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
RHRH helped me find the most wonderful new owner and home for my very special horse! Rebecca was very helpful at all times and genuinely pleased to offer her help and advice – would most definitely recommend to anyone selling or buying a horse!!from Claire, Owner of Socks
Having initially advertised elsewhere (with little success) Right Horse Right Home was recommended by a friend who had had success finding a loan home for her horse. The advertising process was very easy and straightforward, I was even messaged with suggestions on additional videos/photos to add which really help create a better advert. My boy was not a straightforward sell but I received 4 applications and the first to view bought. I really value the pre-vetting element which means applicants are all serious buyers which saves time (and stress) all round. I’d happily use again and will recommend to others whenever I can.

“Thank you so much, without your brilliant site I would never have found Bella… she is everything she was advertised as. She is settling into her new home and has been no trouble at all. Her Seller was honest and genuine and so helpful. I could not be happier… if more people were prepared to pay a small fee to advertise or apply I think there would be far fewer horses passed on and sold unseen only for people to find them unsuitable. I would recommend you to anyone.”Hillary, buyer of Bella
