FAQ
A free lease means that the horse is leased to someone without any payment to the owner. When you have a free lease you retain ownership and control of your horse but your horse, in best case scenarios, is still cared for and loved. Everyone wins. The owner has good care for the horse they love.
Decide How Many Days the Lease Is For. Will you be offering a part or a full lease of your horse? Determine What Experience the Rider Needs. Decide on the Lease Price. Decide on the Lessee's Responsibilities. Determine Any Limitations. Draw Up a Contract.
Option #1: The person leasing the horse is responsible for all of the horse's expenses (board, feed, veterinary, farrier, etc). The person leasing the horse may ride or use the horse any time they'd like. Full leases rarely restrict riding days, times, or horse-related events, like attending a horse show.
Full Leasing a Horse When you full lease a horse you pay an agreed upon fee for exclusive access to the horse. This means you are the only one riding the horse.
FULL LEASE: For $400 per month, you will have full, exclusive use of the horse. Full-leases require that you also pay to the costs of routine farrier and health care, which will vary according to the horse's needs.
Contents of a lease agreement: Names of the lessor and lessee or their agents. Description of the property. Amount of rent and due dates, grace period, late charges. Mode of rent payment.
When you full lease a horse you pay an agreed upon fee for exclusive access to the horse. This means you are the only one riding the horse.Oftentimes a full-lease also comes with the additional costs of board, veterinary expenses and shoeing expenses. It is pretty much exactly like owning the horse yourself.
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. Although that still may seem a sizeable investment for a budget-minded rider, it's a practical way to have access to a worthwhile horse.
