I have got to loan out my broodmare due to more pressure at work and longer hours. I just haven't got the time to look after her as she deserves at the moment. She is an amazing mare, produced three healthy foals that have all won at county level, she herself has won lots at county level, standing champion and reserve champion at county shows throughout the season. She has a £100 service voucher for this year which I am happy to let whoever has her use. I have advertised her on the internet, in the local paper, in tack shops etc and so far had either totally unsuitable people, or people who never bother to follow anything up (ie send us pictures/details and they never get back to me). Here is a link to her ad on horsemart;

I have got to find a loan home for her soon, please give me any help you can!
 
Must she go as a broodmare? You have a ridden pic so I'm assuming she's been backed and ridden at some point, so could she go to some-one as a project to bring back into work (maybe do ridden show classes with) perhaps?
(Sorry, not sure how you'd feel about it but thought it might be another suggestion/open the options)

Lovely looking girl tho!
 
The only thing I would say about the add and I absolutely understand why you've put it, but words like top class professional loan home only / vigorously checked etc may have people thinking their set up is not adequate. It may be great but they might think in your eyes not good enough.

Just food for thought.
 
Bless her, she don't need to be ridden again she could do some in-hand classes with foal at foot or broodmare classes etc. She is very smart surprised she has not been taken yet!! I'm looking for another mare, not sure about loaning tho, what would your contract be??
 
The ET thing might be worth looking at, I had a mare at Twemlows as a recipient for ET and was very pleased with the way she was cared for, I would have no reservations about sending another there.
 
What about approaching a professionial sports stud? I dont know about studs in the eastern region, but in the South East - there is the Southern Sports Horse centre - they have got Primo Pageant and Billy Be cool - big into eventing/hunting etc and irish horses? Your mare looks really nice and has a great track record so someone like that could well be interested..
 
Hi just seen ur mail have you sorting a loan home out for ur mare ? If not could i have some details about her as i ve just started a small stud with my own stallion and not got endless funds and thought this would be a great idea for myself if she was what i was looking for www.jbhwarmbloods.co.uk
