Organize the operational topics to discuss with state-qualified counsel and your insurer. This does not create or review a contract.
0 of 10 topics marked for discussion
Parties, horses, and authorized contacts Identify owners, agents, each horse, and who may approve care or charges. Services and exclusions Define feeding, turnout, blanketing, medications, training access, holding, transport, and what is not included. Rates, deposits, due dates, and changes State payment timing, late charges where lawful, rate-change notice, and returned-payment handling. Veterinary and farrier authority Address emergencies, contact attempts, spending limits, provider access, and reimbursement. Health, vaccination, quarantine, and biosecurity Match actual barn rules and veterinary guidance; define required records and isolation steps. Risk allocation and insurance Coordinate state-specific equine law, releases, indemnity language, and required insurance with counsel and insurers. Damage, injury, escape, and incident records Set notice, documentation, cooperation, and emergency-response expectations. Default, liens, termination, and abandoned property Use state-qualified advice; lien and disposition rules vary materially. Barn rules and incorporated documents Version and attach rules instead of relying on an unwritten or changeable list. Signatures, minors, electronic records, and governing law Confirm execution, authority, retention, notice, and state-law requirements. Equine-activity statutes, agister or stablekeeper liens, releases, consumer rules, employment law, and enforceability vary by state and facts. Do not copy generic clauses without state-specific legal and insurance review.
