Things To Do During A Lease?

If he has cushings that’s a whole different story.

Hand grazing is a great way to bond with a horse and to reward the horse for carting you around I don’t think horses appreciate being braided to the same extent they appreciate being grazed. I consider it a little bit of payback to take my horses for a nice hand graze after I’ve ridden them.

If he has a metabolic condition and can’t have any grass, that may not work. You should ask the owner first.

He can have some grass, i usually just give him a piece of carrot or a peppermint after a ride.

I found this funny because the pony I’m leasing was only bought by my trainer a few months ago, but she has 5 horses that are so good at tricks, they go to trick shows and win just because there was nothing better to do that weekend. All 5 know all of your favorites already I believe. Lol, I should though, that’s a good idea and my trainer would be more than happy for me to do it(we have had lessons in the past where we just work on trick training the entire time). My trainer’s favorite thing is dressage, but she does tricks and that sort of thing on the side for fun. She bought a horse years ago as a filly and trained her to ride completely tackless, but she ended up being too short for whatever my trainer was planning to do, so she was converted into a hunter/jumper lesson horse. She sure does make for one interesting lesson horse :lol:

lol. Or… you could teach your lease horse liberty!
hope you have lots of fun!!
