HH recently did a feature where people asked this very question of taking a 'friends' horse in their lorry regularly.
The legal answer was to get legal advice and for you to get care custody and control insurance.
It is getting a legal minefield out there!!!!
I was called to VOSA check point to pick up horses as they had impounded the lorry-I did not ask the in/outs of it all but it did look suspicuously as an 'illegal transporter' even though the lady tried to explain to vosa there were no passports and I think she dug herself into a bigger hole!!!!! she would not give details of the horses owners so I was instructed to take to the local vets where they would keep the horses until ownership could be proved!
To answer the loan question-keep a copy of the loan agreement with the passport then you can prove that you have the horse legally!

Its comforting to know that we are such a crime-free country that they can worry about major crimes like these!
