Loaning Your Horse

Why use Right Horse Right Home to loan your horse?

The staff behind Right Horse Right Home are not only very experienced in supporting owners to find the right loan homes but the website facilitates a very effective, robust and safe process.

The key to successfully loaning your horse is finding the right person and home. A person who has the same standards of horse husbandry as yourself, someone who has the right riding ability, time, facilities, environment and resources to look after and enjoy your horse.  Ideally the loaner should not be too far away from home in order that you can easily check on their welfare from time to time.

With Right Horse Right Home you receive online applications with full details about the home offered, the experience of the rider and what they are looking for in the horse. Enabling you, as an owner, to compare and consider each application prior to making contact with the individuals themselves. Furthermore, the application process weeds out timewasters and unscrupulous people allowing you to spend your time assessing genuine, serious applicants thus making the process easier and less stressful.

 Top tips for owners

  • Always thoroughly check out the person and home where your horse will be going. Ask for references and follow them up.
  • Never allow your horse out on loan without a written agreement, which states that you retain the ownership of the horse at all times.
  • If you don’t want the horse to take part in particular activities, such as hunting or polo, make this clear and include it in the written agreement.
  • If the horse  requires specific, individual care for any condition be sure to include details  in the agreement.
  • Discuss what will happen if the horse becomes badly injured or ill and needs to be put down on humane grounds.
  • The loan agreement should include terms under which the horse can be returned to you by the loaner, or under which you can ask for the horse to be given back.
  • Regularly check on your horse once it is in its new home and keep in regular contact with the loaner.
  • Consider the reasons why you are loaning the horse out. If the horse is old or infirm humane destruction might be the better option, so discuss your plans with your vet

Horse Loan Agreements

Before entering in to an equine loan partnership or horse loan it is highly advisable to draw up a loan horse contract, or loan horse agreement.  The majority of loan arrangements that fail are due to not having a clear agreement in place which outlines, cost, care and responsibility of the horse and its potential return and termination of the arrangement.

 

Loan agreements should offer terms on the length of the loan, what is expected in term of care, termination of the agreement, and issues relating to illness or injury. As well as this it is important to cover liability and insurance of the horse. Both parties must sign the horse loan agreement and agree to all terms before the horse moves yards.

 

Our Testimonials

Hugo Sold through RHRH in January 2025
“A heart wrenching decision to sell my beautiful boy was made easier through RHRH.
He was sold to first person that viewed him and has gone to a wonderful home. Using RHRH allowed me to find the perfect match. The small fees charged are well worth it, eliminating stress from a very hard decision by only introducing people who are genuinely interested. I have also used RHRH to purchase, and would highly recommend.”  Nicola Littlewood, Owner of Hugo
Dream Sold through RHRH in January 2025

“I sold my pony through RHRH and would 100% recommend using this platform. I was able to find genuine buyers who suited my pony in just a week! It took so much stress out of selling our family pony. The fees are no more than advertising on some big name selling sites and the platform gives you the opportunity to review an application to see if you think they suit your pony before proceeding. Avoids so much unnecessary stress and hassle. I would definitely use again!”  Julia Smith, Owner of Dream
