Trial Period?

[oofadoofa]

I have a lovely lady very interested in a horse I have for sale and she is ringing me later to discuss things again. I know it is her first horse and am happy with livery arrangements, etc that she has made. I was thinking of suggesting that she has him on a short trial period, say 1 week, just to make sure that they are totally happy with one another as obviously even if she bought him without a trial and had a problem I would take him back anyway.

So, he is insured so I will let my insurance know, etc, or do you think she needs to insure him herself? Have never done this before so any ideas what else I need to do?!

I'd have everyone insuring the horse, better to err on the side of caution! Very good of you too - so many people just wont wear trials!

As long as you have insured the horse, tell your insurance company the situation and where he will be, and make sure she has BHS membership (Gold I believe) to cover her self, it should be fine! You may need her to insure tack though, as when I had my loan horse my loaner's insurnace company wouldn;t insure the tack as it wasn't at my loaners yard, so just check that out with insurance!!

Good idea - thanks. I just think it's important that she knows he's the right horse for her, and I'm confident that he's so lovely he won't do anything wrong!
