When loaning out a horse....

[seabiscuit]

Is giving the loaner a photocopy of the passport acceptable? Or should they have the actual passport? Would rather keep his passport here.

No, they have to have the passport to travel him, so even to take him to new yard he needs a passport.

If you don't trust them enough to give them the passport then maybe not the right loaners for your horse?

 

[seabiscuit]

Thanks, yes I do trust them completly! Its just that you just never know, do you!

I gave my pony's pasport to the loaners as they needed it for vaccinations and stuff. I did take a photo copy of it first though!

You should really give the passport to the loaner.

At the end of the day, if they were fraudsters and didn't have the passport there is nothing stopping them just changing his name and buying him another passport anyway.

I gave mine to the loaner too,if they had the yard inspected for any reason then the lady would need my mares to show she is passported.

What I did was make sure loanee signed contract stating that she is in no way what so ever owner of horse, and got a pic of her and horse so that I could say it was deffo her that signed it etc. Not that I didn't trust her.

Lol, soz but I just though - u know those weight loss before pics when folk hold up a newspaper? U could get them to hold horse, and news paper and a sign that reads - I do not own this horse.

Lol, sound mad, but actually scarily a good idea!

I gave the original of the passport to the loanee like others along with vaccination certificate. Kept photocopies for myself and also attached them to the copies of the loan agreement. I kept the Farmkey freezebranding certificate that he has for loss of use and the Identichip paperwork as I figured she wouldn't need them unless he disappeared
