You can also bequeath money to be used specifically for the care of your horses to a designated person or farm (with their permission). Don't leave money to the animals because they are legally property and can't receive money.
Since horses are more costly to maintain, you need to get the approval of the person you wish to be named as the new owner. There was a strange story about a horse owner who became unable to make decisions for his horses and was hospitalized. His companion grew tired of caring for the animals and gave them all away. When the owner recuperated and returned home, he discovered all of his horses were gone.
What provisions do you have to ensure that good decisions will be made on the part of your horses
should you become incapable of making those decisions?
You can ensure via a Living Will that your wishes are undertaken for your horse's welfare even if you are incapacitated.
There are several online sources that have forms you can create for a Will, Living Will or Power of Attorney.
Once you've put to ink your decisions regarding the care of your horses, you can feel better knowing that should you proceed before them across the rainbow bridge, they'll be in good hands.
Several people have set up endowments with us for the care of their horses in the unlikey
even something happens to them. If you feel you would like to do the same, we would be happy to help
you make proivisions for your horses at Wellgreen!
