Our Program:

   We offer a comprehensive and surprisingly affordable program of monthly leases and half leases. Leases are designed to allow clients all of the benefits of horse ownership without the large financial responsibility.

   This program presents the opportunity to develop a relationship and bond with a horse that is not normally possible when just taking lessons. Young people benefit both from the responsibility of taking care of an animal and the self confidence gained by achieving their goals. Adults benefit from the stress relief that horses can provide and also from the limberness and physical conditioning obtained from regular riding. Riding exercises all major muscle groups and is weight bearing so its good for bone development. Leasing is also strongly encouraged for aspiring hunter/jumper riders as a way to help develop the muscle strength needed to truly hold a safe and effective form over fences.

What is involved:

   Leasing a horse means that you do not buy a horse, do not have to feed, and do not need to buy tack. You just need to love horses and have a desire to learn!

   No matter what level of rider or physical condition, we have a horse to suit you. Every effort is made to make sure that you are matched with the right horse. We want you to have a horse that you can enjoy and learn from.

   If you are interested in leasing a horse, please don't hesitate to contact us. We fill up fast, and operate on a first come first serve basis.

Cost

   All equipment is supplied with the lease, including saddles, bridles, and etc., at no additional cost. Lessons when a horse is leased are $24 for semi-private or $38 for private.

   A half lease allows the rider 3 days/week with the horse. Half leased horses are not used for other lessons on your days. Regular lessons are required, but you choose group or private.
