Loaning a horse means looking after and riding someone else's horse, usually paying for its keep, while the owner still owns it. It is a good way to find out whether having a horse suits your family before you buy one.
On a full loan the horse usually moves to your yard. On a part loan, or share, it stays where it is and you ride on agreed days and share the costs. Every loan advert here answers the same honest questions as a sale advert, so you know what you are taking on.
Always use a written loan agreement, however friendly the arrangement. Our guide to loaning explains what it should cover. Advertising a loan horse on Pony Search is free.
Frequently asked questions
How does loaning a horse work?+
The owner keeps ownership, and you care for and ride the horse as agreed. You usually pay for its keep. A written agreement sets out who pays for what and how either side can end the loan.
What is the difference between a full loan and a part loan?+
On a full loan the horse lives with you and you take on all its care and costs. On a part loan or share, it stays with the owner and you ride on set days and pay part of the costs.
Do I need insurance to loan a horse?+
Yes. You need rider liability cover at the least, and the agreement should say who insures the horse for vet fees.
Is it free to advertise a horse for loan?+
Yes. Loan adverts on Pony Search are free, for horses as well as ponies.
