  • All goods (including horses) are being stabled, handled and/or shipped at owner’s and/or client's risk and are assumed to be insured, unless otherwise agreed in written. If circumstances permit, horses which are stabled at EHS will be turned out and might go into an automatic horse walker, an indoor arena, an outdoor paddock or a grass meadow, again at owner’s and/or client's risk. Also any urgent and/or necessary veterinary treatment(s) are at the cost and risk of the owner and/or client. Off course the owner (or his representative) can give different instructions, but only if done in writing to one of our agents.
  • We keep horses in stables at EHS in motion, if conditions permit, and they may go into a horse walker, indoor arena, meadow and/or outdoor paddock. This is also always done at the risk of the owner and/or client, just like any urgent or necessary veterinary treatments. Any deviating instructions can of course be passed on by the owner (or his representative), but only in writing via one of our employees.
  • Horses stabled at EHS for export preparation to third countries might be excluded from the food chain as a result of veterinary treatments or vaccinations administered following the importing country’s sanitary requirements.
