LEASING

• Affordable Rates
• Quality Show Horses
• Option or Prelude to Horse Ownership
• Greater Opportunities for Showing

We have a wide selection of horses and ponies for lease. Leasing provides an opportunity for students and parents to "try on" the financial and time commitments of horse ownership without the up front cash investment. In a "half-lease" the leaser agrees to pay half of the expenses on a horse and is entitled to the use of the animal three days a week; one day being a lesson. The leaser is also entitled to take the horse away to shows.

Leasing Costs - The monthly fees vary with the horse.  We have a range of possibilities for student who want to  try on full or partial horse ownership. Many of our owners make arrangements to lease their horses for a fee, and several of our school horses are also available at a lower rate. The fees common to all horses are full or partial billing of the following: board, farrier fees, routine veterinary care and a lesson package.  All of the public and CE lesson packages are offered at a reduced rate to students riding a boarded horse.  Most horses have lease fees associated with them as well.  The lease fees for a school horses are very low (0-$50/month) while show horse leases, when available are higher ($200-$2000/month).

HALF-LEASE

What is it?
You pay half the board and expenses (vet, farrier, etc.) on a horse or pony and get that horse 3 days per week, including lesson days. The days you do not lesson, the horse is yours to ride and practice what you have been taught.

How long is the commitment?
There is no contract to sign. I like you to intend a six month commitment but I will not firmly hold you to it if the lease is not working out for you.

What are the benefits?
Advancement into the boarder lesson program, which is more technical and full of peers who are more serious riders. Having a horse available to take to away shows. Provides an opportunity to try the financial and time commitments of ownership while you can still get out. More riding time is available. There is a limit to how good a rider you can be when riding only once a week or only with other public lesson students. You will be amazed at how fast you will progress once you join the boarders and ride more often.

If you are interested please contact Kathy Osborn to talk about which horses/ponies are available and the costs associated with each.
