How do I convince my parents to lease a horse?

I'm ready, I ride regularly, and I'm great with horses. I would like to lease a horse, but my parents said No. What should i do?How do I convince my parents to lease a horse?
Well for starters, how about trying the following:


#1 Cleaning your room and making sure that it STAYS clean and tidy.


#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.


#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.


#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.


#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters %26amp; brothers.


#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make ';yuck'; faces when given it.


#7 Don't talk rudly to adults


#8 Always share with other kids.


#9 Go to bed when you are told to.


#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.


# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.





If 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to your life and family. :)How do I convince my parents to lease a horse?
Are they saying no because they don't want the commitment,or is it a financial issue? Horses are an expensive proposition, and if your parents don't feel that they are financially capable to properly care for a horse, then saying no is the right thing to do. Not any easier for you, but it is right. Be patient, seek out opportunities to be involved with horses, and perhaps you could find a chance to ';share'; a horse with someone. Perhaps a person who has a horse and can only ride it a couple of times a month, yet would like to see it get more exercise. It could be a win-win situation.
Can you decide why the answer was no? Money, commitment, you already have lots of opportunity riding regularly, are all good reasons to not want the added responsibility of leasing.


Riding lessons are expensive but if you don't ride there is no money owed. Leasing on the other hand is an expense monthly with no added benefit except you feel like you can ride whenever you want.


Now does it seem to you that if you leased a horse you would be at the barn much more often? If you feel that you would be able to do more at the barn then you might buddy up with the barn manager or owner and try working off some of the debt to ride or maybe help with a horse that isn't given much attention. Show your parents that you are serious and will be at the barn to do whatever you can even if you only work. It will show responsibility and a true love of the horses.


But don't give up the dream, horses are great friends..EM
Unless money, time, and responsiblity check out it will never happen. NEVER lease a horse UNLESS you are extremely experienced and can ride on your own and you TRAIN on your own more than the cost to take lessons. i.e.-If you spend $200 a month in lessons, an arguement would be a $100 lease option is cheaper. Also, watch and see if you are responsible for vetting, farrier, etc.


Often times, you can also ask your stable to take on work in exchange for free riding time or lessons. It is like a lease but with no money. If you bond with a specific horse, ask to work with him/her.


Leases are often a rip off as they lease the same horse to several people. They get it only certain times of the week. So you will be restricted anyway


----Stick with lessons unless you have the money and responsiblity to own----
Why would you lease a horse. What is the point of that. Either buy a horse and keep it or just keep going where your going. You must live out in the city.
Accept their decision.
