Leasing With Pleasant Oaks Equestrian Center
Having a horse gives the rider the best opportunity for improvement, opportunity, success, character growth, and many lifelong skills. When you have a horse or pony it becomes easier to access saddle time and no time in the saddle is wasted time for an improving rider. It is our job to help pair riders with the best possible match for their goals and individual needs. With our large network and on property horses, it is always an enjoyable experience to find your perfect horse or pony. Whether you are looking for a top quality investment horse or the first intro lease pony for your child, we will guide you through the entire process.
When you move often, are inbetween riding levels, or first time horse owners; a lease can be appealing. The benefit of leasing can be the flexible options to allow your family to become familiar with having a horse or pony. It also can be a simple way to get the rider advancing in riding levels or show division before a more permanent commitment. Planning horse shows and lessons becomes easier and cost efficient . When leasing you have the option to Half lease or Full lease. When leasing, MOST horses require the lease fee to be paid in full for the lease period. Typical lease periods range from 6-12 months.

Above we hope to provide the information needed to clearly make a decision as to what makes the most sense for your unique situation. At Pleasant Oaks, we believe that every rider should have the opportunity and be given the skill set to succeed to their full potential. We know with years of experience, that success starts with the correct equine partner. It is our job to ensure that each horse and rider are paired appropriately. We also believe that the sport should remain accessible to all riders as it constantly evolves and changes. The opportunity for riders on an NCAA level as well as on circuit is rapidly increasing. We hope to provide each rider and horse with the skill set to compete locally, nationally, and internationally.
