On Your Lease Day
On your lease day the horse is yours to ride. You may ride the horse only once on your lease day and for a maximum of one hour. You can spend as much time as you would like during Shadowlane's open hours at the barn and with the horse, fussing over them and doing groundwork with them for however long you would like. On your lease day(s) you are responsible for the general care of the horse. Leasing is a great way for riders to further their skills, gain experience, and spend more time in the saddle.
Riding a horse when leasing is different then when riding in a lesson. There is no coach monitoring your ride, you chose how long you ride for, and you chose what you work on when you ride. You can ride in the ring or you could go on a hack (weather and ground conditions permitting). When leasing you can ride when there are no lessons, or you can ride around a lesson that is going on. When riding during an ongoing lesson it is the responsibility of the rider that is leasing to stay out of the way of those having the lesson. When picking a time to ride keep the lesson schedule in mind so that you can choose a time that is suitable for you. It is important to follow riding safety and etiquette rules at all times.
