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.
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.
Leasing a horse is nearly always less expensive than buying one.Leasing often allows riders of all levels to get a better quality horse than they might buy. Horse owners don't usually sell their best or most promising horses, but do lease them out when they don't have time for them or need some extra income.
