I've checked with my better half and her advice
is:
If you are sharing your horse with someone
specific, draw up a contract that defines who is responsible for what.
IF you are offering your horse to the barn/stable
owner/manager so that anyone can ride, you should draw up a contract about who
does what and when, but also realize that anyone and everyone can ride your
horse and you will have little say in the matter. You could be opening
yourself up for heartbreak.

Subject: [RC] part-board
Anyone have any comments, experience, etc. with part-board? I think this is
the right term for it....An owner allows her horse to be used for trail riding
(not competitive), but the horse remains at her barn and she feeds and cares
for the horse. Her regular boarding arrangements include feed
(hay), regular turnout all year round, and 24 hour turnout in the summer
on pasture. The boarders pay for shoes, worming, vet bills, special feed,
etc. So any ideas what should or should not be included in a part-board
arrangement? If the horse gets a stone bruise, who pays the vet? If the horse
loses a shoe in the middle of the shoeing schedule, who pays the
farrier? Any info. you can provide me with would be very helpful.
