Horse on a feed-lease - how are the costs split?

Most commonly, the person keeping the horse covers everything apart from insurance. That said, I have also had a horse on a feed-lease where the owner paid for everything. It comes down to what the two of you agree. One important point: a written agreement setting out what you have agreed is essential, and it is worth raising any possible situations in advance, such as what happens if the horse is injured and how you will both handle it. It is hard enough as it is when a horse hurts itself, so it really helps to have agreed beforehand what applies for both parties. ☀️
