There are a few threads on here recently about loaning gone wrong, and I felt I just needed to say, not all loanees are the same! Lots of people saying they would never loan their horse again, which is basically saying they think all loanees are bad.
I had Benson on Loan from a lovely family, he was a long term loan. He came to a local livery yard about 2 miles from my house, and settled in well.
I paid for everything, shoes, feed, insurance etc etc, and always contacted his owners if and when there was a problem, which was rare. We sent christmas cards from him to his owners.
I loved and cared Benson as if he were my own. I wouldnt of done anything differently if I had bought him.
I do appriciate that some loans do go bad, but not necessarily because its a loan. Its sometimes the person that is wrong, not because the horse is a loan, maybe they would of treated their own horse the same way.
Sorry....probably waffling now.....
