Leasing a horse is like taking it for an extended test drive. Its always a good idea to try it out before making the plunge. If you need to be tactful tell him he should lease to make sure the horse is good enough, not to see if he is a good owner. Talk up all the problems horses can develop after purchase that he might not see on the initial test ride. Barn trials used to be incredibly popular for the purchasing of children's mounts. Afetr a test ride at the original barn they horse would be brought to the destination barn of the purchaser (or where they intended to board) for a couple weeks or a month to see if he still worked after settling in.
