She leasses them a fully trained trail horse...which some of them use
for the small shows here. They have to be in her lesson program
already....they need to take lessons with her on the horse that she
leases, that helps the horse and the rider, both benefit.
She does not charge them board...they are either out on her pasture
at no charge whatsoever, or if approved they can be taken to the
leasees home.
A lot of these horses are leased to children. And really leaseing a
horse for a child with a good dedicated traniner makes a lot of sense
to parents. The parents have help, there is a lesson program, and
the child can do trail rides and be involved in the small shows here.
All with the help of the trainer, who BTW Karen, gives many many
hours of work at no charge to the horses and riders. Once the child
or adult in some cases needs a more challenging horse, they can get
another one without the hassel of selling or buying.
Didn't you say that some (all) of them stay boarded with
> her? Are these pushbutton show horses? I don't think there's a
market here for leasing trail horses with those terms -
I was never saying there was a market in NC for this exact type of
lease. Only that if someone wants to leased their horse they are in
controll of the terms to protect their horse. Leasing with a good
nortorized contract can do that. Is it perfect, nothing usually is.
Karen, I was not trying to get anyone to sign up foir a deal.
However the message is this really. If someone is leasing a horse,
the owner can stipulate the terms, period. If something happens in
the lease you can pull your horse away from someone who is
mistreating it. I thought you of all people would see the beauty in
protecting the horse.

At that point she had evry right to take the horse home. She also
had every right to have the vet check at her place before taking over
to someone else. She had rights and did not utilize them.
It is important to know that if you lease your horse, get every
little detail down, have it signed and nortorized....and follow
through on youre rights as the horse owner, that is important.
