Term of Lease.

This half-lease agreement is a month to month agreement and either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party

two (2) weeks, or fourteen (14) days notice. Any violation of this lease by the Lessee will cause immediate termination.

Lease Entitlements.

The Lessee acknowledges that this lease entitles them to the following:

1. Up to _________ practice rides per week (to be scheduled in advance). I understand that these practice rides DO NOT

accumulate, and will be forfeited if I do not show up to ride. However, these practice rides may occasionally be rescheduled

during the week at the discretion of the Leasor or Painted Bar Stables by telephoning in advance, if the stable schedule

permits. All practice rides will be on the farm, i.e., in the outdoor riding ring, the indoor riding ring, in the round pen or on

the circumferential trail. The duration of the practice rides will not exceed two (2) hours. I agree to thoroughly cool out the

horse after each ride for a minimum of 10 minutes and put him away clean, dry and appropriately blanketed.

Painted Bar Stables hosts off-property trail rides on a weekly basis throughout the surrounding countryside. I may

participate in these rides at no cost if no help is needed or half cost for the assistance of Painted Bar Stables crew at the

discretion of Painted Bar Stables. These rides will count as one of the weekly rides permitted.

It is my responsibility to communicate with Painted Bar Stables as to when they are going for trail rides and schedule the

ride ahead of time. Painted Bar Stables is in no way responsible for communicating or announcing their trail ride schedule.

2. Use of tack and equipment, i.e., saddle, saddle pad, bridle, protective horse boots, blankets, horse brushes, halter and

lead rope. This equipment is provided by the Lessor and is in excellent condition and repair. I agree to clean saddle and

bridle used by me each time I finish riding, and return the equipment to its place and in general, clean up after each ride

(i.e., leave the stable as I found it). This includes discarding any horse manure that the leased horse may leave in the main

aisles or elsewhere in the facilities.

The Standard equipment to be used on said horse is:

Protective headgear will be worn while riding.

I agree to provide my own protective headgear, an SEI approved riding helmet, and I agree to wear this helmet each time I ride.

Riding without protective headgear instantly terminates this lease, and any lease exchange will be forfeited.

Appropriate riding apparel will be worn.

I understand that sneakers, sandals, and restricting clothing are not appropriate riding apparel and I will not wear them while

around the Painted Bar Stables facilities or near any of the horses. I will wear appropriate footwear, i.e., either paddock boots, tall

boots or regular shoes with a low heel.

Sole Riding Privilege.

I understand that I have sole riding privilege and will not allow anyone else (family, relative or friend) on the horse during the lease

period. All guests to the stables facility will be required to sign the stable waiver. Lease will be terminated and lease fee forfeited if I

allow anyone else on the horse during the lease period.

Sole Owner of the Horse.

The Lessor is the sole owner of the leased horse and has complete authority regarding care and use of this horse by the Lessee. The

Lessor warrants that the Painted Bar Stables and its owners has on premises a good and clear title to the Horse, free from any liens.

During the course of this half-lease, the horse will remain free of all liens, charges and claims and the horse will not be sold or

mortgaged. The horse is and shall remain the sole property of the Lessor. Painted Bar Stables also has sole ownership and/or

responsibility of the other horses at the stable and has the sole power of authority to allow another horse to substitute for a ride if

the leased horse is unavailable.

Transportation.

The Lessor will not remove the horse from the property or transport the horse on a permanent or temporary at any time (except for

designated and approved trail rides).

Emergency Care.

In the case of the need for emergency and/or major veterinary care, if the horse experiences an injury or medical issue as a result of

the Lessor’s care (i.e., colic or thrush), the Lessor will take on the entirety of the expenses for the needed emergency veterinary care.

If the injury or medical issue as a result of the Lessee’s actions or while under the supervision (i.e., severe cuts during trail rides,

lameness after a strenuous work out, etc…) of the Lessee, the Lessee agrees to split the cost of the needed emergency veterinary

care with the Painted Bar Stables, each paying equal halves (including taxes, surcharges and additional fees).

Right to Inspection.

The Lessor has the right at any time, in person or by authorized agent, to inspect the horse to determine if the horse is being

properly cared for, treated with respect, and is in good health. The Lessor reserves the right to terminate this agreement

immediately if the horse is not being properly cared for by the Lessee.
