Why lease out your mare or stallion?
Do you have a quality mare or stallion that you are not currently using and would like to
be relieved of horse care and expenses for that horse for some time? Perhaps you are in college, recovering from health
problems, traveling out of the country, retiring from breeding or maybe you just want to see your horse doing something more
than being a pretty pasture pet. We will consider leasing stallions on a limited basis which may or may not include continued
training and competition when possible. We may be interested in leasing your horse so please get in touch.

Appaloosas of sport horse type (ApHC
or ApSHA registered)

or RPSI)

Thoroughbred mares (only if JC registered and approved in a warmblood
registry)
Breeds of stallions we would consider:

When we lease a horse...
Our Experience
- Breeding leases are not new to us and we are happy to provide references (vets, farrier) as well as from mare
owners with which we have worked. We are also able to provide references from sellers of mares who have been pleased
with our level of communication extending so far as 9-10 years post-purchase. We are happy to send periodic updates,
photos and even information about them and their offspring. Some of these sellers and lessors have personally
visited our farm and can attest to the condition and care of both their horses as well as our own. We even had one seller
visit our farm before she would agree to sell us her beloved mare. She inspected every inch of the farm as
well as the condition of our horses. That mare is part of our broodmare band now.
Visitation
Welcomed - We welcome sellers and lessors the opportunity to visit our farm prior to a purchase or lease...we've
had both situations and understand you want to be sure your horse will receive good care. As a seller
or lessor we are also happy to have you visit your horse here, if you like, including coming to see a mare's offspring
and share in the enjoyment of seeing your mare's foal(s).
Cameras - Another
feature we have that our mare owners appreciate is a camera system that allows you to check in on your mare when she begins
to approach foaling and will be spending some time in a foaling stall. We broadcast one camera via the MareStare service.
We have additional cameras, privately broadcasted, which our mare owners can access using a password. You can watch your
mare foal out on the internet day or night and check in on her and the baby when they are in the foaling stall.
You can even watch your mare and her foal during their first turnouts because we have another camera that covers
our new foal turnout paddock. We feel this helps mare owners feel more comfortable because they are able
to observe the level of care that their mare is receiving as well as having the opportunity to get involved in the foaling
process even when they can't be physically present.
Terms - We are open to shorter
term and longer term breeding leases. We've had leased mares here for multiple years. We can
discuss the details specific to your situation.
If you have a horse you feel we may be interested in
leasing please contact us.
