Breaking-in/starting I schooling I selling on behalf I employing staff?
Because you're in business, you need to manage people's high expectations and limit your many risks.
From the outset, impress your horse-owners with a professional contract that shows the high degree of care you will take with their horse.
I strongly recommend paperwork that clearly asks the owner to reveal their horse's vital health and behavioural issues. This will not only help you work with the horse, it will limit your physical risk.
If you are selling horse's on behalf, get disclosure about all the horse's quirks so you avoid misrepresentation and ultimately exposing yourself to claims from the owner and/or from the purchaser.
Sign off on other problematic areas such as insurance, payment, interrupted training, and liability for injuries. It's all entirely manageable but it helps to have agreement from the start.
Every horse business is special and your contracts need to be tailored for you. The usual fee is around $950 + gst because it's not 'off-the-shelf'. The plus is you can use it over and over again. Even better, you get protection in that I can't act against you for any disgruntled customer because you have become my client when I create agreements for your business. Great value!
