We know that many of our riders want to show, but do not own or fully lease their own horse! For that reason, we offer weekend leases for available horses or ponies when we travel to horse shows. The cost of the weekend lease will vary dependent on the skill level of the horse or pony. Please contact us if you are interested in taking one of your barn favorites to a show!
