Does the owner have the right to sell a leased horse?

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:19:01 +0000

I am looking into leasing a horse at my local stable that I have fallen in love with. It would be a full lease, where I would pay for the board which includes the feed, farrier, and vet bills. I was just wondering if the owner of the horse has the right to sell the horse if I am currently leasing the horse? I don't want to fall even more in love with the horse only to lose him. Any ideas?

Choose the Right Colorado Horse Property

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:56:26 +0000

For someone not familiar with Colorado climate and water law, choosing the right Colorado horse property can be a daunting proposition. Many people from the Mid West and East Coast are used to dealing with Riparian Water Law, and unfamiliar with Colorado's Doctrine of Prior Appropriation. One of the implications of this doctrine is that even though a Colorado horse property may have water flowing through it or sitting on it, the owner of that Colorado horse property may have no rights to that water. In a nutshell, Prior Appropriation means that whoever first used the water, and laid claim to it in a Water Court, has first rights to use that water in perpetuity. So one of the first things to discover when looking for Colorado horse property is what water rights, if any, accompany the property. Fortunately, the Upper Arkansas Valley is blessed with an augmentation scheme whereby property owners can purchase extra water for livestock needs should circumstances necessitate this. This means that buying a Salida, Colorado horse property need not mean paying a huge premium for existing water rights. Owners of Salida, Colorado horse property are able to purchase the necessary shares of water from the local Water Conservancy district for their livestock and domestic need. Climate is yet another issue that can have a significant impact on where to choose Colorado horse property. Winter temperatures and conditions vary tremendously, often between one valley and the next. Some of the mildest winter temperatures can be found in Salida, Colorado. Horse property owners in Salida, Colorado, enjoy life in the locally acclaimed ‘Banana Belt', where a relatively mild winter climate is conducive to the keeping of horses and other livestock. Extended periods of harsh cold are relatively rare, while many sunny days make winter riding a regular event. So, when looking for Colorado horse property, consider Salida, Colorado. Horse property owners in Salida enjoy ample water, mild climate and a county where 85% of land is publicly owned, with literally hundreds of miles of trails at your door.

Horse Saddles For Sale-Information On Purchasing The Right Horse Saddle For You

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:09:35 +0000

Any saddle is among the key bits of horse riding apparel, so there are many things to take note while selecting horse saddles for sale. 1st, your riding style should be identified. Ordinarily, this can be either English or Western, even though there are also specialty saddles intended for activities like polo, dressage, jumping, as well as racing. In English riding, any rider keeps one reign within each hand and tells the horse to turn through gently pulling one reign, which applies pressure to a bit in the horse's mouth. Western- style riders have both reigns in one hand and tell the horse to turn by shifting their weight or laying the reigns against the horses neck. Western saddles tend to be larger and heavier than English saddles and were actually made for hard- riding cowboys. The riders weight is distributed evenly across the horses back, allowing the horse and rider to be comfortable on lengthy rides. Dressage saddles allow the riders leg and the horse to have the most contact. Your flaps are cut straight and narrow and these saddles have a different cut than a English saddle. For jumping, a hunt seat saddle is required. This saddle was originally produced for fox hunting, and it provides the rider the best position for jumping. Horse racing calls for a flat racing saddle. These are extremely lightweight and have really short stirrups subsequently the rider can lean forward as far as possible. No matter the activity, the following question is the type of saddle. You can find leather saddles, suede saddles, and saddles produced from man-made materials. Leather saddles are the best well known, and a high quality leather saddle will be able to last for years. Man-made saddles tend to be lightweight and easy to clean, but may not have the durability associated with a leather saddle. The most important factor for saddles is comfort, for both the rider and the horse. A saddle that doesn't fit properly may cause back muscle bruising on the horse. Saddle sizes are measured in inches, from the pommel to the cantle. There should be two to three inches of space between the rider and also the back of the saddle once seated. Additionally, the saddle ought to stay firmly in place without slipping and it should fit the horse tightly across the shoulders and back without digging in. There are many saddles out there, so it is important to remember your anticipated riding activities whenever choosing a horse saddle for sale.

Used Western Saddles: Finding the Right Saddle for the Right Price

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:20:51 +0000

Buying a used western saddle is often a great choice. Quality saddles maintain their value over time, so you can buy top brand previously owned saddle for the same price as you would a lower quality new one. Your dollar goes a lot farther in the used market and a good quality saddle fits both you and your horse better than something cheaply manufactured.

High quality leather western saddles are usually well cared for, so when they're sold they’re often in great shape. Sure, most used saddles will have a scuff here and there, but that adds to their character. It shows they’ve been put to the test and they’ve held up to the rigors of riding, unlike some of the poorly constructed new saddles out there.

During your search, take the opportunity to try as many different types, brands, and models of saddles as you can. This will help you narrow down the choice of what will suit you best. Of course, a saddle needs to fit the horse too, so keep that in mind.

So where should you start looking? Start anywhere there are horses. Horse owners and stables may be thinking of changing a saddle they have or making space by selling one they’re not using. You’d be amazed what you can find just by asking. If the place or person you visit doesn’t have a used saddle for sale, they may know someone who does.

Look first for used western saddles in places where you can see, touch, and inspect them. Look in tack shops or stores selling western tack. Just because a store sells new items doesn’t mean that they don’t have used tack. Plenty of people upgrade their western saddles and many tack shops will take a used saddle in as a trade in. Some tack stores also have used saddles for sale on consignment.

Local used tack sales can be a great source for used saddles. Keep an eye out for sale announcements by local horse groups and at horse shows and other events. Check the newspapers and the local classified publications.

The Internet is also a fantastic place to find a quality used western saddle. On the Internet you're not limited to just your local area which significantly opens up your potential choices. Online sales sites such as eBay, TackTrader. com, and Equine. com provide a wide selection in the used market. Many tack stores also have websites and list their used tack for sale online.

In the online world, a picture says a thousand words, reading the small print matters, and asking questions is a must. You usually won’t be able to inspect the saddle before you buy, so make sure you have detailed photos and find out as much as you can prior to buying. Some sellers will give you a try-out period so make sure to ask. Watch out for shipping costs as well – you could get a great bargain on a top-of-the-line saddle but pay a pretty penny to get it from there to here.

When trying to track down the perfect used saddle, take your time. Figure out what you need and don’t buy on impulse or because something is a bargain. Your main goal is to get a durable, solid quality western saddle that fits you and your horse the best. You’ll save money in the long run, and your horse will thank you for taking the time to pick the perfect saddle.
