Leasing a Horse
Horse Ownership
You and/or your kids love horses and are thinking of buying one! Consider that the cost of owning a horse goes far beyond the initial purchase price.
Boarding – A monthly stabling cost will run you from $350 to $1000 (included: Feed, shavings for bedding, stall cleaning and use of the facilities).
Veterinary Care – If your horse remains perfectly healthy, your yearly vet expenses will run approximately $600 for immunizations, worming and teeth floating. If your horse becomes ill, your medical fees can run from $1000 to $10,000 just for one isolated incident.
Farrier/Shoeing -Horses hooves need to be trimmed and re-shod approximately every 6-8 weeks at an average cost of $150.
Miscellaneous – Shampoos, fly spray, horse toys, saddle, saddle pads, bridle, bit, blankets, fly masks, coolers, sports boots, shipping protection, horse shows, clinics, lessons, training, etc. The list is pretty long of things you’ll end up spending money on!

Limited Lease allows for a one day a week lease, but with an assistant to be around to help with any issues or questions that might arise. It’s not a private lesson, but it’s guaranteed assistance on the lease days. Monday-Friday only is allowed for limited lease days. No weekends.
Limited Lease is an additional $125 per month on top of the normal lease price.
