 HALF LEASE PROGRAM

Some of our school horses are available for a "half lease" program.  Leasing a horse provides an excellent way for potential horse owners to test out what it would be like to have a horse of their own.  The horses are available to be used by their lessees on the days they are not used for lessons (3-4 days per week).  This would include Saturdays and Sundays since we do not teach lessons on the weekends.   Available horses may be seen on our School Horse page.
