im sure you all lknow by now ive been horse hunting.. well ive found one. came home yesterday to get the extra cash out and hubby has spent some with no extra lingering funds im 200notes short. so upset looks like the horse will slip through my fingers once again.! might see if i can get in touch with a loan sharkl lol
 
maybe worth a try.. how would i word it though ask him to drop the price of the horse or ask for more for mine? or just say ive got what ive got what do you think?
 
Yes I would literally just tell him the truth - I have £xx would you accept this and my horse ?? if not then as sprinback says ask maybe if he could accept your current money and pay the remainder in xx amount of days/weeks/month whatever the case may be - seems a shame to let a perfect partner slip through your fingers - go on go for it you know you want to lol.

if you are struggling to find just 200 quid, what would you do in an emergency???
 
Forgive me laceyhiggs but are you *sure* that you will be able to provide for a horse without over-stretching the finances? Even with insurance there is always the excess to pay/amounts above which you're insured for as well as, say, needing to pay someone to look after your animal if, (forbid!), you were injured/unwell for a time? These and many other things could require more than a spare 200pounds at short notice.

As a newly redundant credit-crisis victim I do sympathise. This is the first time in years I've had the time for a horse share but now can't be sure I'd be able to keep up the monetary commitment so won't be getting one until back on my feet financially. (Doing BHS training for now as it will make me a better sharer and it is only me that suffers if I can't afford the jacket etc for the exam when the time comes!)

It just seems to me that buying the horse, even if you can borrow the money for it, is the cheap part - it is the care that will cost, sometimes unexpectedly. :-(
 
Hi! This does sound very annoying. I must say though, Are you sure you can afford a horse? Horses cost A LOT of money to keep, vet fees are horrendous as are livery prices. You will have to buy all the tack,rugs,brushes etc you will need for the new horse, which can cost thousands. Horse shoes also need changing every 6-8 weeks, for around £100.
Livery can cost four times this much for a month.
I'm not wanting to sound rude or put you off, I think maybe you should think it through again and be sure you have the money to keep a horse.

Good Luck.

the horse is 1500 and hes giving me 1000 for my current horse in part ex. [/quiote]

You'tcan't ask for £200 off that sort of a deal! Not worth his while for £300!
 
thanks for all the replys its not the keep of the horse that is the problem as i have mine on diy livery now so it will be the same out goings. its just the extra bit of up front cash, hubby gets 2 month wage at the end of jan due to it being xmas so just a short month. i just didnt want to loose out on this horse as she is ideal for what im looking for. sorry should have explained that bit better in first post. its just tough over xmas as it is with most people i imagine.
 
i seem to have better friends than what i imagined and she should be arriving tomorow. she is v similar shape to my boy so all my stuff will fit her luckily
