To help defray feed costs, and to involve young people and adults in the lives of the horses here at the Ranch, we are looking for people to give our horses a temporary home for the fall, winter and spring seasons.

There are many advantages and disadvantages of leasing a horse. Depending on your particular situation, you can decide whether leasing is a suitable option for you. The most common reason a person would lease a horse instead of buy one is that leasing allows you to experience the joys and responsibilities of horse ownership without actually having to buy a horse, and without having to deal with certain liabilities.We want you to have a horse that you can enjoy and learn from.

If you are interested in leasing a horse, please don't hesitate to contact us. We fill up fast, and operate on a first come first serve basis.

RVR HORSE LEASE REQUIREMENTS:
• There is a $100 security deposit, fully refundable at the end of successful lease term.
• You must provide the names of a veterinarian and farrier. Stabling/pasture location must include shelter.
• It is expected that the horse will return with new front shoes (within several weeks of returning).
• You must be experienced in keeping a horse.

Our lease season starts on August 15th with our open house horse lease until March 1st. All of our leased horses are to be returned to River Valley Ranch by June 1st of the following year.
