Hi,

I would be prepared to take on more than half of the expenses.  Offer to pay 
for all the gas, all the food for you two humans, and bring at least one 
really yummy treat whether it be something sweet, or a killer lunch for the 
vet check.  You should pay your ride fees, and if the horse needs shoes just 
so you can ride, then offer to pay for that.  Most people may not take you 
up on all this, but be happy if they do.

Remember, the owner of the rig will be incuring all the wear and tear on his 
vehicle and tires.   He/she has been feeding, vetting, outfitting, shoeing 
the horse you will be using.  If something happens to their horse, they will 
have to take the time off to meet the vet.  They will do the daily 
bandaging, the daily worrying, etc. These are expences that someone else 
will have to lay out in order for you to have one day of fun.  Yes, the 
owner would have done that anyway.  But they still had to do it.

I would prefer that when someone offers me a horse, that at the end of the 
ride, they feel like they are ahead of the game because I came along...not 
just even.

JMO,

Nina
