Your Stable Name agrees that
(1) It will provide horse(s) with a stall and run, and will feed (grain & hay), water, and care for each horse in a good and responsible manner. Hay, grain, feed supplements and medications are to be provided by the Horse Owner. In the event the Horse Owner fails to provide adequate feed for the horse(s) in the care of Your Stable, Your Stable will provide necessary feed at the cost to Your Stable plus 25%. It is imperative that the Horse Owner keeps hay and grain stocked at Your Stable. Continuous failure to do so will result in termination of this Board Agreement. The Horse Owner will be warned 2x, once verbally and once in writing, before termination of this agreement for lack of feed provision takes place.
(2) It will provide a space for tack and equipment and a lighted arena with suitable footing for year-round indoor riding. A Horse Owner's trailer may also be parked in designated areas. Your Stable assumes no liability for tack, equipment, and horse trailers stored on the premises.
(3) Horse Owners will provide de-wormers to their own horses on Your Stable. Additional nutritional supplements and medications may be administered to horses when Horse Owners provide them.
(4) The boarding fee will not be raised without 30 days written notice.

The Horse Owner agrees that
(1) Boarding fee of  $____________ per month per horse, for a total of $_______________, which will be due on the first of each month. Checks should be made payable to "Pam Hunter", "Everette Hunter", or "Your Stable Name." In the event of non-payment and after written notification to the Horse Owner, Your Stable shall be entitled to a general lien against the boarded horse(s) for the boarding fees and shall be entitled to enforce said lien according to the laws of the state of Washington State. Horse(s) may not leave the premises while such a lien is in effect.
(2) Current negative "Coggins" test results for Equine Infectious Anemia are required for each horse before the horse arrives at Your Stable.
(3) Horse Owner is responsible for hoof trimming and shoeing of own horse(s). If the horse's hooves become overgrown, Your Stable may trim the horse's feet to prevent injury to horse(s). A farrier may be called to perform trimming, or shoe removal at the horse owner's expense.
(4) Horse Owners, and/or any one else the Horse Owner allows to ride their horse(s), has a signed "Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk" on file with Your Stable.
(5) Horse Owners and their guests shall conduct themselves in a manner which respects the person and property of others, the safety of all persons and horses, and exercise good judgment in all activities undertaken at Your Stable.

Horse Owner and Your Stable Name mutually agree that
(1) Newly-arrived horse(s) shall be on probation for a period of 30 days in order to determine whether or not the horse(s) is/are compatible with the care arrangements at Your Stable. As soon as such a determination has been made, the Horse Owner will be notified. If the horse(s) is/are to be removed, Your Stable and Horse Owner will arrange for such action as soon as possible.
(2) In the event the horse(s) shall require the services of a veterinarian, Your Stable will immediately contact the Horse Owner. In the event the Horse Owner cannot be reached in an emergency, Your Stable is hereby authorized, as the agent for the Horse Owner, (a) to call the veterinarian of the Horse Owner's choice (see Emergency Care section below), and should that vet be unavailable, (b) to call any other licensed vet of Your Stable's choice. All fees charged by the responding vet shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Horse Owner, with no liability whatsoever on the part of Your Stable. If the Horse Owner wishes to set limits on the type of emergency care that can be administered, it is the Horse Owner's responsibility to inform Your Stable in writing of such wishes and limits in the Limitations section of Emergency Care (below).
(3) Your Stable and/or the Horse Owner, each has the right to cancel this agreement with 30 days written notice to the other party. In the event of such a cancellation, removal of horse(s) will be mutually arranged and agreed upon as soon as possible.
(4) This document and the "Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk" constitute the entire agreement between the undersigned parties and no oral representations or agreements supersede the terms specified in this written agreement.

In the event of an emergency, if the Horse Owner cannot be contacted, Your Stable is authorized to contact the following veterinarians selected by the Horse Owner:

First Choice ___________________________________________________________________
Second Choice _________________________________________________________________
Third Choice __________________________________________________________________

If none of the above listed veterinarians is available, Your Stable, acting as an agent of the Horse Owner, is authorized to contact an alternate veterinarian.

Limitations to Emergency Care
In the event of an emergency where I cannot be reached, I, the undersigned Horse Owner would like to impose the following guidelines (limits, if any, to type and cost of care and emergency procedures):
 

(1) Do everything possible to save the life of the horse, no matter what the cost or time involved.    Yes      No
      Comment:

(2) Do everything possible to administer aid to the horse, e.g., broken leg, but immediate loss of life not eminent.  Yes      No
      Comment:

(3) Leave the choice to the attending vet as to whether it is feasible to use drastic care measures or euthanize the horse. Please indicate if you wish a second opinion .  Yes      No
     Comment:

(4) Is there a dollar ($) limit that you do not wish to exceed in emergency care? e.g., the vet states that leg is broken and may be saved, or that the horse has colic and may be saved by surgery at Your Stable or hospital, but the initial cost will be $XXXX and continued care cost is unknown. Remember that even if there are complications during emergency care and costs exceed this amount, you are responsible as the Horse Owner.  Amount $_____________
    Comment:

(5) If the horse needs to be transported to a veterinary hospital, who do we contact to move the horse?

Your Stable Name, Your Address 1, Your City, State, Zip

I, the undersigned, wish to ride and handle horses. I understand that riding and handling horses involves accepting certain risks. Those risks include, but are not limited to, the risk of injury resulting from falling from a horse, being stepped on or kicked by a horse, from a horse running into fences, trees, or buildings, and injuries resulting from tripping or falling over obstacles in the riding areas. In addition, I understand that the injuries sustained from riding and handling horses could be serious or could even result in death.

Despite this and other risks, and fully understanding such risks, I wish to ride and handle horses. I hereby assume all the risks of riding and handling horses. I also hereby hold harmless the horse owner, if not my own horse, and the owners of Your Stable Name, and agree to defend them against any claims or actions resulting from my riding and handling horses, including all expenses and attorney fees. I hereby release Your Stable Name, owners Pamela Hunter and Everette Hunter, and other horse owners with animals stabled there from any and all liability, and I understand that this release shall be binding upon my estate and all my representatives.

I further acknowledge and understand that any horse activity, including, but not limited to, feeding, grooming, handling, even being in close proximity to horses, carries a certain amount of risk. I fully accept this risk for myself and any guests with me. I release Your Stable Name, its owners, and/or other horse owners with animals stabled there from any and all liability for any injury or death that may occur from such horse activities while on the premises and indemnify and hold Your Stable Name, its owners, and/or other horse owners with animals stabled there harmless against any such liabilities, such indemnification to include attorney fees.

I hereby certify to Your Stable Name, its owners, and other horse owners with animals stabled there that I am in good health and do not suffer from any physical limitation that could be aggravated by riding or handling horses.

This release applies to the owners of horses on the premises of Your Stable Name, to the owners of Your Stable Name, to owners of any equipment on the premises of Your Stable Name, and to any of their heirs, successors, and assignees.

I agree to ask the owners of Your Stable Name for clarification of any rule or safety procedures, for further instruction as regards anything that I do not understand about the equipment and the animals, or as regards anything else that may affect the safety of, or riding of, or handling of, horses on the premises. I also acknowledge that the owners of Your Stable Name strongly recommend the use of relevant equine safety gear, such as helmets, but do not specifically require its use. As such, I accept full responsibility for any and all injuries whether or not I choose to accept this recommendation.

I have fully read this Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk carefully and understand that by signing below I am agreeing, on behalf of myself, my estate, my heirs, representatives and assigns not to sue Your Stable Name, its owners Pamela M. Hunter and Everette C. Hunter, and/or horse owners with animals stabled there, or to hold him/her/them liable for any injury, including death, from riding horses. I understand the terms of this waiver of liability and assumption of risk, and I intend to be fully bound by this agreement.

Under Washington law, an equine professional is not liable for any injury to, or the death of, a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities.

By virtue of my signature, I acknowledge and agree to all terms and conditions set forth on this form and further acknowledge that I have carefully read this agreement and understand what I am signing.
