Many people rush into the idea of owning a horse after a few lessons or trail rides, only to learn they have gotten into more than they can handle. While owning your own horse can certainly be an enjoyable and rewarding decision, it can create many challenges the novice rider may not be prepared to handle. Horses for lease can provide an opportunity to get a taste of horse ownership without the long-term financial commitment of purchasing a horse.  These opportunities can provide a great chance for you to brush up on your skills and see if you really want to take the plunge into horse ownership

The Benefits of Leasing a Horse
 

Leasing a horse provides you an opportunity to have access to a horse on set days of the week. During your scheduled lease times, you will be responsible for grooming, riding and caring for the horse as if it were your own. A lease gives you a chance to hang out at the barn, get to know the other riders and get some much needed riding time in without the restrictions of formal lessons.

 

Leases are generally structured as a full lease or a partial lease.

 

* A full lease means that you are the only one riding and working with the horse, and you will typically have access to the horse and Barn six  days a week. In a full lease you treat the horse as if it were your own. While the financial burden of a full lease may seem like a downside to leasing, it gives you a chance to see what these types of services will cost you when you do buy horse.

 

*A partial lease  allows you access to the horse on set days of the week. Partial lease is a much more economical decision for those riders who only are able to come out a few days a week but still want to experience having a relationship with there horse.
