Finding a horse for lease?

Question

Hey there, so I talked with my mom last night, and we both agreed that I can lease a horse! BUt I don't know where to start looking. :/ I've looked at dreamhorse, horsetopia, and equine.com, and they all come up with the same results, any tips on where to look? I'm doing this on my own, since my trainer isn't going to help me, I've asked her.

Answer 1

Google maps search for ranches near you and call them. I have found that horsepeople willing to help have the horse I'm looking for and those that are more stand offish or try to gip you will generally have a lesser horse to offer. Find a different trainer, 300 for 3 rides is ridiculous, the most expensive I have ever seen a lesson is at special once a year clinics but 35-65 per lesson is the norm.  

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Im thirteen and I looked everywhere.

Finally I want to equinehits.com I went to advanced search and

put my state, for lease, and the price range. Look what I found!

A horse that I want to lease, and Im even talking to the owner!!!

Once you find your dream lease horse, go out to visit it. Make

sure there is nothing wrong. Oh and possibly try to get another

trainer.

Best of luck!

Answer 3

Hey, yes um you could try Equisearch.com...but it may have the same results as well.....maybe try checking in local Tack Shops and if you can get The Rider's Advertiser or The Horse Trader?

Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Don't know the city or state your in, but if you try going to local barns to ask if they would be willing to lease their horse.  But, I honestly thought trainers got a cut out of leases so that is why they would be more likely to help you!

Answer 5

You need to find a new trainer if yours is unwilling to help you find a horse to lease. That's what trainers are for.

Ask at another barn and see if someone there knows of something or if their trainer will help you. They work on commission, so I can't imagine no one being willing to help. Ask around at a tack shop or feed store. Usually there are flyers hanging up, or someone there might know of something. Good luck :)
