Are you an equestrian hoping to lease a horse? Or a horse owner, looking to lease your horse? If so, this contract template was drafted specifically for you.
The Equine Lease Agreement covers both parties equally, so that both the lessee and the horse owner are equally protected. The purpose of this contract is to ensure that there are no misunderstandings between the parties, setting the stage for a successful leasing relationship.
This template is suitable for both short and long term lease agreements (to save you money, we have provided information for both scenarios, so that you don't have to find multiple documents). We have also automatically included vet check language, so that you can choose to proceed with or without a vet check, without having to purchase multiple templates!
Note: early bird pricing expires in the fall!
