LEASE FEES ARE DUE INTO OUR OFFICE,
P.O. BOX 733, SALIDA, COLORADO 81201,
PRIOR TO THE SEASON YOU ARE HUNTING.

The busy days for delivery and pick-up will be before 1st season and of course, between seasons.  We will not guarantee delivery before 11:00am.  If you want your horses delivered before 11:00am, you should order them for the previous day.  These requests will be granted on a first come first serve basis.  It should be remembered that even the best delivery plans sometimes go bad due to adverse weather conditions or breakdowns in equipment.  If we are late with your delivery, please try to understand.

If you want to reserve horses, mail your signed contract with your deposit to the above address.  Your horses will not be reserved until your signed contract and deposit are in our office.  No reservations will be made by phone.  If for any reason you should cancel your reservation, your deposit will not be refunded.  Remember, the deposit is separate and added to the total amount due for leasing your hunting horses.

Unless payment is received in full prior to the season you are hunting, we will not be able to hold your horses.

Please note:  We have had a problem in the past with the horse losing weight while in the possession of hunters.  We will provide ALL feed and instructions for feeding the horses, lessors will pay all expenses for feed to the lessee.  There will no longer be an option for individual hunters to provide their own feed

Please note: Call ahead and reserve your weed free hay and get prices on hay pellets and grain.

Please direct any inquiries for horses to our office to avoid delays and/or mix-ups.
