A young friend of mine will be starting up services for this in the show circuit. She asked me what sort of insurance would be required on her part if the horse got snipped too close, or there was an incident while she was grooming it? Personally, I felt that her contract with each owner should pretty much have a "Hold Harmless" clause because of the nature of horses; but at the same time - there could be an exposure due to her lack of experience with all the various breeds and temperments that could be present at shows. Any input would be very welcome! Thank you in advance for any consideration - Dawn  |

Hmmm this strikes me as best asked of a local lawyer familiar with damage claims, I am unsure what her liablity is likely to be. We do have a sample "hold harmless" agreement on the Legal Page that could be modified to her situation but this too would need to be gone over by a local lawyer.

Thank you very much Dr.O - I will pull that up and print it and refer her on. Seems the simplest things we go to do for others now-a-days have hidden strings that usually lead to lawsuits - sad.... |
