Hello

Welcome to yours2share's Christmas 2007 newsletter. We hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year.

In this edition: Plus a selection of recent ads to whet your appetite.



Sharing horses

We've added a new category of pets, particularly designed for horses, ponies and dogs, although I expect people will find other pets that they wish to share.

There is guidance for sharing horses and we are working on the guidance for sharing dogs. This should be available over the next month.

Many people share horses through either joint ownership or horse loan. Some sharing arrangements incorporate some form of 'work for rides' basis. In these cases, the sharer does stable chores such as mucking out and rides the horse in return.There are three common scenarios where people share the ownership of horses and ponies:
  • Riding for pleasure
  • Competition riding
  • Polo and race horses
If you are considering sharing a horse or pony, you should always make sure that the arrangement is properly defined and written down: historically horse and pony sharing agreements have tended to be recorded badly and, as a result, have often ended in litigation. We have two templates contracts available to help you: one for pleasure and one for competition riding



Sharing aircraft - template contracts available

There are two new templates contracts for sharing light aircraft and helicopters. One template covers arrangements between two people, and the other is designed for three or more people.



What's New

We've added a new section called What's New. There are now over 60 pages of guidance which are constantly being updated, together with new pages. The What's New page enables you to see at a glance if there are updates or additions that would interest you.



Facebook

If you are a member of Facebook, I'd be delighted if you would add me to your friends list. There is also a new "yours2share" Facebook group which I shall be developing over the coming months. The objective of this group is to create a forum for people who are interested in sharing within the Facebook community. Facebook also allows more in-depth discussions and I hope to generate some debates!


And finally, here are a few of yours2share's recent ads that I really like: If you enjoyed reading our newsletter, please forward it to friends and colleagues.

We are always delighted to receive feedback.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
