Horse leasing, also known as "shareboarding," provides a convenient and affordable way to learn about the basics of horse ownership. It allows you to ride and spend time with the horse on your own terms, offering the many advantages of horse ownership at a fraction of the cost and responsibility.
Woodstock Equestrian has a nice selection of horses available for shareboarding, and will introduce you to the ins and outs of horse ownership. Our staff will not only help you learn how to ride a horse, but will also introduce you to all other aspects of ownership, including veterinary care, hoof care, horse nutrition, tack, and grooming.
For the more experienced rider with limited time or financial resources available, shareboarding can offer the same joy of horse ownership without the commitment, obligation, or expense of full ownership.
Horse leasing is appropriate for all ages, abilities, and skill levels, and can be combined with our lesson program. The 3-day a week schedule allows the rider access to the horse, the facility and all equipment needed on their selected days at a rate of $250/month. This does not include lessons. Packages can be customized to include lessons and fewer or more ride days. Please contact us for more details.
