Apha Lease Agreement

Elizabeth “Spike” Brewer – Personally, I think the rental program, when used correctly, is a huge advantage in encouraging exhibitors to give exhibitors a chance, possibly try to come back after a long break, or even allow access to a better quality horse that someone wouldn`t normally be able to afford. Well-written contracts can help avoid or minimize problems with horse rental agreements. Some rental issues for horses are explained below. A standard solution to any of the above problems is to rent a broodmare. For both parties, a lease can offer serious benefits to both the breeder and the owner of the mare. However, breeding in itself is a delicate undertaking. If you think leasing could be in your future, you should carefully consider everything that might happen in a rental situation. Beckie Peskin – I like the idea of renting horses. I mean, let`s be honest – even before it was officially in order, it happened unofficially. But now it allows people who need to take a year or two off to have a child in college, etc., a stress-free way to “go back” to the industry/keep a beautiful horse. I didn`t take advantage of it, but I thought about it! Every horse owner fears the idea of their horse hurting someone, for example by kicking, biting, or throwing a rider or dog handler. These potential risks and liabilities never go away simply because the owner has rented his horse.

The landlord is still at risk of being sued in a personal injury lawsuit. Filing a lease with the AQHA is a fairly simple process that is often overlooked. Many people don`t know when they enter into a lease with a U.S. Quarter Horse owner that they must formally file the lease with the AQHA. This is a very important step. You protect yourself and every investment you make by signing a lease. It`s always good to have it in black and white! What happens if the rented horse becomes seriously ill or lame while the lease is in effect? What happens if the animal needs an expensive operation such as colic surgery? Illness and injury are a predictable part of a horse`s property, and problems can arise if the tenant fails or refuses to arrange proper veterinary care or pay veterinary fees. Careful pre-planning and adherence to contract wording can help avoid these problems. For example: Trista Mallow – I still think it`s a great program that allows both the landlord and the tenant to benefit from it.

There are people who may not be able to afford to buy a horse, but can afford to maintain the costs of maintenance, training and performance. People choose to rent a horse for many reasons. I think a lease that works best is one that benefits everyone involved. I am not sure everyone understands the current wording of the AQHA lease and I urge anyone thinking about it to read the agreement carefully. A new twist, which began in 2016, states that if the horse is sold during the lease term, the horse cannot be shown by the new amateur or young owner until the initial rental period is over. Liz Long – I still think the AQHA rental program is a very good idea. I think the main reason the AQHA updated the rules is that some people only rented horses for a short time or for certain equestrian shows. For APHA, the leasing program began in January 2015. A person completes the lease form provided by the APHA.

It has the signatures of the tenant and the owner with the start and end dates. In order to terminate the lease prematurely, either party may notify APHA in writing of the termination at any time. This year, there has been some controversy over the APHA leasing rules that APHA is currently facing. However, neither owner wanted to part with their respective horses. While both animals continued to go to shows, the riders were thrilled to have this opportunity, while at the same time, both owners were able to eliminate a monthly expense while tackling their family problems. After the Jugendwelt 2016, a potential buyer approached us about the horse, but it was rented until December 1st. It turned out that the current tenant was concerned about the balance between college and show and was willing to terminate the lease on September 1 rather than December 1 as originally planned. .
