Tier 3

Full Lease or Purchase

​The next step for students wanting an exclusive, customized experience is to lease or own their own horse. If the horse that best suits that rider’s particular goals is not available at Boxwood, Boxwood will find a list of suitable horses for the client to try. Typically, we will go try horses at other barns and decide which one best fits our requirements. The Lessee/Buyer is responsible for the cost of a veterinarian exam before the lease/sale to make sure the horse is physically suitable for the desired job.

​

  • Pre-Purchase/Lease Exam: Approximately $1,000

  • Sale Price or Lease Fee: Dependent on experience, quality, and job requirements of the horse

    • Paid upfront to owner plus a 15% commission to Boxwood Equestrian

  • Under this tier, you have exclusive use of the horse

  • Full Care Board and Training: $1,650 per month

    • Up to five lessons and pro rides per week, plus grooming, tacking, and untacking services. Visit the Board & Training page for more information.
