OP, the owner could have easily said:
I'm moving away next month to the other side of the country, horse is coming with me, v sorry but your share finishes at the end of the month/week.
Please think v hard about this, others have already given a view on ££'s.

Sorry to be boring and dull, but debt to purchase is not wise. Horses are expensive, and they break. Even if you insure (which is expensive) something can go wrong that isn’t covered.
Save your pennies, when you have savings behind you the right horse will come along.

They always say that “buying the horse is the cheapest part”.
You have to think about how much it will cost you to keep the horse too, not just the purchase price.

Sorry but you shouldn't go into debt to buy a horse, you're young and potentially have house purchases etc, your interests etc may change (I never thought mine would now I don't even ride!)
Certainly wouldn't suggest selling things like your car
As others have said, you then have the up keep costs etc. If you can afford these all you can do is make an offer you can afford and hope they want horse to go to someone that obviously loves it
Please do not consider loans or debt - sound like you're very sensible as you've said this is a route you'd rather stay away from

£10k plus is a lot of money to spend on a horse. You don’t have a lot of spare cash, don’t do it.

Just to add, with a horse that price you would need to budget for a 5 stage vetting, including Xrays, whether you know the horse or not, because it would be uninsurable without.
