In this follow-up to our first episode on Leasing a Horse, Angie digs into what really matters once you’ve decided to lease - the agreement itself. Because when it comes to horse leasing, the details can make or break your experience.

Angie covers:

• What’s typically included in a lease (board, vet, farrier, feed, lessons, insurance)

• What you’re allowed to do, like showing, hauling, and off-property rides

• How lease pricing is structured and what’s negotiable

• The clauses to consider before signing on the dotted line (purchase price, substitution, media use, notice period)

If you’re about to sign or start negotiating a lease, this episode will help you spot the red flags and protect your wallet and your sanity.

In this episode, Angie sits down with Jennifer Connor, co-founder of Riders Rent, to decode the often-confusing world of show apparel.

Whether you’re a first-time horse show mom staring down breeches, jodhpurs, and tall boots, or a seasoned rider wondering what’s tradition vs. what’s truly required, this episode will help you breathe easier.

Together, Angie and Jennifer cover:

• Breeches vs. jodhpurs - who wears what and why
• When kids transition from paddock boots to tall boots
• The role of jackets in hunters, jumpers, and equitation
• The truth about shirts, ties, belts, gloves, and bows
• Where most moms overspend too soon on apparel
• Borrowing, renting, and consignment hacks to save money
• Why Riders Rent is changing the game for Broke Horse Moms

Along the way, Angie shares her own horse mom missteps (hello, bows that never saw the ring), while Jennifer brings her deep equestrian experience and her practical advice for moms who want their kids to look the part without emptying the wallet.

What does it really mean to lease a horse and why do so many people recommend it?

In this episode of Broke Horse Moms, Angie kicks off our Barn Basics series with a crash course in horse leasing: the what, the why, and the different ways families approach this “horse renting” option before diving into ownership.

Angie covers:

• What a lease actually is (and why non-horse people look at you funny when you say you’re doing it)
• When it makes sense to lease instead of just taking lessons OR instead of buying outright
• The key differences between care leases and paid leases
• Onsite vs. offsite leases and how location affects flexibility and responsibility
• The pros and cons of full vs. partial leases, including how schedules and show plans come into play

Whether you’re weighing your first lease, debating whether it’s worth it, or just trying to understand barn lingo, this episode will leave you feeling more prepared (and less confused) when the topic comes up at your barn.
