“I was
totally surprised when I looked at my watch as I crossed the fi n- ish line,” Tracey stated, explaining that she felt Zara get a bit tired due to jumping from the deep mud so she stopped checking her watch while on course and just rode at the speed at which Zara felt comfort- able. “T e fi eld we train in at home has similar footing, though, at times, so I think Zara wasn’t too concerned with the footing on course,” she added.

He al- ways jumps up in the placings but I want him to get a good start from the beginning next season,” she added.

You love your horse, but you just can’t ride enough to justify the expense? Selling isn’t the only option, consider part or half leasing!
Full Boarding rates start at $610 and half leasers are paying $375 directly to you. Leasers cover lesson requirements so your horse is always in supervised training.
We have a big group of students who want to part /half lease a horse... and not enough to go around! Consider that a leaser shares your horses expenses, helps keep them exercised and in a program that continues to improve their training, and you can keep riding 3-4 days a week!
See our web site for more information about Leasing/part leasing.
At Bascule, we don’t charge for this “Matchmaking” service for horses who reside on the premises.
