Horse Agistment Agreement Bundle
Clearly define responsibilities, services and expectations for DIY and Full Care horse agistment arr
Horse agistment arrangements vary from simple DIY paddock agistment through to comprehensive Full Care services, with each arrangement involving different responsibilities, expectations and levels of care.
Whether you're an agistment provider welcoming horses onto your property or a horse owner seeking DIY or Full Care agistment, having the right documentation helps establish clear expectations from the outset, reduce misunderstandings and support positive, professional arrangements.
The StableDocs Horse Agistment Agreement Bundle has been developed specifically for Australia and New Zealand and brings together our complete collection of agistment agreements, rules and supporting documents in one practical, easy-to-use package. With templates covering both DIY and Full Care agistment, you'll have the flexibility to choose the right documents for your property while saving compared with purchasing each template individually.
What do the Agreements Cover?
These documents have been designed around the situations that commonly arise in horse agistment arrangements, including:
- DIY and Full Care agistment arrangements
- Agistment fees and payment terms
- Services provided and care responsibilities
- Property rules and facility use
- Stable, arena and common area expectations
- Veterinary treatment and emergency procedures
- Liability, risk and insurance considerations
- Biosecurity and property access requirements
- Notice periods, termination and horse removal
- General responsibilities of both horse owners and agistment providers
Why use a written Agreement?
Many arrangements begin with good intentions, but without documenting the details, misunderstandings can develop over time.
A written agreement helps:
- Clarify each person's responsibilities
- Reduce misunderstandings
- Document financial arrangements
- Set expectations for horse care and riding
- Support the welfare of the horse
- Provide a clear reference point throughout the lease
While no agreement can prevent every disagreement, documenting expectations early provides clarity for everyone involved.
What is the Horse Agistment Agreement Bundle?
Not every horse agistment arrangement is the same. Some horse owners retain responsibility for the day-to-day care of their horse through DIY agistment, while others choose Full Care services where the agistment provider assumes responsibility for daily care.
Every property also has its own facilities, rules and operating procedures.
The StableDocs Horse Agistment Agreement Bundle brings together everything you need to document and manage both DIY and Full Care agistment arrangements. From professionally written agreements through to property rules and supporting documents, this bundle helps establish clear expectations, support horse welfare and reduce misunderstandings.
With editable Microsoft Word documents, ready-to-print PDFs and user guides included, you'll have the flexibility to customise the documents to suit your property and use the right agreement for every situation—all in one convenient bundle..
