We have been approached by someone who would like to to help with my partner’s horse who isn’t getting ridden as much as he could due to his (and my) work commitments.
We want to be able to still use the horse a couple of times a week, and my friend occasionally rides with me, but would otherwise be happy for this person to ride on the other days.
The horse is green, though sweet enough and will be used for hacking and light schooling. I am happy to continue schooling the horse when I can, so not looking for the horse to be educated as such, but appreciative that he’s not yet the finished product!
We’re on DIY livery- I’m not expecting much in the way of physical help with jobs as the horse goes out/ comes in with mine. All bills will continue to be paid by us. Horse costs us approx. £280/month to keep.
So.... is that a share/ part loan? How much would you expect to pay for that arrangement? I haven’t loaned out a horse before hence not sure what would be reasonable to charge?
