Through the Blinkbonnie On-Property Lease program we provide the chance to spend time with horses in addition to what can be achieved within a one hour Lesson format. On-Property leases are designed to suit people thinking of owning a horse who are too busy with family or career to manage full time horse care responsibilities.
This lease is suited to people who have at least an intermediate level of riding skills who wish to pursue Ecole de Legerete training without the need to purchase their own horse. In addition to regular riding and in-hand lessons On-Property Lease participants will be taught all aspects of horse care. Leases include tack and saddle hire.
This is suited to people who have previous horse experience but are no longer able to ride (due to injury or other circumstances). Learning and practicing Ecole de Legerete lunging and in-hand techniques you will find joy in your ability to bond with and enhance the physical and training outcomes for your lease horse. In addition to regular in-hand lessons On-Property Lease participants will be taught all aspects of horse care.
This lease is suited to people who want to spend relaxed time around horses and the lovely rural environment at Blinkbonnie, enhancing their physical and mental wellbeing while playing an important part in the care of the retired Blinkbonnie school horses. This type of lease can be suited to both experienced and in-experienced horse people. The only pre-requisite is a love of horses! On-Property Lease participants will be taught all aspects of horse care. With some horses there is the possibility to add groundwork and horsemanship lessons on a casual basis (cost is $90 per lesson).
Minimum Lease Period is 6 Months, with 1 monthly renewal thereafter
Agistment at Blinkbonnie is limited to a small number of horses and will only suit owners who do not require 24/7 access as Blinkbonnie is only open to Agistees during normal opening hours.
Part and Full care packages can be negotiated with both shared and private paddock options possible. Prices start at $84 per week.
