Borrowing, Leasing, or Buying a Horse
Three paths to being mounted, and which one fits your first season.
Buying a HorseArticleBeginner7 min read
Almost nobody should buy a horse in their first six months. Borrow first.
Leasing sits in the middle: you get consistent access to a known horse for a season without tying up the capital, and most leases include a maintenance agreement.
When you do buy, buy finished. A green horse and a green rider is the most reliable way to slow both of them down.
Key Points
- Borrowing is the cheapest way to find out if you want to do this
- Leasing gets you a full season without the capital
- Buying green is the most common expensive mistake
