I leased an awesome gelding with a scary
personality to a friend once. He did a good job working with him and took
him in one 25 mile CTR. He had him about three months and I was just happy
to get him a good home.
One day he called me up and said he was off and he
was taking him to Michigan State for a diagnosis. I ment him there and
after a complete work up, it was determined he had a fractured cannon
bone. Turns out my friend liked to trot on pavement alot. This
friend paid for the entire vet bill, but the horse was at my home that
afternoon. The horse healed, found a new gentle, likes to brush a horse
and not ride it home, but I never heard from the guy who leased him
again.
I often wonder. Anyway that was my
experience, you live and you learn, never to assume anything. I should
have told him not to trot alot on pavement.

need advice. now leasing
Well, I am in a bad
financial situation, plus the extra riding she would be getting seemed like a
good idea. But I know there are risks too. Like if she doesn't
ride her like is specified in our contract and goes galloping off and my mare
pulls a suspensory in the deep sand we have here. But she seems like a
good horsewoman and I have no reason to believe she will treat Mazzy badly.
Anyone have any good/bad leasing experiences?
