Re: [RC] boarding agreements - Sky RanchWouldn't it be better to educate this nice man? Even if you do somehow get a 'binding agreement' that he's responsible (I find that unlikely) is it worth crippling your horse or having to put your horse down due to a horrible injury?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out well because it is 5 minutes from my house instead of 1/2 hour over narrow, twisty roads. The fuel savings will be huge! The downside is that it is owned and run by a man who knows essentially nothing about horses. He just has the land and has fenced it. He is very willing to learn and is a nice guy so that's good. But he is so unaware that he sees nothing wrong with leaving his saws and wood cart and other implements lying on the ground in the pasture with the horses. What I'm wondering is if there is a way I can insert wording into the boarding agreement that would hold him responsible for injury to a horse caused by his negligence. All the agreement forms I've found absolve the facility owner of all responsibility. I can understand this when they are knowledgeable horse people but I'm afraid this guy is going to do something, in innocence, that will cause a horse to get injured and I'd like to be able to protect myself financially, since, as I keep telling him, it's me, not him that will be paying the vet bills!
