Leasing

Leasing a horse means entering into an agreement with Rock Hill Farm where you, the lessee, pay a fee and gain the right to use and care for the horse for a specific period. It's essentially a temporary ownership experience, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of owning a horse without the long-term commitment and financial burden. 

​

Rock Hill Farm offers partial leases to qualified applicants. 

​

If you are interested in leasing a horse the first step is to come take a lesson with us. We need to establish a relationship with you before we can offer you a lease. Minors can lease horses with parental consent; however meet minimum standards must be met such as demonstrating capability to safely catch, lead, groom, and saddle horses independently.  A responsible adult must always be present when a minor is working with or riding a leased horse.

Benefits of Leasing:

• Affordability:

  Leasing can be more cost-effective than purchasing, plus there are no surprise costs such as vet.  You pay a monthly fee which provides you with the benefit of being allowed to come and ride the leased horse outside of a lesson, as well as to show the leased horse off-farm.

• Flexibility:

  Lease month to month. Cancel with 10 days notice before the next monthly lease period begins.

• Try before you buy:

  Leasing allows you to experience horse ownership without the full investment. 

• Skill development:

  Regular interaction with the horse can help you improve your riding and horsemanship skills. 

• No long-term commitment:

  You avoid the long-term responsibility of owning a horse for its lifespan.
