Leasing a Horse with ATU
Schedule a “New Client Assessment” with us so we can meet you, see you ride, and best match you with a horse.
We will not lease to a person we have never seen ride.
Those interested in leasing are expected to be independent riders who are capable of riding and tacking up independently. Some special arrangements can be made for students who are independent riders but perhaps are unable to fully tack up/down (for example the rider is physically too short/young to get the saddle on the horse). This is taken on a case-by-case basis and may restrict when a rider can come in to ride.
Lease packages consist of both lessons and independent rides and all leases are ON-SITE. We do not offer offsite leases.
Pricing: Lease lessons = $60 per (1 per week required minimum)
Lease rides = $40 per (all packages with lease rides require a membership to the Tacoma Unit)
No Leases are offered with a no-lesson option. We want to make sure both horse and rider continue to mesh well and that the riding and training are helpful and productive to both parties, regardless of their end goals.
No high-impact training is allowed outside of a lesson setting (jumping, barrels, etc) without the permission of a trainer. Independent rides are primarily intended for relationship building and flatwork.
