I need to put my horse out on full loan before next spring (needs to be loaned by March) and am wondering when I should start looking for a loaner.
I am not ready for him to go yet and would prefer to keep him through winter. I'm assuming any potential loaners will not want to take on a new horse going into winter anyway & they'd prefer a horse towards the end of winter, ready for competing in spring. Would that be a fair assumption?
It won't be the end of the world if I still have him in March but isn't ideal.
When do I start spreading the word locally & advertising him? I want to give myself plenty of time to find the right person but without keeping them waiting for a long time. I also want to make the most of him while I can & not let him go too soon.
Thanks
