We are at times searching for new horses and ponies to join our HoH team. We offer a Free Lease for your horse.
Free Lease
In a Free Lease, HoH is responsible for all routine care costs. Owners are financially responsible only for non-routine care and will receive regular updates and take the horse back if he or she needs to be retired or develops any behavioral or soundness issues that would result in having to leave the program.
