out - look for grass livery, it's loads cheaper where I am is £10 per week and £19 if there is a shelter in field

I was going to suggest a sharer like some of others - hope you manage to find a way of keeping him
