Leasing and Hacking/Practicing: Check out our leasing page!  Most horses can be leased for as little as one day a week.  A lease means that you “rent” the horse for a set number of days per week to ride without an instructor.  The purpose of the lease is to ride more often with one horse to practice skills learned in lessons.  Lower level riders may be able to lease if a parent is a rider or has enough knowledge to assist safely.  Hacking/practicing is a one-time flatwork practice ride for an hour in the ring (not in a lesson).  It must be pre-arranged, and the student must be able to tack up independently.  The cost is nominal.  Both leasing and hacking must be supervised by an adult, and do not include jumping.
