Ways to make money to lease a horse.?
Hello. I have been taking lessons for 2 1/2 years and I really want to lease this one horse that I ride at my lessons. So I was wondering what are some ways that I could pay for the lease. I talked to my instructor how much it would cost to lease her and she said maybe around $200 a month for a 3 day lease. Also is that a good price for a 3 day lease? Thanks in advance

you could always check around at other stables/barns/riding academies in your area, or place an ad online or in local paper for such inquiry.. but you know this mare so this is important consideration.
you would lease her at her location? and not on your premises?? either way this seems like an excellent opportunity becoming familiar with grooming, feeding, tacking, and exercising the horse.
try dog walking or baby sitting to raise cash, maybe a part time job or offer to work at the stable.

Leasing a horse should never cost more than a few hundred dollars per month 1) never agree to a lease where you are responsible for vet bills other than routine. Same with farrier costs. 2) do a half lease. You can usually ride 2-3 days per week 3) agree to put in a few hours of barn work on days you ride I've leased a few nice dressage horses and have never paid that much A lease also benefits the owner. The owner gets additional income which is always needed. The horse is getting additional care and grooming, plus you are willing to help out at the barn

No that is not a good lease price for only 3 days you would be paying about 2000 dollars a month but if you can work it out so that you get a better deal like 200 per month than I would lease the horse. Also for getting the money I would get a job plus maybe work at a local barn or where you ride before and after school and on weekends

That is a good arrangement. Sometimes people want cash for a lease so they can pay the vet bills. Or farrier.
Be sure you get the entire lease in writing, who is responsible for what.
You can ask if they would exchange duties in place of cash, but some people have been burned. The horse must be fed and cared for, hence why they might want money.
Does any of the lease moneys go toward purchase. What happens if the horse goes lame? Are you responsible? Is it month-to-month.
Try a three months lease for a trial and see how it goes. But be sure EVERYTHING is in writing.

@Alwayshorses; It helps to read the question. The asker even said $200 *a month*, not for just three days of riding.
In my area, that's a pretty good price (full is $600, half is $300), but it might be way too much depending on where you live.

That's a pretty good price. my barn is 400 for 3 days. anyway talk to the barn owner see if you can work off lessons. That's what I did when I started taking lessons. I worked for them.
