A great number of Mounted Patrol Units and volunteer posse organizations utilize horses for mounted police work that are not owned by the agency. For a number of reasons it is very important, (if not essential), that a lease be established between the agency and the owner of the horse. The lease will typically establish the conditions of the use of the horse, any compensations by the agency (lessee), assignment of responsibilities and limitations of liability. Such leases at one time were often only for $1.00 annually. There was recent discussion that for the lease to be enforceable, the lease would have to be for a minimum of $10.00 annually and the payment actually cashed. Does anyone know case law regarding the need to make the lease $10 opposed to $1.00 year?
If you have a copy of a lease that you would like to share, please send it to me and I will post it on the FLAMP.org website under Documents.
