Looking for advice as to whether I'm being a bit unreasonable. Advertised a fabulous safe child's pony for loan around 5 weeks ago as he needs to lose weight and my daughter only really rides at a weekend due to afterschool commitments. A Facebook friend responded and agreed to loan pony a few days a week for her daugher who's on the lead rein still....pony is perfect on the lead rein. Agreed £20 a week for as many days as they'd like including weekends if my child wasn't able to ride and no jobs to do as I'm there every day to muck out, soak hay etc. They paid for the first 2 weeks and did ride quite a bit, including taking him to pick child up from school etc. Unfortunately pony then went lame with abscesses in 2 hooves due to the wet weather we suddenly had so couldn't be ridden for that 3rd week. Loaner didn't come up or pay any contribution that week which I didn't ask for. However pony has now been sound for over 2 weeks. Loaner hasn't been up despite telling me 3 times that they were coming but didn't bother and no communication to say they weren't coming up to ride, and obviously no financial contribution has been made. Had a message tonight to say they want to ride tomorrow but as its school holidays my own child can ride. Am I being unreasonable to look for someone else who is more reliable and committed? I know I should have put a contract in place but stupidly didn't.....
