Oh Bu***r!

[Vizslak]

Sorry, ranty whinge alert.
As some of you may know I have been looking for a loan home for my lad as I can't afford to keep him anymore. I've reached the stage now that I can't afford another months livery.
Had a few people view and I had a girl really interested in him, been and ridden 4 or 5 times brought her mum up, had a lesson with her trainer on him etc etc. They were starting to get the measure of each other and although I'm still mortified at the prospect of him going and out competing with someone else this summer instead of me (after years of blood sweat and tears to get him to this point) I was starting to feel ok about it and that I had found the right home.
Now shes not sure if she can have him as she hasnt decided whether shes going to uni in september or not
I don't know what to do now I've run out of time, the end of the month is only a week away and I'm up the proverbial street with no paddle
Gah!

Would she like to take him on until setpember to have a summer competing and give you more time?

 

[Vizslak]

I was just thinking this but I'm not sure how I would find someone else for him while he was at another yard?

 

[LaurenM]

There's no reason why you couldn't find someone else for him while he's at another yard if you agree it with the loanee prior.

Sorry, I've no advice - just feel really bad for you that you can't afford your horse. I'm going to say a little prayer for you tonight.

 

[MosMum]

Where are you based hun?

 

[Chestnuttymare]

If he was to be with her til sept it might just give you some breathing space, your situation may have improved by then.

 

[Vizslak]

In somerset Mosmum.
Yes I suppose maybe its an option, although quite unsettling for him I would think, he doesnt settle easily anyway. I have been playing the 'things may change in a minute' card since august though, I'm beginning to think I'm not destined for any happy ending

Can you pm me some details Vizslak, not for me, but i can i can ask around here if it would help.

 

[Vizslak]

Thanks Fii, pm sent x

 

[Fii]

Have you tried ag or equine collages? they are always looking for horses, although i am not sure what they do with them outside term time.

 

[Vizslak]

I've considered it as an option but the lifestyle/environment really wouldnt suit him at all.

 

[Natch]

Whereabouts are you and what is the horse like?

 

[Nigel_cat]

Hey,
Could you pm me his details if you are still looking? I'm in Gloucestershire, an experienced ex-horse owner and on the hunt for something on loan.
