Sharing a loaned horse?

Question

(i am 14)I have been riding for 8 nearly 9 years and have always wanted my own horse but could never have one as it was too expensive.

I might be loaning a horse and sharing it with my friend which i would like as i don't want to buy a horse of my own incase i find it too hard to keep (money.... etc).

I have almost persuaded my parents and we are seeing it on saturday, but i want to fully persuade my parents this will work. I have a paper round that pays well and have saved up alot of money already so i am prepared to put money towards it.

Does anyone have a rough idea about the costs of loaning?

Thank you.

Answer 3

If you and your friend plan on sharing this horse then you both need to be involved from the start. You friend needs to sign the contract too ( otherwise if she gets bored she could just walk away and leave you with all the costs etc to deal with - I know you are probably the best of friends right now but you'll be surprised how people can fall out when there are horses and money involved.)

Hopefully your friend will have a paper round too -  you may just about have enough money between you if you can find a cheap DIY yard ( my friend used to pay £15 a week for hers)

Also be warned that a lot of places won't accept boarders under 16.

I wish you luck but if your parents aren't going to pay anything towards it I think you and your friend are going to have a real struggle. DIY livery means you buy all feed, all bedding and all hay. You also have to do all the work - which could mean mucking out stables before doing a paper round before going to school in the middle of winter.

Sorry.

Do you mean leasing?  Every leaser gives a different price depending on the cost of board, food, supplements, health regulations, farrier, etc...  There are also many different kinds of leasing... full lease, partial lease etc...  You have to come up with your own agreement for it to work.  some people will make you reliable for the horses health.  So i encourage horse insurance so you dont get screwed over.  In my area,  full lease is around 400 a month.  But there are the occasional cheaper horses.  I've seen a partial lease for $145 a month.  The monthly leases, to me, are the most beneficial.  You can stop whenever just in case you run into any problems. Be sure to chose the horse carefully.  Good luck !

Answer 5

Well before I bought my horse, I leased him for 6 months, although there are all different types of plans we could have done ( one month, one year) . Anyways our deal was that i would pay 325 dollars a month just for his boarding and then i could use him anytime i wanted. it was a single lease, so he was like my own horse, in fact i considered him mine! We also worked in the deal that we only paid 110 dollars every 8 weeks for his new shoes, meanwhile the owners would pay for all of his vet stuff and shots. worked really well :D BTW, i live in california, it may be cheaper if you live somewhere else

Answer 6

Usually for a loan you pay everything towards the pony's keep, as if you owned him.  You'd be responsible for his livery, feed, shoeing, vet care, insurance, worming, and so on.  Aside from the initial cost, it is the same as buying a horse.  However, people do treat loans differently, so you'd have to ask the owner exactly what was involved and what you'd be responsible for.

As a rough guide, DIY livery is around £25 per week - on that basis, you have to do everything yourself, and may or may not have a stable.  Full livery is anything from £80 right up to £200+ per week, depending on yard and facilities - but in that instance, the pony would be fully looked after and you could do as little as you wanted.  I doubt your paper round would come anywhere near the cost of DIY, but it will help towards it!
