There are 4 types of Horse Lease agreements. These are: Regular Equine Lease, Half-Day Equine Lease, Full Day Equine Lease, and Special Events Lease. The two types of horse lease that are not discussed here, which are not subject to the requirement of a minimum amount, are: Regular, Half-Day Lease- This is a one-month rental of a horse. There is no minimum lease amount. For example, if you want a horse that will work 3 days per week for 10 weeks, which will cost you 150.00, the regular horse lease for this would be 5.00/day. This is a one-month rental of a horse. There is no minimum lease amount. For example, if you want a horse that will work 3 days per week for 10 weeks, which will cost you 150.00, the regular horse lease for this would be 5.00/day. Fully Contracted — This is a horse rental contract. The owner must pay for all the equipment needed for the day. For example, with a fully contracted lease you would pay 10.00 for each horse. A Half-Day Lease — A Half-Day is a short term of rental for 2 – 3 days. Usually it is a one- or two-owner horse, so the owner has the option not to use the other owner as long as the lease does not prohibit the leasing. For example if you have an Equestrian Center that runs a one-day rental of a horse for 1.5 hours, but the Equestrian Center also operates an equestrian center with a different horse for 2 days, then the two days would be counted as one day for consideration. If there are no other horses available for the day, then the second half of the half day is considered full day. This would be 6.50/day. How do I determine whether my lease has a minimum amount? The minimum lease amount is the difference between the base price and a reasonable rental fee. The minimum lease amount for most horses is 500.00. Is the lease a sale? The horse lease can be considered a sale for the purposes of the state's anti-kickback statute, if the lease sells or offers to sell the horse from the horse lease. In this situation, you do not have to give specific notice of the horse sale to any of your tenants.

When a horse is leased, only the owner is expected to sign the formal agreement and provide the horse's information.
