Leasing
We are excited to offer several different lease opportunities on many of our lesson horses. Our lease program allows riders to get extra practice time and to develop a deeper bond with a horse without having to make the financial commitment to full-time ownership, or as a first step on the horse buying journey.
Leasing gives you preference for using the horse in clinics hosted by Meadow Ridge, and shows
attended by Meadow Ridge. We work with our lessees to design and build a riding program that helps to build riding skills, as well as to benefit the horse’s health and fitness. Jumping is not allowed during lease rides. Anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult while riding.
Weekly lessons are required to be eligible for leasing. Please note that lease fees are separate and in addition to lesson fees. See our lessons tab for more information about lesson pricing.
If your lease horse is unable to be ridden for an extended period of time we will work with you to find a temporary horse to ride. We will ask for help in the care and rehabilitation of your preferred lease horse (i.e. hand walking/grazing, cold hosing, strength building under saddle when horses are cleared to go back to work.)
Monthly Lease Fees (in addition to the monthly lesson fees):
$150: This entitles you to priority on the horse for your weekly lesson (but not guaranteed over someone with a bigger lease), and one extra practice ride per week.
$300- This entitles you to priority on the horse for your weekly lesson (but not guaranteed over someone with a bigger lease), and two extra practice rides per week.
$450- This entitles you to priority on the horse for your weekly lesson (but not guaranteed over someone with a bigger lease), and three extra practice rides per week.
Additional practice rides outside the scope of your lease will cost the $40 practice ride fee.
Practice Rides:
Practice rides are great for riders who want extra saddle time, but who are not able to commit to extra rides every week. We require practice rides to be scheduled with us ahead of time, and horse availability is subject to scheduled lessons and lease rides. Jumping is not allowed during practice rides. Anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult while riding.
