Leasing options
Our program offers in barn partial leasing options for our lesson horses. Leases are based upon the availability and suitability of the horse to the rider. We will try to take into account if you wish to lease a certain horse. However, if the horse you would like to lease is not suitable for your riding level, we will suggest another option. Leasing consists of 1-3 lessons per week and a hack day. Hack days are optional, and based on your riding level, leases can be done without a hack day as well. Leasing allows you the ability to lesson on the same horse each time, as well as showing options with your leased horse. LOF reserves the right to still use any horse that is leased for the lesson program outside of your lesson time and hack day.
