DELIVERED HORSES FOR SHORT TRIPS (Summer Only):
Sombrero Ranches will set a delivery fee based on total mileage, the number of horses delivered and days rented. This is based on the $ 2.00 per mile rate. Sombrero reserves the right to refuse horse rental and/or delivery for any reason we deem appropriate.

INJURED OR DAMAGED HORSES:
If horses are returned with bad wither sores, kidney sores, or damaged so as to be unusable for the rest of the summer season (ending September 17) and hunting season (ending November 20), the Lessee will be charged $ 600.00 for each injured or damaged horse. Nearly all back injuries occur from improper saddling and improper use of tack. Sombrero Ranches will remove horses with severe back sores from your herd without replacement if we feel it is in the best interest of the horse, as severe injuries will not repair/mend during the summer.

If the injury is permanent or the horse dies, the fair market value of the horse will be charged (currently
$ 1,200.00 per saddle horse or $ 1,500.00 per driving horse). Sombrero Ranches, Inc. reserves the right to remove horses at our discretion at any time during this contract due to neglect, misuse of the horses, or lack of timely payments.

HORSE EXCHANGE POLICY:
Sombrero must be notified within two weeks of the horse delivery of any problems. Sombrero will then make arrangements to replace or correct any problems. After the two week period, replacement horses will only be on an "only if available" policy. Horses that die or become permanently injured after two weeks will be replaced under this policy also.

IDENTIFYING/CHOOSING HORSES:
After completing a contract, Sombrero will select your horses for you and will call to make an appointment with you for you to come and view your selections, if you wish. At that time, you can switch horses that you may dislike. This appointment will be made approximately 2 days prior to delivery so plan your delivery and ranch visit accordingly. While at the ranch, the horses may be ridden by you and fitted with saddles, if so desired.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE:
We have established the two following payment policies. It is at Sombrero's discretion which policy we use for each customer. All first year customers will be put on policy #2.

Policy #1- 1/3 due upon delivery, 1/3 due July 1st, 1/3 due August 1st (or as approved by Sombrero Ranches, Inc.)

Policy #2- 1/4 due with contract, 1/4 due upon delivery, 1/4 due July 1st, 1/4 due August 1st.

If your payments are not received by the fifth of the month (or five days from the due date), Sombrero Ranches reserves the right to, AND WILL, immediately remove the horses from Lessee's possession. All summer horse leases will be paid in full by August 1st. Sombrero will charge 1% interest per month on overdue or delinquent accounts.
