Equine Forms Selection and Use Questions

What Equine Form Should I Use? 

Review our forms descriptions and Preview Our Equine Forms to determine which equine form is right for you.  Still not sure?  We want to make sure you use the correct equine agreement, so please ask us.

What If I Don’t See the Equine Form I Need? 

If you don’t see the horse contract you need in our selection of available equine forms, please ask us about developing a customized equine agreement to meet your individual needs.  Have a great idea for a new form?  Find out how to Get Free Equine Forms.

What Format Will the Equine Legal Forms Be In? 

When you purchase our equine legal forms, we will send you an email link to a downloadable PDF.  You will need Adobe Acrobat*, a free software program, installed on your computer to use our forms. To make sure you can take advantage of all features, especially the fillable, saveable features, update your Adobe Acrobat Reader software before downloading our equine forms.

Do You Have Copies of the Equine Agreements that I Can See Before I Purchase Them?  

No. We don't post copies of our equine legal forms on our website because that would make it easy for website visitors to simply copy the contracts from our website without purchasing them. Instead, we have a detailed Preview Our Equine Forms section which lists the various clauses contained in each equine agreement.

Can I Edit the Equine Legal Forms Myself?   

Each of our equine legal forms has been drafted to allow for some customization, with check-boxes and lines for customers to fill in information.  However, the actual text of the document cannot be altered – see License Agreement. At Equine Legal Solutions, we see firsthand the disastrous results of non-lawyers trying to create or edit their own equine contracts. 

What If I Need to Edit the Equine Legal Forms?

When designing our equine legal forms, we try very hard to include options that allow our customers to tailor the forms to their individual needs.  However, you may have a transaction or situation that is relatively unique, and therefore, our equine legal forms may not meet your needs exactly as written. For those customers, we are always happy to credit your equine forms purchase price toward a customized equine agreement.  See Our Equine Forms Guarantee for details.  Please note that our equine forms are copyrighted, which means that you cannot retype them and then make changes to them without our permission. 

I’m an Attorney – Can I Use These Forms for My Clients?

Although Equine Legal Solutions has a large number of attorneys among its customers, our License Agreement prohibits attorneys from using our equine legal forms except for their own personal transactions.  For example, it’s not permissible to purchase one of our equine agreements and use it as a template to create another document.  

Can I Post Your Equine Forms on My Website?

No.  Because posting our copyrighted equine legal agreements on an Internet website makes it easy for the general public to view and copy them, our License Agreement prohibits customers from posting our agreements, or any portion of them, on any Internet website.  For customers who want to allow their own clients easy access to the forms they have purchased, we recommend simply placing a button on your website where the client can email you and request a copy.

Why Aren’t Your Equine Legal Forms Offered in Microsoft Word*?   

At Equine Legal Solutions, we have observed that in situations where equine contracts are used, problems arise when non-lawyers edit the contracts themselves.  By delivering our equine forms in a PDF, we are trying to help ensure that you will seek professional assistance rather than edit the legal documents yourself.

Will Your Equine Legal Forms Work in My State?  

Our current equine legal forms are designed to work in all 50 states, which means that they are not customized to your state in particular.  If your state has an equine activity statute, for example, you would want to attach a sheet to our equine legal form containing any language that your state's statute might require (in addition to posting any signs that your state's statute requires).  Otherwise, you will be able to specify in our equine legal form that your state's law will apply to any disputes, and that any disputes must be litigated in your home county and state.

Can I Print Your Equine Legal Forms on My Letterhead? 

Yes, but we required that you contact us prior to printing so that we may approve the proposed use.

Can I Put My Equine Business Name in the Header?

Yes.  Our equine legal forms have a designated space at the top of each page where you can insert the name of your equine business.

How Can I Make Copies of Your Equine Forms?   

Many of our equine forms customers find that it is simplest to fill in the information that applies to every transaction (such as your name and address), and then make copies of the filled-in form for use as needed. 

How Many Times Can I Use the Equine Forms?

Once you have purchased an equine form, you may use it as many times as you like for your own personal and equine business use.  Our equine forms are copyrighted, however, and therefore you cannot provide them to others.  See our License Agreement for details.

Are Your Equine Forms Current?

We are continually updating our horse contracts and agreements and your equine forms purchase includes Free Equine Form Updates. 

Why Are Your Forms More Expensive than Other Equine Forms I Found on the Internet? 

Simply put, you get what you pay for.  Preview Our Equine Forms and you’ll see how comprehensive and thorough our equine forms are.

Why Aren’t Your Equine Forms Free?  

On the Equine Legal Solutions website, we offer a lot of free horse information, including our comprehensive Horse Buying Checklist and The Legal Equine, our free email newsletter, so why aren’t our equine legal forms free, too?  The simple answer is that offering free information is expensive – site design, web hosting, maintaining an email database and developing new content all take time, effort and money.  With your equine legal forms purchases, you help ensure the continuing availability of our free equine resources.

If I Buy an Equine Legal Form, Can I Share it With My Friends?  

No, unless your friends are your customers that will be signing the contract. All of our equine legal forms are copyrighted, and you cannot sell or otherwise distribute our equine legal forms except for your personal and business use.    See our License Agreement for details.

If I Buy an Equine Form, Can I Use It For More Than One Transaction? 

Yes.  For example, if you purchase the Simple Equine Sale Agreement, you can use that equine form for as many horse sales as you like.  See our License Agreement for details.

I Live Outside the U.S. – Can I Use These Equine Forms? 

Because we developed these equine legal forms specifically for U.S. residents, the forms may not be enforceable outside the U.S. or comply with other countries’ legal requirements.

What If I Need Help Using the Equine Forms I Purchased? 

All of our equine forms include comprehensive, step-by-step instructions to help ensure that you understand the agreements and fill them out completely and accurately.  If you need further assistance, please contact us and an equine attorney will answer your questions as promptly as possible at no charge.

How Many Pages Are These Equine Forms? 

Well-drafted, legally enforceable documents are rarely short, particularly when they concern a complicated transaction.  Because we strive to make our equine forms as complete and comprehensive as possible, and we offer a lot of options for customers to cover contingencies, our equine agreements are often a bit on the long side.  However, to help the average reader use and understand our equine forms, we avoid “legalese” and “boilerplate” clauses and try to write our legal forms in plain English.  We also use fairly large type, to make sure our equine forms are easy to read.

Do I Really Need All the Stuff in These Equine Forms?  

We have developed our equine legal forms as a result of years of practice in equine law.  We have seen firsthand what can go wrong in equine transactions, and we want to help you avoid those situations.  Every clause in these equine forms is included for a good reason.

What If I Buy Your Equine Forms and am Dissatisfied? 

We offer a money-back guarantee – see Our Forms Guarantee.

What If I Still Have a Question about Your Equine Forms? 

Please contact us and our qualified staff will answer your questions as promptly as possible at no charge.
