Location: Kansas | When leasing a broodmare, what is the expected price range? Farrier, vet, feed, hay etc....would be paid all my me, but what would I be expected to pay per month?
Just weighing options if it's cheaper to just buy a mare lol! |

| When I enquired about an embryo transfer, it was 1800 to lease the mare, a portion of that money was returned depending on the condition of the mare when she is returned. |

Location: Kansas | Reason I ask....is because people are asking $500 a month for a lease when I provide all the care, and the mare is broodmare sound only |

Location: Around here somewhere... | If you're looking for a recip mare you should be able to find one easy and cheap/free. Post on Facebook for one, doesn't have to be a "broodmare" since she doesn't need to be registered to be a recip. |

Location: Desert Land | Wow!! I have leased several broodmares and it was like a feed lease deal, I was responsible for her well being only - no monthly fee. On one lease I did I had an option to buy or return the mare back. If I was to return the mare, I would have to make arrangements for her to be bred locally (owner was 12 hrs away) to the owner's stallion choice, but at owner's expense. |

I was kind of hoping for a lease deal like that, but all the people I spoke with that have mares I was interested in....wanted quite a bit. And the mares weren't even bred that nice. I'm just about to give up!!!!! |

| I've decided that in the horse world there are just some crazy people! Unless the mare is super spectacular (in which case they would probably be doing embryos anyways) I can't imagine charging a lot of money for a broodmare lease. I think most would be happy to have the mare cared for for a year considering the cost of feed, vet, etc. Another option would be to return the mare in foal to a reasonably priced, agreed upon stallion. That would probably cost in the $2,000 or under range after vet expenses, nothing close to $500 a month!
However, if people are really getting $500 per month on broodmare leases sign me up, that might be the best money I'd make on broodmares!
Edited to say - I think what was mentioned about having the mare bred back with the owner paying for the stud fee is a better idea than paying for it yourself.

I'm going to have to agree with you there!!! LMBO!!! I have a girlfriend who is thinking of buying a firewater flit daughter, and is willing to sell me embroys at a really really decent price, but all I wanted was a nice little cowbred mare to breed to this spring and people want outrageous amounts for leasing LMBO!!!! |

| I don't know of any cowbred broodmares off the top of my head, but if I think of any I'll pass along the info. I know they're out there! |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I don't understand what you are asking. Are you wanting a BROODMARE or a RECIP mare? If you are wanting to breed YOUR mare (which is what it says in one of your posts) you really shouldn't bother getting a recip mare yourself. Let the facility that is doing the E.T. worry about that. Chances are you will need more than one mare if you are doing an E.T. That is why recip mare herds are usually fairly large, to have the best chance that there is at least one mare at the same place in her cycle as the donor mare. |

| I lease mine out for feed/vet/farrier, etc. Of course, there are clauses in place that state if you damage the mare in any way while she is in your care you will pay the cost of ALL extended vet fees, up to and including euthanasia/disposal, and the cost of replacing the mare at $7500. Wow...maybe I should start charging $500 per month. |
