I have a horse that I have given away to a good home and all I ask of the new owner is the horse not be sold and if she were to have to get rid of him he would come back to me. I am looking for a good contract to protect both of us but I am not sure where to find one or even what kind of contract it would go under. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kerry

We do not have such a sales contract and though I am not a lawyer I would think once you relinquish ownership further stipulations are a bit of a legal cornundrum (sp?). We do have a lease form that you may be able to modify to your use. Ms Fershtman certainly would be a good resource for this.

Hello,

I just placed an older horse in a great home for "free" (bill of sale was for $1) but used the sales contract to protect myself and the horse. Use a standard sales contract with a right of first refusal to buy the horse back at the same price you "sold" him. That worked for me.

The contract I used is stored on a different computer than the one I am on now, but if you would like a copy let me know and I will find it and email it to you.

I recently went through the same thing and ended up using an adoption contract. If you look at some of the rescue organizations, they have good contracts. I did not use one of the rescue organization's - I'm sure there are copyright issues, but had an attorney draw up a contract with many of the same points listed.

Debbie if its not to much trouble to send me a copy of your contract that would be great, I am still researching the best option.

I would be happy to help, but I will need a reminder from my home email account(these posts come through on my work computer). Please email me at debbie.green@cox.net and I will be happy to send it to you from home.
