The only thing different I would do normally.. is I require the Leasee to 
purchase the insurance on the mare. Especially if I am not charging an actual 
leasing "fee" . I do think I mentioned that in my last post. If we do charge 
a fee it is generally 1/3 the value of the horse being leased.  I prefer to 
do it the way Lisa and I have been.

 Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions, experience with leasing or having
 leased out a mare.  Cost, medical, potential hazards, foaling out, etc,
 etc need all the why to's, why for's, why not's

I could jump in here, and so could Louanna !   I leased 
her beautiful mare Johanna, a Gjest daughter, in return for riding practice 
and mostly driving training. We taught her to drive, and showed her at 
Turlock in '98, with Jeff taking 3rd in Gentalman to drive. 

   While she really did well at home, and especially with another single 
horse along, Johanna loves to ride more that drive I believe. She also 
produced a wonderful stud colt, Valjo, for us, out of Margaret Strackins, 
Valbjorn, by Slipner.  We bred her back for Louanna to our Stallion, Nels, by 
Anvils Steinfin. Unfort. even though she checked in bred 3 times, the vets 
proclaimed her pregnancy " soft ". and she did not produce a foal when she 
was due.   Shes back for the winter, bred back to Nels ( took first time ! ) 
and it appears after 2 ultrasounds to be a viable pregnancy. She will live a 
life of luxury here in a private box stall / paddock combo, and be bred back 
for Louanna when she returns home.  Louanna pays for insurance on her, and we 
pick up all other expenses. Shes on Regumate, per the vets suggestion, since 
last year she slipped one, and so far, so good.  

  I think Louanna would attest to a lease on this mare being a good thing. 
Shes cutting back on horses, and I would love something as nice as this mare 
produced for us last time, so. I would do it again, in a heartbeat.  I 
know that others have heard horror stories about leasing deals, but from this 
end, it has been a good venture.  It does help to be friends first.but no 
worries here.   Lou ?
