 Horse sale agreement: seller's version
This horse sale agreement ensures that the transaction is carried out favourably for the seller. Use of an agreement is likely to present you as a professional and trustworthy seller. If anything does go wrong once the horse is sold, having used an agreement, you are more likely to receive a friendly phone call and the chance to talk through the problem, rather than an immediate summons to court. Many buyers are likely to be nervous about the condition of a horse for sale. One way of reassuring a potential buyer that a horse is sound is to present a sale agreement in which you warrant (promise) that the horse is fit and doesn't have certain vices.   More Info
 SC-AGeq02
 Horse training agreement
Whether you train horses professionally or are just helping a friend with breaking or bringing an animal on, this horse training agreement will help prevent disputes. This document protects the interests of the trainer first, but is fair to clients. The agreement also covers many aspects of what is included in your deal. If both sides know exactly what are the expectations and requirements of the other, the arrangement will be a success. Using this agreement should help prevent disputes arising as a result of mismatched or unreasonable expectations as to the service offered.   More Info
 SC-AGeq03
 Option agreement: to buy a horse or pony

 SC-AGeq09
 Horse share agreement: competing
This document is suitable for sharing arrangements where the horse will be ridden by a professional, but most likely majority owned by a financial backer who is unlikely to ride. This document records the arrangement and the obligations of each owner to the other and to the care of the horse.   More Info
 SC-AGeq10
 Horse share agreement: recreational riding
This horse sharing agreement records how joint ownership of a horse or pony is divided. Not only does it record ownership shares, but also how responsibility for looking after the horse is divided. Horse sharing is a fantastic way of reducing the costs of ownership: both financial and time. However, many informal arrangements turn sour because of disagreements about responsibilities for care, access and use, and who contributed what.   More Info
 SC-AGeq11
 Livery agreement: DIY
This is a comprehensive livery agreement for yard owners providing "do-it-yourself" (DIY) livery services to horse owners, where the yard owner provides a loose box, and basic facilities, but the horse owner feeds, exercises and generally cares for the horse. The agreement sets out your reduced responsibility for the horse or pony while it is on your property, details and prices of services (including additional services the owner may choose to buy from you), and of course details of the horse or pony.   More Info
 SC-AGeq12
 Stallion service agreement
This stallion service agreement sets out the terms of a breeding arrangement. Suitable for the owner of any pony, sport horse or special breed horse. This agreement is suitable for arrangements where the mare is liveried with the stallion for live service, or where the mare is artificially inseminated on the stallion owner's premises. Although drawn primarily to protect a stallion owner, this agreement sets out matters important to the mare owner as well. It is likely to be acceptable to both parties without much editing.   More Info
 SC-AGeq13
 Horse sale agreement: high value transaction
This horse sale agreement protects the buyer from unforeseen problems with a newly bought horse. This agreement won't prevent those problems, but it will ensure you can seek compensation. If there is a lot of stake (financial or otherwise), a comprehensive agreement like this one is a must. This agreement protects both parties, but more so the buyer, who is in the weaker position without it. It has been written for transactions where the consequences of buying an unsuitable horse are expensive and the buyer wants a comprehensive agreement to provide him with the greatest amount of protection.   More Info
 SC-AGeq14
 Horse sale agreement: buyer's version
This horse sale agreement provides you with protection from unforeseen problems when buying a horse . It is very hard to ascertain whether a horse has any problems or vices at a viewing, even when a vet has assessed the horse's medical condition. The only way of protecting your interests as a buyer is to use a sale agreement in which the seller warrants (makes promises regarding) the condition of the horse. If subsequently it turns out that a warranty (for example, that the horse does not spook at traffic) is false, the seller breaches the agreement, and the buyer can seek damages. Using this document could not only save you thousands of pounds but also much anguish over dealing with a horse that you cannot ride.   More Info
