Like Duchess said... there are a lot of people who benefit from leasing... The people who want to lease may do it because they either don't want to commit to ownership or can't afford the purchase price of a valuable show horse that is just an 'extra' for the owner at the moment.
This stable gets the best of both worlds, they get to lease out the use of the horse, without losing tabs on their care, because they stay right there.
Switch your browser to Firefox and that problem will go away.
I can see the advantages now that AAM posted. It just seemed a stange e mail last night though.
Strange to get out of the blue, yeah! It's not a ranch you've talked to before?
Thanks. I hate to admit it but I don't know a whole lot about computers. My husband going to help me get it set up whenever he "has time"
AAM: Cindy pinged you the other day to a discussion we were having on liability insurance for riding groups. I didn't see any response, but I have a question too along those lines that you may be able to answer.
I "think" if someone is at your house and you let them ride one of your horses, and they get hurt, wouldn't your Homeowners Ins. cover you? and 2) would your homeowners Ins. cover you in say my situation where I have an occasional "student" who pays for a lesson? or is this considered a business so wouldn't be covered? and 3) what about someone who brings their own horse to use my arena for no charge? for a charge, (I dont do that, just curious).?
IOW, I don't have an "offical" business teaching, but I do get occasional people who want lessons, people who are friends of friends who I don't know, and I charge.
The liability end is what has kept me from prusuing giveing lessons in a more aggressive way.

It's really easy. Just click on the 'Free Download' button in the upper right side of the web page and it's only a step or two away from there. It even imports your bookmarks from your existing browser, probably Explorer. Then you can get rid of Explorer.
If this doubles, sorry. I don't know what happened to the first one. Yeah the same adopt the horse place. It just seemed strange to me . It was like "if I pay board and all expenses for your horse you will let me come ride him on your place? Uh, no thanks"
It wouldn't appeal to everyone, and the wrinkle with it being right there at their place is the stable might have the temptation to get overly involved in the lessee's decisions. The temptation to do that would be HUGE.
As lessees, those people should have the right to decide to take the horses on trail rides, to shows, decide on tack and type of riding to do, and all the other day to day decisions about the horse.
I leased my stallion from the owner. They only wanted to keep a little tab on his welfare. I boarded him where I wished, could show him, breed him, even geld him if I chose. I paid all expenses, they got invitations to come see him show if they wanted. They wanted the ability to check on his welfare only.
I've thought of leasing my pony - either as a prelude to check her out for an eventual sale, or to a kid that couldn't afford a horse but had experience and would like her as a project. I'd do whatever was needed to trailer her around or help her out, and would want to keep her here. I'd have to lease to someone who who wanted me to be involved. I'd likely pay all the expenses too though ;~D
Ok I have it down loaded. I came back to FR under Mozilla. Can I just not use microsoft explorer or do I have to delete it? I usually open thru Yahoo. Also Mozilla is in my..., shoot I don't know what to call it, it's where you hit the line and it's there but you have to open it back up. Do I close that or leave it?
It's chilly here. I'm glad my horses aren't like my dog. She wants in my bed under the covers during storms:')
Do not delete IE....just leave it on there, if you are using the other for your browser.
It's working , so far... No hits, Thanks Cowboy
Trying to keep this on my comment page:)

I've been using Firefox for a while and it's solid.
The only problem I have seen so for is that I knocked Aol out but I can live with until my husband can reprogram it. Firefox doesn't seem to be able to get me past a sprint ad and when I go thru explorer I'm not registered anymore.
I don't use AOL. Never have.
How's your weather? It's supposed to turn cold up home this weekend but I'll still be down here in the land of the ubiquitous geezer.
It's chilly here. We were supposed to go to N Texas this weekend but the owner of our company came in and changed our plans. Probably best because I heard it was supposed to get bad up that way in a few days.
I missed the last part of your post. You are still in Florida?
