Does anyone know what the normal amount people get for leasing a horse out and how they arrive at the amount they are asking for the lease?

It varies from barn to barn. But, I have some lease horses at my barn and thier fee is the board rate. That can be a single lease or a shared lease, tack included if so desired. All health and maint expenses are paid by me.
I would be interested to see what others barns may offer.

The horse I was looking at is privately owned so I would have to find a place to board, pay its expenses, and have it insured. I just didn't know what the going rate was. Someone told me it can be based on the horses experience or value?
People can put a price on anything....but, IME many privately owned horses are "free leased" but there is always an expense for care, (board/feed/vet,insur,etc.).The horse I was looking at is privately owned so I would have to find a place to board, pay its expenses, and have it insured.

This could be very different with current show horses, Im sure that some have a rental fee for the show season.
some barns are lucky to get anyone to free lease the junk they have to help pay the bills. It is amazing to see what some people will put there kids on because the trainer claims it is safe.

I thought about leasing a horse before i bought one, but if im basically going to be paying bored for a horse that still isnt mine + vet bills and all that, i figuared i mine as well go ahead and pay the extra 1000$ (what we paid for my horse) that way if i got emotionally attached to the horse, no one could just take it away (that was my biggest fear) and i could do what i wanted with it and not have to worry about "what the owner thinks" cause hes mine.
But i think if you have like a lease or something wehre you pay like so much money to come out and ride it a few times a week but are free of the rest of the major stuff, its a good way to see if you are ready to buy a horse or if you cant be commited to own a horse, like if you have a demanding job or other school activities, its a nice thing because then you wont have to worry about selling the horse or anything if it becomes to much.
