Fastest Loan??

  • I’m sorry but I have already asked not to be lectured on my reason for taking a loan. I’m not looking for a ‘return’ on the horse, I’m looking to have him right through to his dying day! I have a secure income, have done a full breakdown of costs and yes, I have loaned a horse for the past 4 YEARS - prior to which I have 10 years experience owning horses. Instead of paying the costs for someone else’s horse which I will never own, as I do currently, I have decided to take out the loan to repay a little each month. This is money that, if I were not repaying the loan, I would be saving to buy the horse in the first place, therefore I am simply getting the immediate gratification of owning the horse instead of having to wait 3 years to afford the lump sum that comes with the beginning of buying.

    Fair enough, it is just an alien concept to me to borrow money to buy a horse (but then I have never paid more than £2k for one (and that's a very long story for another day!!)). Hope you have got him home and wish you the very best of luck with him :-)
