I've searched "horses for sale or lease" on Google many times. Mostly, I get horses that are around 150-200 a month, and the owner sometimes keeps the horse on their own property. That's all the info I have though, sorry.

I know how to help! by: Brianna
I have been leasing a quarter arab pinto mare who is six years old for the past 5-6 months. (I do dressage) I have been riding for the past 5 years.
Here is what I pay for: -Lease Days -Lessons plus the lease for that day
It costs I think 50 a day for my lease and I lease 3-4 or more times a week that costs around (I get discount) 400 for lease and lessons per month. You should know how to lunge a horse and a parent should be able to be at the barn with you if a trainer is not there.
Remember that the point of leasing is to practice what you learned in the weeks lesson. You should talk to your instructor about whether or not you are ready to take on the responsibility because the horse IS YOURS on that day. (Your responsible for injuries blah blah blah..) Aside from paying for lease you also get a fraction of the bills for hoofs, board, feed etc. Well I hope this helps!

I can help! by: Rayna
Oh my gosh! When I read this I was all "Did I post this?" I am in the exact same place as you!
What I read is that in the full lease situation, the lessee usually pays for all of the horse's boarding costs in addition to routine farrier and veterinary care in return for being able to use the horse whenever you'd like. The restrictions on the full lease are much less than on a share-lease, where the owner and lessee must communicate frequently about the shared details. The full lease usually does not restrict riding times and days, and also does not usually restrict access to the horse for special events such as horse shows.
The share-lease situation is less expensive than leasing a horse completely by yourself, but still allows you usually 3 days per week to work the horse. In the share-lease, boarding expenses are split between two individuals (usually the horse's owner and the lessee), in exchange for the lessee to care and ride for the horse 50% of the time. If you'd like to get involved in a share-lease, be sure that everything is clearly understood and written in a contract first. This includes where the horse will stay, how much is paid in expenses by each individual, schedules for the split riding time and special occasions such as horse shows, and who is responsible for the routine care of the horse.
Most full leases ask you to pay for 50% to 100% of the horse's board fees in addition to a lease fee. Lease fees are usually very negotiable. The full lease fee should be in the range of 25% to 30% of the horse's total value per year. So, if the horse is worth $10,000, the lessee will usually pay about $2,500 per year.
The share-lease is usually less complicated in payments, because it is usually equal to ½ of the horse's boarding fees. Don't decide to lease the horse until both you and the owner are agreeable on the fees and conditions for your situation.
Well one of the WORST things about leasing a horse is that sometimes. . . you can get very attached to the horse and when they have to go back to their right owner it can break your heart :'(

Same here... by: Horserider
I'm in the same situation as you. I want a horse but Its pretty expensive to board one. So I may lease one. At my stable it varies for the price to lease. Every place is different, ask your trainer!
