FAQ
The advantage of leasing is that you get all the benefits of horse ownership without the full financial commitment. Also, you get the benefit of horse ownership without the responsibility of having to make big decisions as far as the horse's health and well-being.
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.
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.
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.
HALF LEASE: For $200 per month you have a horse of your own three days each week, including preferred use of that horse for your riding lessons, camps and clinics. You must still take your regular riding lessons during your lease period, and riding times may be specified as daytime or evening.
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.
Lease-to-Buy Equine Contract To purchase the horse, the buyer will pay the full purchase price during the lease term. During this time, the buyer will continue making lease payments per the parties' agreement, which will potentially go toward the total purchase price of 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.
