An agister is a person who feeds or pastures livestock for a fee. Agistment contracts are generally subject to the law of bailments. The liability of an agister depends on the terms of the agreement. In the absence of a special contract, the agister is not an insurer against the escape of animals entrusted to his care, but the agreement may provide otherwise.

Care and Custody Agreement: In this agreement, the Facility Owner assumes full responsibility for the welfare, health, and supervision of the horse(s) boarded within the facility. It generally highlights the standard of care provided, access to veterinary care, feeding schedules, turnout arrangements, and any required documentation, such as vaccination records. 3. Liability Release Agreement: To protect both parties from potential legal issues, this agreement outlines the waiver of liability for any injuries, damages, or accidents involving the horse(s) during the boarding period.
