I am loaning a horse for my DD for £80 per month, 2 days per week. Due to the horse being lame two or three times, for weeks a time sometimes, she's not been getting all her days. More recently, we went on holiday for 2 weeks, so missed 4 rides, and bad weather sometimes interferes too as there is no indoor arena.
I agreed to pay the £80 via our banks on a monthly basis (not including me paying towards the farrier). Is it just our tough luck when the horse is lame, and tough luck if we choose to go on holiday? My husband is making a fuss that we are not getting our money's worth, but I'm not sure whether it's just par for the course when loaning, and saying something to the owner might tarnish our relationship.
Does anyone have experience of loaning, either as an owner, or a loaner? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
