Horse Leasing Program
1/4, 1/2 & 3/4
Leases available!
Take Your Riding to the Next Level!
As your skills advance and your interest peaks, you may take advantage of the opportunity to lease a horse of your own. If you are an intermediate or advanced level student who is riding regularly in our group riding lessons, you may half lease A Lazy J Ranch owned horse. The horse leasing and showing program allows you to work with your leased horse in pleasure riding, local shows, scheduled recreational rides and in scheduled farm shows and clinics.
While in the horse leasing program, you can continue weekly lessons with the added benefit of practice rides and competition on your leased horse. This program is recommended for those students who are considering buying a horse but are not ready to take on the costs associated with the purchase and resale of the horse until they gain practical ownership experience. Horse leasing also provides the novice the opportunity to accelerate their skills, confidence, and experience that horse ownership requires without many of the upkeep costs involved. For example, Lazy J Ranch assumes costs for training, insurance, farrier, and vet services and will provide the means for you to get experience at local shows competitions and clinics.
