I am looking to lease a horse within the ACT or surrounds, or regularly exercise on behalf of the owner, but not sure where to find information about this, having just moved to Canberra a few months ago.
Any advice?
There is nothing suitable at the time of writing on Allclassifieds or similar websites.
I am a confident rider, but not looking to compete – just hacking around the trails and maybe receiving some instruction in the near future.

Horse for lease or to exercise in Canberra?

City Slickers, I think we could organise a Riot ACT kangaroo drive to the killing pits.
Horses please.
try contacting a horse riding school/agistment place – eg Canberra Equestrian Centre, Forest park etc – there are plenty in the yellow pages.

Hello, some not so helpful comments but quite funny.
Maybe you could try and place a notice at the local agisments around town. (Or ring them and see what they suggest)
I have a little place close to Canberra,it’s on a slight hill,small white building(suited to animals),with a great view of Anzac Parade,just across a semi private lake.Drop in and see my.
PS; I am only there for 23 day’s a year.So the rest of the time it’s your’s.
The best way I know of is going to the trouble of going round the equestrian centres and saddleries and putting up a flyer.
Why would you lease one when they’re so cheap to buy?
Leasing is fraught with legalities. e.g. what happens / who pays if the horse bolts and breaks a leg? or gets sick? or… (touch-wood that none of it happens) Unless your next of kin is a solicitor (in which case you’d hardly consider leasing in the first place) l wouldn’t go near leasing.
I’d suggest asking at http://www.bushcapital.org.au/forum/
It’s a local horse forum, and I’d say you’ll get a better response from there. Good luck!
