What care is the lessee responsible for providing? A lease agreement should specify who is responsible for ensuring the horse receives adequate shelter, feed and water, grooming, exercise, farrier care, dental care, and veterinary care, including vaccines and deworming.

Full versus partial lease. A full lease means there are no restrictions on when the lessee can ride or otherwise use the horse. In a full lease, the owner typically does not use the horse. A partial lease, sometimes called a half lease, means the lessee can use the horse only part of the time.

In the full lease situation, the lessee usually pays for all of the horse's costs, such as boarding, feed, veterinarian bills, and farrier bills, in return for being able to use the horse whenever the lessee wants.

It's called the “half lease.” In this type of agreement, the owner of the horse or lessor splits the horse's care expenses and riding time with a lessee. It can be a beneficial way to save money on board, feed, vet bills, etc., and it can be great for your horse if your own saddle time is limited.

A partial lease arrangement, also known as a half lease, usually provides you with the ability to ride the horse you are leasing during certain days of the week. In a partial lease, you will be sharing the horse with another rider or the owner.

It can be a beneficial way to save money on board, feed, vet bills, etc., and it can be great for your horse if your own saddle time is limited. With respect to the lessee, a half lease can act as a steppingstone into horse ownership. However, it's not an agreement that should be taken lightly.

In most cases, lease fees are negotiable. Generally, the cost of a full lease for a year will range from 25 to 30 percent of the horse's value?in other words, about $2,500 for a horse worth $10,000.

With a full lease, you'll get either 5 or 6 days of riding each week (again, many owners may require a weekly lesson). You won't have to share with anyone else and can usually take the horse off-property and to shows.
