All but four states – California, Maryland, Nevada and New York – now have horse liability laws. These laws protect a horse facility and its employees in general from liability for injuries sustained during the normal handling of horses. Most state laws require a barn pole sign that informs a horse participant that he or she is taking on the risk of injury by participating in horse activities. Start with information that identifies the parties to the rental agreement, the installation of horses, and the duration of the rental agreement. Please indicate a deposit and monthly rent as well as penalties for late or refused payments. Insurance is a key element of a complete rental agreement for equestrian facilities. The contract should define the assurance that each party must maintain. The contract should indicate the incidental costs available in the barn and who must pay the bills. Since dogs and horses can be an ephemeral combination, it is advisable to indicate which breeds of dogs are allowed on the site, if any. Other points to consider are changes in installation, slurry management and panels. Since the owner of the property is the lessor, he will probably prepare the contract on more favorable terms for him.
A tenant should check the contract offered by the landlord and negotiate as many protections as possible. An example of a tenant`s protection clause would be a clause that would determine what will happen if the landlord cannot deliver the equestrian facility on the promised date, or what will happen if the facility is damaged or destroyed by fire or natural disaster. The contract should include the insurance that the barn owner has towards the horses, glue and possible liability to third parties. These sample forms are provided with the kind permission of the Bay Area Equestrian Network as a structure to follow when writing your own documents for the use of horse ownership and boarding issues. Due to the diversity of many local, urban, departmental, national and national laws, stableWise and BAEN recommend professional legal advice before entering into a contract or agreement. A full lease for a horse facility is a legally binding contract that provides protection and insurance to the stable owner and tenant and useful if a horse owner or trainer wishes to rent an entire horse facility.
