Agent Authorization Agreement
For Horse Owners and Anyone Representing a Horse for Sale
Barstow Contract Co.® | Attorney-Drafted | Fully Customizable Digital Contract Template
This contract is for situations where someone other than the owner is marketing or selling a horse on the owner’s behalf. That can include trainers, brokers, sales agents, sales barns, or any other person or business representing the horse.
It puts the arrangement in writing so both parties know the agent’s authority, how the horse will be marketed, the minimum sales price, commission terms, and how funds will be handled.
Use this agreement if:
You are a horse owner allowing a trainer, broker, sales agent, or sales barn to market or sell your horse.
You are representing a horse for sale and want clear authority and commission protection.
You need to define how marketing, showings, expenses, and payment will be handled before the sale process begins.
