So your child comes home and is all excited to lease a horse! What does this mean to you? It is a great opportunity for your child to gain more riding experience and skill. It also means investing in tack, getting your child out to the arena over the weekend, and supervising their safety. It also means ensuring proper care of the horse such as grooming and bathing as necessary. Our horses work hard all week in the lesson program and they appreciate extra care, treats, and reasonable exercise. Please do not excessively canter/ride your horse for long periods of time.
Southern Cross Stables leases two types of horses:
- show horses - Leasing a show horse means that your child is ready to begin showing at local as well as out of town shows that offer their skill level. A weekend lease of a show horse runs from Friday through Sunday and is $400 per month. A $50 deposit is required when leasing.
- lesson horses - Leasing a lesson horse allows a student more practice time and does not require the commitment of showing. A weekend lease of a lesson horse runs from Friday through Sunday and is $350 per month. A $50 deposit is required when leasing.
A lease agreement must be completed between Southern Cross Stables and the lessee. Lease payments are due the first of the month and are considered late after the 10th. A $20 late fee will apply to all late payments.
There can be a waiting list for both types of lease horses. If you do not plan to commit to a long term lease there is no guarantee that there will be a horse available when you can lease.
A 30 day written notice is needed by Southern Cross Stables when a lease is being terminated. Upon receipt of the notice the $50 deposit will be applied to the last month's lease payment. If a written 30 day notice is not received the deposit will be forfeited.
