Leasing Horses With Hemphill’s
If you are searching for the perfect horse or pony for lease, look no further than Hemphill’s Horses, Feed, & Saddlery for quality Maine horses.
Hemphill’s is more than your local go-to retailer for quality horses, we also offer a variety of beautiful, quality horses and ponies for lease that will be the perfect fit for you or your favorite rider.
Leasing horses can be a wonderful mutually beneficial arrangement for both the horse and the lessee. Leasing horses is quickly becoming popular for a variety of reasons. If you have a budding horse rider in the family, a lease horse provides a lesson horse that your rider can bond with and work with routinely, as opposed to changing lesson horses frequently. Our horses for lease enjoy the arrangements as well as they love to have a job and to have their own special people to shower them with love and affection.
Private Lease
Private leases must be approved by the business owner, in some cases, terms may be adjusted for different time frames. Reach out for 2024-2025 summer or winter private lease options and pricing. In order to be approved for a private lease, Hemphill’s will require references, including vet and farrier references, and information of the home away from home for the leased horse. Once approved, the lessee claims full responsibility for maintaining care for our horse or pony to the same quality as a horse or pony they own.

Our camp horses are available to approved homes only. See the four tiers of our winter lease program below:
