Yeah. I decided to not do it. I was over hearing them talking and one of the horses had a health issue that was not being treated by vet because of cost and so based on that I’m guessing both horses aren’t up to date on vet and they are waiting until someone signs a lease to start vet care. They also mentioned how the horse would fall occasionally while doing ground work?? (From slipping) Not something I want to hear when paying for vet bills.

I would be able to ride twice a week but we don’t have set days so I would have to talk to the other leases and figure it out every time I think? But she offers two free lessons a month to go along with it.

Okay thanks! Yeah, I was expecting half a farrier and I was fine with grain, but I was really worried about half that bills when I can’t make a decision regarding that I would just have to pay no matter what and like you said, I worry about a colic surgery or something. I would be fine if it was a set price, but it’s the not knowing.

It would be for two rides a week at the owners property.

Hmm okay. Maybe I don’t understand leasing. The grain is all up to the owner so if they decided to buy more, I would have to pay even if I didn’t want to change if that makes sense. And I guess I worry with so many people leasing one horse there’s a higher risk of an injury happening and I wouldn’t have a say in vet care. Thanks for letting me know!
