One half-lease position is currently available. You may lease all three riding days yourself or share the half-lease with another rider. If you choose to share the lease, each rider will be responsible for one-half of the monthly lease fee and one-half of all shared lease expenses (Vet Fees, Farrier, and Supplements) as outlined in the lease agreement. Both riders must meet the riding requirements outlined below.

*Lease fee is per month. Minimum initial commitment of 3 months.*

Are you looking for a horse that enjoys having a purpose, wants to work with his rider, and is fun to continue developing? Fire is an 8-year-old Mustang gelding available for a half lease (3 days/week).

Fire is a kind, willing, well-started horse who genuinely tries for his rider. He has been handled and developed on the ground since he was a yearling and started under saddle at approximately 4.5 years old. He continues to gain experience through consistent riding, trail riding, arena work, and horse shows. He is being offered for lease to provide him with additional consistent riding while allowing another rider the opportunity to enjoy and gain experience through riding/handling him. He has a kind, willing temperament and continues to make steady progress through correct, consistent riding, handling, and thoughtful exposure to new experiences.

ABOUT FIRE

• Gentle, willing, and respectful

• Soft and responsive under saddle

• Easy to catch, handle, groom, and tack up • Stands quietly while tied

• Loads and trailers well

• Has never offered to rear or kick

• Has never offered to buck outside of a specific training-related incident several years ago

• Approximately 14.3 hands

• Trained using Clinton Anderson's Downunder Horsemanship method

• Genuinely wants to work with his rider and makes an honest effort, even when he isn't entirely sure of the answer • Patient and forgiving of honest rider mistakes while appreciating clear, consistent communication • A kind, honest horse that looks to his rider for guidance and genuinely wants to do the right thing

Fire isn't looking for someone to finish his training—he's looking for someone to continue building on the solid foundation he already has. He enjoys having a purpose and thrives with a rider who is consistent, fair, and enjoys developing a partnership.

EXPERIENCE

Fire has been exposed to:

• Trail riding

• Multiple riding facilities, including both boarding and show environments

• Large and small dogs

• Children running, playing, and making noise

• A variety of new environments and situations

Fire can occasionally be watchy in unfamiliar situations, but he is generally willing, sensible, and quick to regain focus with clear, confident direction. He looks to his rider for guidance and gains confidence when his rider provides consistent leadership.

IDEAL RIDER

Fire is best suited for a confident rider with a secure, independent seat and a solid foundation in horsemanship. While generally willing and sensible, he looks to his rider for guidance in new or uncertain situations and does best with someone who can provide clear, consistent direction.

The ideal rider will:

• Ride confidently and independently

• Have a secure seat and good basic horsemanship skills

• Remain calm and effective in unfamiliar environments

• Enjoy building a partnership through consistency and good horsemanship

• Appreciate a horse that is willing, responsive, and continues to gain experience

LEASE DETAILS

• Flexible scheduling coordinated between approved rider(s) and Owner

• Includes two complimentary one-hour lessons each month (one required, one optional)

• Option to attend local shows

• Off-site trail riding permitted using my trailer (minimum 72-hour notice required)

• Multiple test rides available before commitment

• Full lease contract available for review before signing • Access to trails from the boarding facility for trail riding; a short ride will lead you directly to the trailhead • Use your own tack or mine (proper fit will be confirmed before riding)

TRAINING EXPECTATIONS

Fire is not being offered as a training project. The lessee will be expected to maintain his current foundation, follow established handling and riding expectations, and communicate openly regarding any concerns or questions.

This would be an excellent opportunity for someone seeking regular saddle time with a kind, honest horse who enjoys working with his rider and continues to build experience.

Please message me if you're interested! I'd be happy to provide additional photos, videos, and a copy of the lease agreement upon request. I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability.
