Why Lease?

Leasing a horse is an excellent way to “get your feet wet” before making the leap into horse ownership. Leasing enables students to have access to and build a relationship with one horse over time without the full responsibilities that come with true horse ownership.

We have several horses to choose from depending on your level of skill and your goals. Call or email us to discuss our leasing options and we will do our best to provide you with your perfect teacher! Visit Our Team page for a list of the horses we have available for lease. Lease horses are for on-site lease only. Lease-to-own options are available.
