Off-farm full lease?

Just wondering what some may charge for an off-farm lease? I have someone currently interested in a horse, and was wondering what type of lease prices people usually set for off-farm arrangements. Not to mention, they are a about an hour north of where I'm located so I would not be willing to do a free lease option due to not being able to check in on the horse every so often (nor do I know them). What do you all think? I figure the general consesus will be not to do it, but was I'm just wondering what type of pricing you would charge.

usually 1/3 the purchase price per year

It depends on how well trained the horses are IMO. I have 3 gorgeous warmbloods that are "green". I am trying to free lease 2 of them to some advanced riders down here in FL because I don't have time to ride them all enough and it would help the pocketbook. The economy is not so good, so as long as I know the riders, the facility is decent, and they take out insurance then that is good enough for me. Any other circumstance and I wouldn't do it probably. Good luck.

A friend of mine found a nice facility and lesson barn and free leased with the agreement of insurance payed by the farm leasing. He has been there for 2 yrs now and everyone is happy.
