LEASES AVAILABLE!! I’ve been so focused on boarding, lessons, camps and shows lately the lease opportunities haven’t been getting any attention, so let’s talk about leasing!
I actually have TWO rare openings at Sunbury barn right now, due to one leaser going off to college and one getting their own horse! I also have several great options available at MV barn! Lease prices start at $150/month for 1 day per week.
I offer leases for specific horses as well as rotating leases for riders who like variety or have scheduling limitations. All leasable horses are used in the lesson program, so you must schedule your lease rides in advance but it does not have to be the same day each week! Youth leasers do have a lesson requirement, but the frequency is based on skill level. I do not lease to anyone below advanced beginner level, but I do love to start beginners in lessons with leasing and ownership as their goals!
Of the two available lease spots at Sunbury barn, one horse is intermediate friendly and available for 1x a week. Sherman is a trusty old man, still plenty of get up and go and loves his job! He does go to a lot of the shows, so unless you’re going with us you’ll need to be willing to schedule your lease rides during the week when he has show weekends.
The other is Hanna, who requires an advanced rider, and is available for up to 3x per week. Hanna will only be at Sunbury barn through the end of this show season, as some students are actively campaigning her while I take the year off to set up my boarding business, but she will move back to MV barn in November to return to training with me. She is my personal eventing horse and I plan to hit the circuit again next year 😉 I’m happy to share though if her leaser is willing to move with her!
Mount Vernon barn has several great options available now! Molly, Tilly, Sophie, and Britney are all available for at least 1 lease day per week, some of them could do 2-3x a week. All 4 can go English or western, Molly and Tilly jump, Sophie definitely knows more dressage than you, everyone trail rides like a dream.
Britney is the only one of these ladies who requires a more advanced rider currently, and that is only because she is very sensitive and strongly prefers a calm, quiet and very well balanced handler. She has aaaalll sorts of interesting buttons, is 5 gaited (though we are still learning how to ask for specific gaits and not just whatever foot patterns she feels like giving me based on what speed I’m asking for) and is the most comfortable horse I have ever had the pleasure of running a hunter pace on. Those of you who know me in person know I have horse lady back issues and I was not sore at all even after we did 4 miles at full speed!
All leasers within my program have options/opportunities to take their lease horses to shows, trail rides, hunter paces, fox hunts, hound walks, clinics, horsey playground trips, anything that sounds fun and can be arranged logistically we will do! There’s also plenty of indoor and outdoor riding space at both barns, the only thing that’ll get in your way (other than life in general 😅) is extreme heat or extreme cold!
