The Half-Lease Contract.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.
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.
