1. you can lease to own or lease to use for a certain amount of month. meaning it will never be your horse your just borrowing it like you are a pair of roller blades at a roller rink. lol
2. It depends on the time of lease you do. You could do a feed lease, where you pay for the bills of the horse. Or you can do a standard lease where you pay a certain amount each month. The point of a lease is that you have access to a horse without having to pay the full price of a horse. Hope this helps!
3. With the standard lease, you pay a certain amount to ride a certain amount - with a full lease, you generally have unlimited access, with a half or part lease, it may be able to ride on certain days or a certain amount during the week. A free lease generally means someone needs someone to take over the bills of the horse, but doesn't want to give up the horse. This means paying board if the horse is boarded, or paying for feed and sometimes paying for farrier and vet service. Leasing is a great way to find out about the responsibilities of horse care without the risk of horse ownership. If you decide horse ownership is not for you - you can give up the lease and not have to worry about selling a horse you do not want. Some of the dangers are that someone might sell the horse out from under you - sometimes they will tell you the horse is for sale and some unscrupulous people will sell it without your knowledge.
4. When you lease a horse you are basikly like renting it! You take care of it like it is your own!
5. It depends on the barn. There are different leases which state you can ride the horse however many times a week. (Full lease, 3 or 4; half lease 2; quarter lease, 1). You might also have to pay for half the charge for the farrier, vet, etc.
