Picture this: you get the best of both worlds, a chance to experience the joys of horse ownership without having to shoulder all the responsibilities (and costs) that come with owning a full-time equine companion. Leasing means you share the costs and responsibilities of caring for a horse with another party. Here at LUNA, we offer full and half leases!

Leasing a horse gives you the opportunity to have extra access to a particular horse. You can think of it as a test run before buying your own horse, or a cheaper alternative to horse ownership. For parents of horse crazy kids, it can be a way to encourage a child’s hobby without the major investment of buying.

When leasing, you are the “lessee,” and we are the “lessor.” A lease is meant to be a win for both of us! It allows you to have access to a horse you otherwise may not be able to have, and it also takes some pressure off of us. It also benefits the horse, since they will have a job to do, and get extra attention that we may not have the time to provide on their own.  The beauty of a half lease lies in its flexibility. Instead of being locked into a lifetime commitment, you can enjoy riding lessons, leisurely rides, or simply bonding with your horse during specified days of the week. For many young riders and urban enthusiasts, this option has emerged as an accessible alternative to full ownership, blending a passion for equestrian life with a realistic financial model.

There is a monthly fee, and you are NOT responsible for paying for costs like feed, stabling, vet care, farrier services or tack maintenance. We just have to make sure we are on the same page when it comes to horse care philosophies, riding schedules, and long-term goals for the animal’s well-being.

Benefits of Leasing:

There are two main upsides to leasing a horse. The first is the financial aspect. Horses are very expensive to own, so leasing is a more affordable option for many people. A lease allows you to pay a set fee for a set amount of time to have access to a certain horse. There may be other expenses involved depending on the type of lease you choose, but it will still be less than if you were paying for your own horse. 

The second is from a responsibility standpoint. If you just want to be able to ride a horse more often without all of the extra responsibilities involved in their care, then a leased horse will be a better option for you. If you are hoping to buy your own horse one day, a lease will give you the chance to take on a little more responsibility until you feel ready to buy a horse of your own.
