Misconceptions

1. Misunderstanding the Trainer's Liability: Many owners believe that the Trainer is fully responsible for any injuries or illnesses that occur while the horse is in their care. In reality, the Trainer is only liable for negligence. The Owner assumes most risks associated with equine activities.

2. Assumption of Risk is Optional: Some owners think they can opt out of the assumption of risk clause. However, this is a standard part of the contract, and by signing, they acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of horse training.

3. Guarantee of Training Results: A common misconception is that the Trainer guarantees specific outcomes from the training program. The Trainer clarifies that results depend on the horse's individual abilities and cannot be promised.

4. Emergency Care Authorization: Owners often believe they must be contacted before any emergency care is administered. The contract allows the Trainer to act in the horse's best interest if the Owner cannot be reached.

5. Understanding of Fees: Some owners assume that all fees are fixed. The contract specifies that fees can vary, and additional costs may arise, especially if services like veterinary care are needed.

6. Ownership of the Horse: Owners may mistakenly think they can board any horse without proof of ownership. The contract requires proof of ownership and a negative Coggins test for all horses.

7. Right to Lien Misconceptions: Some owners believe the Trainer cannot hold their horse for unpaid fees. However, the Trainer has a legal right to a lien under New Mexico law, which allows them to retain the horse until debts are settled.

8. Changes to the Agreement: Owners often think they can make changes to the contract without notice. The Trainer can modify or terminate the agreement with thirty days' written notice, which is a crucial detail for owners to understand.

9. Insurance Coverage Misunderstandings: Many owners are unaware that the Trainer does not carry insurance for horses not owned by them. Owners are encouraged to obtain their own insurance for any horse valued over $5,000.
