It is worth considering anddrawing up a comprehensive loanagreement which sets out clearly what isexpected of both parties in terms of whatthose responsibilities are, both financialand otherwise. In the event of a dispute,the loan agreement can be referred to, toclarify the issue. It may not cover 100%of situations that arise, but it will help.Actually planning the agreement can bevery valuable, as queries can arise thatcan then be incorporated.One of the main advantages of a loanagreement is that it can go to prove thatthe horse is actually on loan and has notbeen stolen or abandoned. This isassuming that it is still with the originalloaner of course, though the agreementshould forbid passing the loan horse onor “selling” it. You can’t actually do this,as you don’t own the horse in the firstplace.A poster on a popular horse discussionforum recently seemed to think that thenew Control of Horses Act 2015 could beused to seize ownership of horses onloan. It wouldn’t be wise to repeat themechanics of the comment here! But it isdoubtful it would work anyway. It wasbased on the premise that if an ownerhas not visited their horse for a lengthyperiod, they could be said to haveabandoned it and the procedure underthe Control of Horses Act 2015 could betriggered, passing ownership after acertain short period of time.First of all, the Act applies to the“detention” of horses which are basicallyon land without lawful authority. It is toapply to horses deliberately being grazedOnloan Onloan Loaning horses is wellknown in the equineworld for many reasons.Your horse might want aquieter life, you’re awayto university, or he’s justoutgrown. Some seem towork very well for allconcerned, but someturn into nightmares; andnightgeldings.72-73_Layout 1 18/03/2016 11:57 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY73EQUINECall Lincoln 01522 512345 or visit wilkinchapman.co.uk^jnbg^eZplghm\abe]lieZrUnderstanding equine law means understanding horses and their owners.

A loan horsemay be on land not belonging to theowner, but it is there with lawfulpermission - the lawful permission of theloaner who will have the horse at homeor at livery. The horse has not beenillegally placed there by the owner. Thefact that an owner may not want to seetheir horse for a time does not of itselfmean it has been abandoned, nor willownership pass to the loaner merelybecause a certain amount of time hasgone by. This can be specifically statedin addition in any agreement.Make sure your horse is microchipped.It should be if passported. Under theAct, if a horse is suspected of fly grazing,the police have to be informed within24 hours of detention as does thehorse’s owner if known. A simplemicrochip scan would show who theowner was and alert them to thepossible - and potentially illegal - loss oftheir horse.
