LEASING LESSON HORSES
We offer part leases on some of our lesson horses. This is an opportunity for lesson students to do an additional day or two of riding each week, on their own. Lease rides must be done while an instructor is in the arena, and must follow all the same rules as the boarders (no jumping, stay out of the way of lessons, etc.) Lease rides are set on Tuesdays. There are no make-up lease rides allowed. Students interested in leasing must be approved by their instructor as being capable of catching, grooming and tacking up safely on your own. Talk to Lisa for more information, or to see which lesson horses are available to lease.
Lease Rates
Intro Lease $120 plus $240 for lessons + GST
There are also often boarded horses available for lease. Please note that the lease cost may vary on boarded horses, as the costs are determined by the owner of the horse, not Colchester Stables.
