Lease on showjumpers

[jellybean08]

i was Jcmis, but i cant remember my password or what email address it was on whoops.
anyway.

i was wondering whether any of you know anything a bout leasing a showjumper.

i have been approached as to whether i would like to lease this showjumper.
he is 10 yro, jumps 1.20m easily, and gets placed regularly at this level. and should progress to bigger tracks, genuine straight type. couple £100 off grade b.

so im asking, when leasing, for a horse of that calaba, what would you expect to pay per month to lease it?

iu dont know anything about leasing, and havent got loads of money but i know that this horse would give me a really good chance, and i then have a second horse to jump round the bigger tracks.

I wouldnt expect to pay anything TBH, since the more you jump it then the more money it'll win and therefore the more money it'll be worth when they come to sell it!

agree with magic. normally if you loan it, you pay for its keep/look after it as if its your own but shouldnt have to pay the owners on top of that.

But the OP is talking about a lease, not a loan.

When you loan a horse, you normally pay for its keep but not a 'fee' to the owner. A lease involves paying for keep and a 'hire charge' or rent if you like, to the owner.

I made enquiries about leasing an intermediate event horse once. They were looking for approx £300 per month.

As it is 10 already and nearly Grade B I would be asking why is it only jumping 1.20s? I would think that its limit is 1.20 as you need to get placed in a lot of classes at the lower levels to win £1000 so why aren't they jumping it bigger. You should lease it as a 1.20 horse but if you are looking to jump bigger tracks I would want some proof that it can do it first.

cheers for the reply.

it has gone round a few 1.25m's, but the owner lives in wales, and the classes in her area only go up to 1.20m ans she also only jumps up to about 1.20m, but the horse has scope to jump biger absoultely fine.

i havent got loads of money rolling in, but i think this would be a really good opotunity for me to jump the bigger classes, and jump it along side my own horse.

but as i know nothing about leasing, i dont wana be paying too much for leasing it, when i dont earn loads as it is! lol
