A must have for everyone in the horse business! If it's one or a hundred horses that you own, this is a great book to have around. I bought it primarily for the purchase agreements, however it also has boarding contracts, breeding contracts, and much more. Not only does it have blank forms to copy in the back, it tells in great detail what your filling out and why. It's worth the money to make sure you have EVERYTHING in writing, and to make sure it's written properly. This is a great book and I highly recommend it.

I purchased the book with the intent of being able to easily draft contracts for various types of horse owner activities. I was not pleased with the example contracts. The book is very poorly done.

For example, the partnership agreement was missing words and apparently sentences,and was missing major partnership points. Essentially,I determined that the writer never read the agreement once in print or ever drafted a useable business partnership agreement.

A beginning law student not knowing anything about the horse business could do a better job drafting the example agreements than the person who attempted to write this book.

I bought this book, which has been very helpful for the start of my new enterprise... but.. the front cover says Software Version... am i missing something??? There was no software with the book. Am I to order it or something?? Other than that., very useful book..

I bought this book because I needed to have access to different types of contracts associated with my horse business. In the ads it states that the program works with Win 95 all the way up to Win XP. NOT SO! It ONLY works with Win 95 and Win version 3.1. To make matters even worse, the technical support number listed in the back of the book for problems is NONEXISTANT! Some of the tear out blank contracts are OK, if you have the time to tear them out perfectly then scan them into to your computer. In short, this product does you no good if you have a good computer. Find another source for your equine contracts!

It shows on the cover that there is Valuable legal advice for Transportation Operators amoung Riders, horse owners and so on. So I bought this thinking I get some great forms and advice for when I hauled other peoples horses, or delivered horses I sold. Forget it - not one form for the TRANSPORTATION OPERATORS for hauling other peoples horses. They should remove that statement - it was the only reason I bought the book. I was very disappointed. Book is a good book if you have a breeding or boarding facility. So if your looking for advice and forms on hauling horses - DON'T LOOK HERE SAVE YOUR SELF SOME MONEY. ALSO beware - there was a contract for cleaning stalls, but nothing for the person who just wants to ride in your arena or use your facilities and not board. Even though it is a good book I only give it 2 stars for mis-representing itself.

The cover says the book comes with a CD that can be used with Microsoft Word. When I received my copy there was a holder for a CD on the inside of the cover but no CD in it. Since I bought the book in order to draft contracts, and I do not like to type, it is useless. I could not even find a telephone number to call to request the CD.

It covers alot of thing that many horse owners need to know. It explains what each part of a contract is for. I have a feeling it is going to help me alot. It has already answered some questions that I have about leasing horses. I would recommend it. I hope you enjoy the book.

For the price, I would have expected to get a CD with form templates. The paper forms alone are good guidelines, but really not as helpful as I would have expected.
