Morbid thought but what would happen to your horse if you died?

My two are both on loan to me, so they would go back to their owners within some kind of manageable timescale - the foal is for my son, so it is his choice as to whether he would want to keep or sell
 
My lad is part of the family & would stay within the family, simple as that.

A friend of mine, who has no real next of kin, has made arrangemnents in their will for their horse to go to a certain person to be looked after & has made financial arrangements to pay for everything in their will.
 
My will states they will be slaughtered, chopped up and served in a pie at my wake - it is a big secret, and then in the goodie bag when they leave, it will tell them.
 
My mum would be left deciding what to do and I would be happy with whatever was the best solution, but I would like her to retain ownership and loan her to someone, until it was a suitable time to try and breed from her. Maybe she would be encouraged to get back in the saddle herself!
 
That's wicked, LOL, too much watching of Sweeney Todd for you!!
Seriously though, i can't imagine my non horsey family would appreciate me dumping my horses on them esp as my dad can't stand making up haynets so I have to do them all before I go away for a weekend!!
I think I'd better leave mine to the ILPH with some money, then at least they won't end up being flogged off to the first person that comes along with the cash!
thanks for your thoughts though... I'm very impressed by all the caring OHs that would take them on, mine wouldn't!!
 
Lady would be returned to the rescue sanctury I got her from to the retirement centre where the lady who saved her and backed her now lives and works and I would ask them to take on Fudge as well on the condition that they be kept together. Any money I have would be donated towrads their keep.
None of my family are horsey and the only person I'd feel happy leaving mine to would be a friend and her teenage son who already has 3 horses of her own and would struggle with more.
 
My best friend would have him. She shares him and I know she would take care of him and that if she had to part with him she would make sure he went to the best possible home. I trust her completly with my horse.
 
They both go to Bellaboo

This is apt. I only asked my friend the other day if she would mind having my girl if both me and OH died (OH half owns horse so if I died he would have her and if he died I'd worry big time

)
 
My OH has promised that if spooks is still young enough to go off and enjoy himself in a carefully chosen home then he would sell him, but if he was older and retired, then he would stay with OH until his last days - I think Spooks is owed a good safe retirement after all he has done for my confidence over the last few years.
 
my OH is terrified of horses so I have told my best friend that if anything ever happens to me she is to have them or find them a loving home.
