Our Lease Horses

Leasing is a great next step for riders who want more time in the saddle and a deeper understanding of horsemanship. Having a consistent horse allows riders to practice between lessons, fine-tune their skills, build a partnership, and gain confidence both in and out of the saddle. It also provides a taste of the horse ownership experience—more riding time, grooming, care, and responsibility—without taking on the full financial commitment and responsibilities of owning a horse.

Toucan Keep A Secret

Toucan is a 12-year-old, 16.3h Friesian/Percheron mare looking for someone to love and trust her. She hasn’t always had it easy, so she can be slow to warm up, making her ideal for a patient leaser willing to earn her confidence. Toucan is settling back into a working lifestyle and has already come a long way—she has three smooth, Friesian-style gaits and has started crossrails under saddle. She’s brave, curious, and loves the idea of jumping; with the right partner, she could be competing by next season. There isn’t a mean bone in her body—no buck, rear, kick, or bite—and she’s a dream on the crossties, stalled, or in the trailer. Her only quirk is that she can be hard to catch at first, but she quickly rewards consistent attention and trust. In addition to Toucan, we have a wide range of lesson and lease horses at all levels—message us for rates, more info, and to set up a lesson to meet your perfect match!

Toucan is available for partial, half or full lease

Cisco

Cisco is a 14.1 19-year-old Spotted Saddle Horse gelding who offers the smoothest ride around. Gaited and easy to sit, he can still trot, canter, and even hop over small jumps. He’s great on the trails, solo or with company, and is happy to go with the flow. Cisco is a camp favorite for good reason—he’s friendly, sweet, and loves kids and adults alike. Though he has a touch of stubbornness, he responds well to confident, assertive riders. Once he knows you mean business, he’ll give you his best every time. Cisco would be a great fit for someone that’s looking for a reliable, safe horse to build their confidence out on the trail or in the arena.

World On a Wing

Ringo is a seriously talented horse with all the makings of a competitive partner as he continues to work his way out of his green phase. Currently competing at 2' with a junior rider, he has a big, open stride, loves to jump, and genuinely enjoys his arena work.

Ringo is incredibly sweet, safe, and honest with no funny business under saddle. If he weren’t naturally so forward, we’d trust him with beginners! He’s best suited for a confident rider who can appreciate his enthusiasm and continue developing his skills. Despite his forward nature in the ring, Ringo is bombproof on the trails and will happily ride quietly on the buckle.

He is truly a special horse with a wonderful brain, plenty of talent, and so much potential for the right rider.

Congratulations to Maddie Lancaster on her partial lease of Ringo!

Dear Darla

Darla is our resident confidence builder and truly worth her weight in gold. She’s talented enough to compete into the .90m divisions, yet trustworthy enough to carry some of our littlest riders to their very first shows over poles and crossrails.

Darla is the definition of safe, steady, and reliable. She’ll trail ride alone, stand on the cross ties all day, happily tolerate baths and clipping, and trailer quietly. She’s scared of just about nothing and will jump just about everything!

For someone looking for their first lease horse, it’s hard to beat Darla. She offers the opportunity to build confidence, gain independence, compete, and experience having a horse of your own with a partner who truly knows her job.

Congratulations to Sheridan Tarbutton on their partial lease of Darla!
