Why does the ILPH have a horse loan scheme?
The ILPH has a horse loan scheme to allow each horse to lead a useful life, and it also makes space for more horses to come to us. The centres can hold around 300 horses at any one time but the ILPH owns just over 2000 horses. This is only possible due to the loaning horse out through the horse loan scheme.
Where do the horses come from?
The ILPH takes in horses primarily from welfare situations and if we have space some may come in with rehabilitation needs. We also have some horses that have been left in wills to the ILPH.
How many horses do the ILPH put out on loan each year?
The ILPH rehomes around 300 horses each year through the horse loan scheme.
Can I apply for more than one horse at a time?
If you see more than one horse that you are interested in then make an application for each horse.
Can I put my name on a waiting list?
Unfortunately we are unable to hold a waiting list of people looking to take an ILPH horse on loan.
If I think I like a horse but have a few questions what should I do?
We would recommend that you make an application for the horse. If your application is successful a member of the yard staff will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have about that horse. As our aim is to find the best match between horse and borrower. Should you decide that this is not the horse for you, simply let us know. This will not affect any future applications you may make.
Are there any horses in my area that I could take on loan?
Due to the rehabilitation process that we follow for each of our horses they are only rehomed from one of our four centres.
How often are horses added to the web site?
Horses are added to the ILPH horse loan scheme as soon as their rehabilitation is complete. The website is updated once a week at about midday on Wednesday.
Will the ILPH visit the horse whilst in my care?
Each part of the country has an ILPH Field Officer, who will make several unannounced visits a year to each horse on the loan scheme.
If I have a problem with my ILPH horse who should I contact?
If you have any concerns with your ILPH horse you should contact the ILPH on 0870 873 1927 during office hours. If you have an emergency we recommend that you follow the advice of your vet and inform us as soon as possible.
How much do I have to pay to take an ILPH horse on loan?
We do ask for a loan agreement fee for each horse. This will vary from £40 to £400, depending on the horse that you are taking on loan.
Who is responsible for transporting the horse?
It is the responsibility of the borrower to provide transport to and from the centre. They must also transport the horse back to the centre if it is returned and it may be a different farm to the one that the horse came from.
Do I have to insure the horse?
We do insist that each horse has a minimum of third party insurance and as veterinary bills are the responsibility of the borrower we advise that you consider insuring for this.
Do I have to be a member of the ILPH?
We do insist that all new borrowers are members of the ILPH. This is only £2/month. By becoming a member of the ILPH you help support our work in helping horses worldwide. To become an ILPH member simply click here
Do the horse come with any tack or equipment?
We are unable to put the horses out on loan with any tack or equipment.
What bills will I be responsible for?
As the borrower you will be responsible for all costs incurred for the horse during the time it is in your care. This includes vets bills.
What is a home check?
Before the horse is moved from the ILPH centre to it’s new home, the local Field Officer will check the premises where it is to be kept for safety and suitability.
When will my home check be done?
The home check is done once both parties are happy that this is the right horse for you.
Is there any restriction to the type of yard that I can keep an ILPH horse and what it can be used for?
We have no rules as to the type of yard that an ILPH horse is kept on be it a private yard or a livery yard. If kept on livery this must not be on a working livery basis. The use of the horse depends on each individual horse but none must be used for financial gain.
If I take on a companion horse can I ride it in the future?
If the ILPH has decided to place a horse as a companion this means that they are strictly non-ridden companions. This would have been decided by the Centre Manager with the advice of their team of experts.
