I may half-lease a horse2007-11-24 21:16:56

I may get to half-lease a horse. She is really great. I would lease her from my instructor, and the horse is an incredible jumper. It is $650 a month to full lease and $325 for half-lease. I have to help pay for her. I need some ideas that a kid can do to get many for her. HELP?

A great way to earn money for keeping a horse is doing odd jobs around the barn. Ask the barn manager if there are any working programs you could be in. at my barn, a lot of younger girls work by tacking up horses, cleaning stalls, sweeping the barn, cleaning tack, ect. If you know how to bathe and braid horses, you can help some of the girls who do horse shows get ready (for a fee of course.) If you're old enough to baby sit, that's a great way to get some cash also.

Depending on your age, you can get a waiver signed and be able to have a 4 hour job. If not try the simple,and work for family and friends for what ever odd jobs they have for you.

This must be some horse. In my neck of the woods a person can lease a riding mare (no jumpers or show horses) for $800 a year, then pay for feed/keep and vets. Are you asking for ideas to get "money" to make this work, or "Many" something else? If it's "money" clean stalls, put the animals in and out and work around the barn(s). Once you have proven to be a good employee, you may get hired to exercise people's horses. For people working a 40 hour week, an evening or two off from exercise would be worth it.

i have a very strange leasing agreement with my trainer. i have a buisy schedule, between school, friends and everything else, some weeks i can only come and ride once and other weeks i can come 5 days out of the whole week. so my agreement is that i can go and practice on the horse that im "leasing" and i pay $10 each ride.
