School Horses Available for Leasing:

Leasing is a great way to learn how to take care of and ride a horse, and is a way to have a “horse of your own” without the time and expense involved with ownership. It’s also a wonderful way to help support the horses that need to be sponsored here at the ranch! We have horses for riders of all ages- young children, teens to adults, and all levels- from beginner to advanced... and everything in between! Check out our Lesson & Camp Horse page to meet these very well broke horses.

Lost Creek Ranch welcomes riders of all ages and abilities who are looking for a safe, supportive environment to learn new skills and make new friends. Horseback riding is the perfect activity to connect with nature while building confidence and getting excercise.

Leasing Versus Owning:
There are several advantages to leasing. You have the opportunity to learn all about the care and time involved with horses before you go out and buy. Upfront expenses to consider when comparing:

• Purchase price of a well broke horse of similar experience and manners will run anywhere from $3,500 and up.

• Tack: saddle, bridle, bit, halter and lead rope, saddle pad and blanket (which are all included with a lease along with all grooming supplies) will run about $1,500 and up depending on quality and if it is bought new or used. Brand new items will run upwards of $2,000.

• Trailer used, $2,500 (simple 2 horse) and of course, hopefully you have the truck to tow it!

• Boarding averages $200-$350 on average.

• Vet bills, farrier work, worming, etc. averages out to another $30-$50 a month. And that is if you have no injuries or illness!
