Would you say this is reasonable?

Having a part-loan horse on DIY

Will ride him 4 days but can ride him whenever, ill be the only one to ride him so can ride him more if i like
can do what i please with him
no chores involved, but i will anyway
No dentist/ vaccs or anything
just pay half of shoeing, dont know if thats seperate from price though.

£25 a week inclusive of everything with as much riding as you want is good and paying half towards the shoes which would be around £25 to £30 every 6 to 8 weeks is perfectly reasonable given the fact you can ride whenever you want to.

Well, to an extent. It would be 4 days a week, but she said if i wanted to ride him another day to just text her and she'll more than likely say yes. Its only because she wouldnt have the time to otherwise.

Very cheap, bearing in mind a half hour private at my local RS is the same price! Go for it

Youve only got to calculate how much 4 x 1hr hacks are at your RS to know thats good. Plus I'm guessing you're not restricted to an hour at a time

Good luck!

That is a good price for a part loan. A couple of years ago I used to pay £80 per month for 3 days per week for a part loan under similar circumstances to you.

I'd say thats a fab deal esp with all the extra riding you can get. It's like a personal RS at your beck and call

ETA- oops it merlin isn't it sorry my ickle brain goes on holiday at weekends

Merlin

horses4eva888, Merlin is a 15.1hh bright bay gelding, 18 years old. He's a real fun, safe genuine horse with a great character. He's really safe, pops small jumps and will happily go for a good blast. He loves to go hacking. I enquired about him week before last and had my second ride on him on thursday . I am riding him again tomorrow out hacking .
