Still no luck with a loan....feeling deflated!

[ChestnutConvert]

Just had a poop day.... potential loan horse fell through...again!

I know times are hard at the mo but surely not everyone wants to sell and let me have a loan. I've a great yard, lots of time and love to give....anyone at all?

Just another moan, all i seem to do at the mo....

Sorry your having a bad time of it

Have you not thought about finding a share short term?

 

[ChestnutConvert]

With running my own yard i would love to have something at my yard so that i have the flexibility to ride/groom/fuss etc when needed if that makes sense!

 

[flirtygerty]

Go for a rescue, they technically are on loan
plenty of them around, good luck

Understandable, I think loaning from a rescue sounds like a good idea!?

 

[ChestnutConvert]

I've had a look at a few and seem to mainly find companions for the height i'm looking for... and lots of shetlands!

Any ideas of rescue places would be great to see if i've missed any.

Gorgeous horses. I love Khan

Do you know why they all seem to wearing a chifney?

I have indeed and i'm interested but due to a lack of transport at the mo i can't find a centre near me!

I was wondering the same.

I was wondering the same.

same here. I noticed it when having a good look at khan (not normally a fan of greys either ) looking at more it seems they are all led in one.

Try Essex Horse & Pony Protection Society at Pitsea

Chifneys are yard policy on a lot of racing yards, so not really that unusual. Horseworld in Bristol, which may be too far from you, also does a pretty good job, a friend of mine has one from there.

Not sure HorseWorld will travel that far for home visits etc. They have quite a small area they cover (keeps costs down). I have to say, having had 2 from them in the past, that I think their 'loan donation' amounts are way too high (riding horse capable of more than hacking and you are looking at £800 - £1000). You could purchase a horse for that at the moment and would then own it rather than having someone come out every 6 or 12 months.

I'm pretty sure the ex racer rehoming places will deliver the horse if you pay their mileage if that's any good? I think Moorcroft (in Sussex) will go as far as you as they told me they'd deliver to Essex a while back. Think it would only have been £100 or so for the delivery.

Also Heros will too I think:

Good luck finding your perfect new horse
