Legal Term
Equine Facility Agreement Review
Legal Definition
The specialized legal examination of a contract governing the boarding, care, and stabling of horses at a commercial facility. This review focuses on clauses allocating liability for injury or death of the horse, standards of care, fee structures, dispute resolution mechanisms, and compliance with state-specific Equine Activity Liability Acts.
In Plain English
A deep check of the paperwork you sign when leaving your horse at a boarding stable. A lawyer looks for hidden risks that could cost you money or your horse if something goes wrong, which a standard app might miss.
Example in a Contract
LIABILITY & RELEASE. Boarder acknowledges that equine activities involve inherent risks including, but not limited to, the propensity of horses to behave in dangerous ways. Boarder hereby releases and holds harmless Facility, its owners, and employees from any and all liability for any injury, loss, or damage to Boarder or Boarder's horse(s) arising from the ordinary negligence of Facility, except to the extent such injury, loss, or damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Facility. Boarder is solely responsible for all veterinary and farrier costs for their horse(s).
