What our Forms Cover
Equine boarding forms typically encompass a range of coverage to ensure comprehensive protection for both the facility and the horse owners. These forms commonly include provisions for general liability, safeguarding against any accidents or injuries that might occur on the premises. Additionally, they often address property damage, covering instances where equipment or facilities are damaged due to unforeseen circumstances. Veterinary care coverage is also crucial, outlining responsibilities and procedures in the event of illness or injury to the boarded horses. Furthermore, equine boarding forms might include provisions for theft or loss of horses, offering assurance to owners regarding the safety and security of their animals. Finally, they might incorporate clauses regarding waivers and releases, delineating the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved in the boarding agreement. By encompassing these various aspects of coverage, equine boarding forms aim to provide comprehensive protection and clarity for all parties involved in the boarding arrangement.
