Leasing period?

Question

Hi everyone, what is the normal leasing period

(length) for a horse? eg a year, 6 months etc.

Answer 1

I leased a horse for 6 months. What i did was I only paid for the full board of the horse. Then i got full permission to see and ride the horse any time. We also paid for the farrier, while the owner still paid for vet bills ext.

Answer 2

Hi , it is upto the owner on a lease time some want to horse leased for it's natraul life with check ups here and there.

you are intitle to pay for ALL vet cost, Farrier vistits , Feed, buckets , rugs, hay, and other things you have to pay for

other people may have lease for 6 months muby they have a resuce comming in and need the horse gone for 6 months until the get the horses condition upto date . but it is maily 1 year lease Re-newed every year on the same day , and yes the horse is like having your own horse but there are sometimes conditions on the lease so for example they may state you have to ask permission and get it in writting to take the horse to a show or they may want to do cheack up's once a week . want photo's and 3 weekly updates other over the phone or e-mails set to them to see how the horse is going , You must inform them if the horse get's sick but you have to pay for the vet bill's so it like owning your own horse but you have to get permission for a few things I preffer to own as I do lol. thanks Krsitie

Answer 3

i'm pretty sure it is usually 1 year. and then when it is up the owner/s decide whether to stop the lease or let you renew it.

Answer 4

The period is negotiable-----usually a year. Yes you have full responsibility for all costs including insurance.

Answer 5

Perfect Question for Me (Im leasing my horse right now)

well technically it is the owners choice sometimes the owner will do a month but if the owner had it hard letting go of the horse they may lease for bout 4months+

With my horse situation at the moment, he was really close to me and we shared an unseparated bond, but i knew when i grew out of him, it wouldnt be fair to let him stay in the paddock fr the rest of his life, so becoz he meant so much to me i have him on 6Months lease with Option to buy.

Anymore questions about leasing i would be happy to answer hope that helps you

Answer 6

It is up to the owners and is usually negotiable. It can go from anywhere from a monthly basis to life depending on the circumstances.  As for the costs most leases or loans as they are normally known in the UK mean you pay for all of the costs however this is also up both parties what they agree.  In some cases the owner maintains insurance for there piece of mind and sometimes vet bills are split if they are not caused by an injury whilst being ridden.  If you do go for the leasing make sure you have a contract between you and the owner stating exactly what each of you are responsible for.

Answer 7

Typically I lease my horses out for a period of 6 mos.  Then the leasee has the option of getting out of the lease or buying the horse for an already agreed upon price.  I do supply some of the necessary tack/equipment which comes back to me after the end of the lease.

I make them responsible for all fees related to the horse, board, extra feed, shoeing, vet and anything else I can think of.  LOL  They have to buy their own brushes, fly spray, etc.
