| 1379.1 | Based on the few I've seen... | CARTUN::MISTOVICH | | Thu Oct 18 1990 13:21 | 14 |
| Simple boarding agreements that I have seen are 2-3 pages long and
specify board amount(s), due date, hold harmless/waivers and general
care to be received, the amount of notice due, etc.
I have seen boarding contracts up to 6 pages long, with clauses such as
(and this is paraphrased) "if you sell your horse while boarded at XXX
Stable, XXX Stable is entitled to 20% of sale price." One of my
favorites (and a place I looked at last weekend) had a hold harmless
"for injury, illness or death due to owner's and workers negligence."
It also had a hold harmless in case of fire...pretty standard, except
the owner was walking around inside the barn with a cigarette hanging
out of her mouth!

| The few I've seen were similar to what was described in .1, except
that they also included a list of barn rules for all boarders to
abide by. Myself personally, I would be leary of a barn that did
not require protective headgear for anyone mounted, and I would
not sign anything that did not include specifics about who and
who was not allowed to handle my horse. I've seen so many barns
that use boarders horses in lessons, and I know this is a common
arrangement that helps the boarded with costs, but in my own
particular instance no one but no one rides my horse without
my being present and I'd want it in a contract, just in case.

| 1379.3 | What type of coverage for a boarding farm? | STNDUP::LMCCROSSAN | Time out for a hot fudge sundae | Thu Oct 18 1990 13:51 | 9 |
|
Also, what type of insurance do boarding stables need to have vs.
should have? I boarded at one place (many years ago) which I didn't
realize was completely uninsured for anything. I didn't know that
until long after I moved out, but it made me wonder what would
have happened of there had been a fire or something terrible like
that...

| re: .2
Speaking of rules, I've started making it a point to ask if they have
rules and what they are. Sometimes the owners get a little defensive,
until they realise that I'm relieved that they do have rules! Given a
choice, I'll take a degree of regiment over the chaos that I've
sometimes had to survive any day!!!

| 1379.5 | just thought I'd ask... | CSCMA::SMITH | | Thu Oct 18 1990 15:38 | 6 |
| Just curious, but why would a boarding place feel that they should
be entitled to a percentage of your profit if you decided to sell
your horse? If they sold it for you, of course they would be, but
if you just sold it without their assistance?
This really sounds a bit greedy!

Because, they figure that by letting you use their facilities (ring, jumps,
etc.), they ARE helping you sell your horse. Also, who's liable if your
customer should get hurt while riding your horse on their property? Not that I
condone the practice (I don't), but I believe this is their reasoning, or at
least part of it.

| 1379.7 | Any good books on doing this? | PHAROS::FANTOZZI | | Tue Jan 05 1993 15:01 | 10 |

Are there any books out there that deal with boarding? If I got a
house with a barn and wanted to rent a stall or two, is there anything
out there that is published that would help me to ddo that?
Thanks,
Mary
