| LEASE / PURCHASE |
| LEASING A HORSE: Leasing a horse for show or pleasure is not a difficult procedure providing you are associated with a professional and have access to a well run stable. Often, a nice horse can be found that an owner is trying to sell, but are willing to lease the horse in an attempt to have more exposure for the horse and increase their chance for a sale. Costs incurred: * Board * All health and shoeing expenses * An insurance policy for the health and well being of the horse in your care. * Tack ** In essence you take on all the expenses as if it is your own horse, but at the end you either buy the horse or send him home after an agreed amount of time. ***Costs may be divided with a shared lease. This must be discussed ahead of time and agreed with all parties concerned. |
| PURCHASING A HORSE: Purchasing a horse for show or pleasure can be an intimidating experience. There are an abundance of horses out there and only a few are great, some are good, and many are not so good. Please take the advice of a professional (vet and trainer) before taking the plunge into horse ownership. Jeanne reminds all of her clients that you have to feed, shoe, vet, and train the horse every month; she advises to make your intitial investment (the horse) a good one. Costs incurred: * Board * All health and shoeing expenses * Tack * Insurance is an option (recommended) * Purchase price: A. You may pay in one lump sum. B.
