needed cheap horse for lease

[equinedreamer]

I would like to see if I could find a western horse for lease in Lex. Kentucky. I live in North Carolina but I go to college in Midway Kentucky and Midway is about 10 min. away from Lex. Because I'm a college student, I don't have a lot of money so I can't do anything too expensive. I'm looking for a Quarter horse that is trained in Reining. I would really like to start Reining as this is what I what to show in once I'm out of college. I'd really like to work with a gelding but a mare will do.

contacted local barns is probably your best bet. People rarely list horses for lease on sites like equine or dreamhorse

[equinedreamer]

Most of our local barns are big racehorse barns made for breeding. Three Chimneys, Home of Smarty Jones (Triple Crown winner), is right down the road. There is one western barn within good distance, I was thinking of taking lessons there, it has a well known Reining coach, but I'm not sure they lease horses over there. I'll have to ask after the 19th, when school starts back up.

Maybe you can try dreamhorse.com equine.com horsetopia.com or equinehits.com

I give those a shot. I've looked for horses for sale on all those web sites but never for lease. :D

My mom and I have a 16.2 h APHA mare for sale, her name is Mississippi Secret (we call her Missi) she has had tow lovely foals. She a great child/family horse. Has had LOADS of trail experience. Would make an awesome western pleasure horse. Selling due to not geting riden enough. $5,200 obo

If you would like to see some pictures of her, go to my profile then click on Mississippi Secret.

Missi is very cute but I can't afford a horse for sale right now. Right now I need a horse that I can pay a low one time price for and then care for it and stuff like that but the owner would have to pay for vet, feed, etc... And the horse would have to be really close to Midway Ky because I don't have a car yet and I still have to find a job! Finding your first horse to lease is harder then it looks! :(

[crazy4horses]

Okay... sorry, I forgot you wanted to lease a horse.

[equinedreamer]

It's cool. Like I said Missi is really cute. I wish I could buy a horse but I don't have anywhere to keep a horse, we live in a apt. in NC and I live in a dorm in Ky. My mum says that I should wait to lease a horse until I have gotten a job. I'm looking around for one, but I may have to wait until next summer. I have a job waiting for me down here in a local stable.

Here's a link that might help (I went to advanced search and put horse for lease, quarter horse)

There's one that is only 20 bucks. It doesn't say anything about her doing western, but he/she (think it's a she) might.

And some are expensive...just ignore those.

Hope this helps ya!

This is the linK:

[musiccraze777]

Oh great, forgot to think about where you live! *Smacks head* well, just go to advanced search and try typing in your zip code along with the other stuff.

[musiccraze777]

Ah, forget it. I just saw your location, and there's no horses for lease there. Sorry. =( gr.

[equinedreamer]

It's ok I looked myself for all breeds and there wasn't anything. :( but it's ok I can wait because I need to get back to school and find a job first :) but I will find a horse soon! :D

[musiccraze777]

Well, I know your pain. I want a horse too. And I haven't even started college...but I'm thinking if I can live on campus while being a parttime student, that's what I'm going to do because I want a 40-hour a week job to keep a horse.

And really, I don't want to go to college if I have to live at home.

Hope everything works out for you! Haha, too bad we don't live in the same state/city. Then maybe we could buy a horse together and split the costs (sure, would rather have my own horse, but then you would be able to afford it, hehe).

[equinedreamer]

Well I'm starting my second year of college and I've been thinking if I ask on of my fellow equine students if they board their horse near by may be I could ride someone else's horse. It's not as fun as having your own horse but it's free!

[musiccraze777]

Yes it is! =)

If you lived in houston, you could ride at our stables for free (it's nonprofit like the SPCAs of america...the government and I guess donations fund it...all the horses were donated...people used to loan their horses too, and they still could, but they changed their location). We have seven "everybody's horses". Hehe.

[equinedreamer]

Cool, I wish we had something like that around here! The closest barn to me when I in Midway is our barn on campus but I'd have to pay over 800 dollars for a riding class! I took beginning western this spring but I have too many classes this fall to take another class! I planing on taking intermed. western next spring but I don't want to wait that long! I'm already out of shape, if you don't use it you'll use it! :)

[musiccraze777]

Yeah...it's a stables that mostly is for people with disabilities to ride, but if you volunteer, you get to ride for free. Though usually, they just turn you loose if you can steer a horse (and sometimes will tell you what to do for a show, train a group at one time, one person at a time), if you stay after and Mrs. Rowling doesn't have to get home, she may help you work on something you want to...I had one trotting lesson after everyone left, but she's been busy...and frankly, I hate trotting. =/ wish it weren't so rocky, but then again, horses aren't buses, but I don't know when to go up or when to go down because when mrs. Rowling told me to, I couldn't feel any difference! (though maybe because I was too confused, heh). We ended it too briefly, and I think she did it because I kept pulling on deedee's reins like five seconds after she started trotting because I freaked. Mrs. Rowling mentioned that's why she kept stopping, and I told her I want her to stop when she does...earlier that day, I tried trotting on Ace because he was going so slow it bugged me (smut is a fast walker, and I was used to her wonderful gait), and the second time I signaled him to trot, he wouldn't listen when I freaked and tried to get him to stop...naturally, that shook me up even though I managed to stay on (by clinging to the exracehorse's neck), but of course, I was happy when Deedee stopped the SECOND I signaled her to.

Yeah, I ramble. I hope this isn't confusing!

[equinedreamer]

eventhough I ride western, my coach made my post at the trot and the walk. I learned pretty quick that if you let the horse lift you out of the saddle you'll find the rhythm it wasn't easy at first and boy was I sore afterwards! LOL :D

[musiccraze777]

hehe! ow! Yeah, I like the position of racing...no need to go up and down, just stay in two point. Two points fun. going up and down isn't!!

[equinedreamer]

You know, I'm going to college to learn how to help people with mental disorders by using horses for therapy riding. It's pretty cool! :D

[musiccraze777]

That's cool! sorry I didn't see that post for a while!

we work with people who have mental disorders and physical disorders...not sure it's for therapy, but we do not treat them like most people do. A lot of people believe that people with physical or mental disorders are incapable of doing ANYTHING.

I should know because I have hearing and eyesight problems, and I don't have perfect balance...and when I went to public school for the first time, I was a little annoyed because they believed I'd have to be put in lesser classes though they did try me out in regular. And I wound up being an honors student...but sometimes when people treat you like you cant do something, you start acting like it. It's called Self-fulfilled prophecy. Sometimes, I fight it, other times, I just...well, I'm kinda lazy. And if people expected more of me rather than babying me, I'd face the world easier. But I'm trying...

Anyway, yeahh, the kids at school say I'm deaf, which is stupid because I am just hearing impaired. Thank god they don't call me blind, but when I went to TSB (Texas School for the Blind) for their writer's workshop over summer, my friend said everybody thinks she's blind. I hate people who are ignorant! When I'm reading and my teacher calls my name, I look up, so duh, not deaf. But ppl at my school are dumb, so...la

But yeah, when I visited all the other ppl with hearing problems at my middle school, they were taking baby courses and didn't even come to school every day. People babied them waaaaaaayyyyyyyy more than they did me just because they had been in pub school all their lives. My stable manager, who works at the school, said that I'm right, they DO baby them.

The end of my talk, haha.
