Leasing Question?

Question

Well, from what I heard, when you lease a horse you pay the vet bills and take care of it and can ride it whenever- like if its your horse but it isnt. Correct?

If you have a barn and pasture and even trail access, would the owner let you keep it at your house? or is it not likely?

Answer 1

Yeah your right,  its like your horse you pay for everything and ride him/her when ever you want. The owners may want to come se them once a week or so. And yeah if its full loan they will probably let you moove them to another stables, theres no answear to that it depens on the situation. But iv'e had 2 on loan in the past and they both of them i have been able to moove. Good luck..x

Answer 2

It can be different for every lease. Sometimes the people will take care of bills, but if the horse is injured because of you, then you will have to pay. But yes most leases are like you said but just ask the person your going to lease from before you do and they will tell you everything.

Its not likely that they would let you keep the horse but if you ask them they might let you take it out on a hack or something like that. It depends on the person.

From what you have said you might be better buying your own horse because a full lease can cost almost the same as buying a horse.

Answer 3

Correct, Your going to have to ask  but I don't think you can

Answer 4

Every individual lease is different, and all of these questions should be addressed to the horse's owner and agreed upon  in writing so you don't have any misunderstandings later on down the road.

Answer 5

well every lease is differant at my barn you have to keep the horse at the barn and u dont have to pay the bills and i can take care of him ride him when ever i want since i do a full lease where u ride as much as u want but u need to have at lease 3 lessons a week but u can ride whenever

but every lease is differant

Answer 6

I deffinitely depends. There are on and off farm leases. If it's an on the farm lease, than the horse stays on the farm. ect. Get the picture? Also, if it is a full lease it is most probably more than vet bills. More likely, vet, farrier and feed! However, if you do full care of the horse (you muck, you groom, you turnout, you feed, ect., ect!), it might be just vet. Like everyone said, it depends. For my half lease (I ride four or five days a week) I pay $300 flat. That means I pay 300 and nothing else at all for the month. Anyway, good luck with your lease! Hope I helped!

Answer 7

Sometimes you can move the horse and sometimes they want you to keep it where it is.

All leases/loans are different. I knew someone who kept a horse on loan and it stayed at the owner's place and they paid everything but the loaner had to pay them something ( I forget how much) every week. I also know someone else who had a horse on loan at their own place and they paid for everything ( except horse and tack) and didn't have to pay the owner anything.

It is all up to the owner and what they want - you have to sit down and discuss it with them and get it all written down so there are no surprises.

Answer 8

Well, each lease agreement is a little different. When you are figuring everything out, make sure to ask about shoeing, vet, trailering, if you can compete--everything that might apply to you and your riding so that no issues between you and the owner come up. Some leases you are only allowed to keep the horse at the owner's barn, or sometimes they will pay for part of the shoeing or whatever. But, yes in general it is like your horse but  just sort of on loan.

Depending on the owner, though, you will probably be able to keep it at your house, as long she approves of the conditions there.

Answer 9

every lease is different.  some people allow you to keep the horse you are leasing at your house, this is mostly when they are very nice and cant ride at all (time, injury, etc) or when they cant afford the horse at their house, or are moving

i didnt have to pay the vet bill, i would've had to pay the farrier, but he didnt come out in the month i leased.

depends on if you are half leasing, or full

full~ like the horse is yours

half~ 3-4 days a week, you share the horse with the owner

Answer 10

Every person is different. You would need to ask the owner personally.

Answer 11

There are many different kinds of leases. You can basically negociate everything with the owner.

Most people don't charge vet/farrier to the leaser. It doesn't make sense. For example, if I was to lease out my gelding, I would charge say, $150 a month, for three rides a week. And thats it. They could use my equipment etc.

And I would allow access to trails etc. All leases are different though, but this is how they usually work.
