trial loan

[cindydog]

horse up for sale however willing to give a trial loan for 2 months to see if both parties suited what do you put in loan agreement, I want her to be sold so loaner needs to be very keen when viewing as dont want messed around?

when my horse was on trial i just adjusted the standard BHS loan agreement to meet my needs. As your loan will last a couple of months, i would suggest this as it will cover everything. The most important thing is to insure that the loanees realise they are liable for horse, and ensuring he stays in the condition in which he was given. x

Thats very generous of you to offer, especially for such a long time. I only asked for a week trial when I was buying mainly so I could get people whose opinion I valued to come and look at him (his home was over 30 miles away).

You've thought about what would happen if something serious happened to the pony whilst out on loan/trial and it was rendered unrideable as a consequence, either for 3 months or longer? Do you have insurance in place?

I would have thought the BHS loan agreement would be a good starting point, which you can find if you google it.

Perhaps ask for payment in full up front rather than a deposit, just in case the worst happens?

Sorry to be so negative, my daughters pony broke down on Sunday, initially we thought it was a tendon injury, now it appears it may be check ligament instead which is a better prognosis but still looking at 3 months off work. The Sunday vets bill has arrived (£260.00), I'm still waiting for the bill for Wednesday's visit (nerve blocks) and then there is the ultrasound scan booked for Monday. This pony was extremely fit and well, it happened without any warning and it would be awful if something like this happened to your horse whilst out on loan/trial and you hadn't got all bases covered over who was responsible for vets bills/insurance etc.
