This could be long, so apologies in advance. I part loan a horse, and there is another girl who loans the other part. The horse has been lame for a week, first thought was an abscess but farrier has ruled that out. Vet is querying Cushing's, laminitis and potentially pedal bone rotation. She is very overweight (previously retired but owner wanted her back in work) so very has prescribed diet pills and will see her again next week.
She has been on grass livery so obviously has now been put in a stable and only turn out into the school.
Where I need the advice, who should be paying for the sudden increase in livery cost? Grass livery to full (they don't offer DIY) is a massive increase. Heart is saying to suck it up and pay, head (and OH) is saying it isn't my responsibility, I pay to ride a horse and the reality is there is a high chance she will need to be PTS.
There is no contract, owner lives a few hours away and apparently can't afford the fees - hence finding a coupe of sharers.
