In this case, the boarding team was able to dismiss the appeal because of its carefully worded exemption from liability. Stables would be well advised to include liability exemptions in their boarding contracts (if permitted by law). Stables seeking insurance coverage for rights related to injury or loss of horses may also consider purchasing “care, conservation or control” insurance coverage. The defendant team`s boarding contract contained an exemption clause from liability which specifically concerned the plank horse. It states in part: (1) This Act does not apply to a horse race governed by the Racing Act of 1980, Public Records Act No. 327 of 1980, sections 431.61 to 431.88 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. (iii) the daily maintenance of horses that are housed in a horse facility. .
