Leasing a horse instead of owning one

The farm also leases riding horses. A horse is matched to the rider, saddle and bridle are included, and the lease covers four half-hour lessons a month, scheduled around the instructors.

Leasing starts once a rider can show their instructor they can safely lead, tack up, and walk and trot in the ring. Riding outside the ring is cleared with the advanced instructor first. The lessee looks after the borrowed tack and is responsible for any damage or injury to it or to the leased horse.

ASK ABOUT A STALL

Inquire about boarding

Tell us about your horse and roughly when you'd want the stall. We'll come back with what's open, what the board covers, what it costs now, what's needed to hold a stall, and a time to come and see the place.

If you have one: age, breed, height, mare or gelding. Skip it if you're asking about leasing.

Horses here go out in small groups of two or three.

Grain and supplements, any medication, shoeing schedule, and who your vet is.

Ring work, trails, driving, lessons.

Habits, injuries, a horse that doesn't load, questions about the terms.

Come and see the place.

Nobody should take a stall sight unseen. Call and we'll set a time to show you the stalls, the turnouts and the arenas.
