Employment Contracts & Terms

Below you will find guidance for owners and managers of equestrian establishments with regards to the recruitment of part time, full time, temporary or subcontracted staff. This guidance is free to access and has been sourced from reputable sources. Employment Law and guidance changes regularly and we would always suggest yard owners or managers with employed or self-employed staff join the Equestrian Employers Association for their up-to-date guidance and resources, including their EEA Contract Creator, allowing you to create a bespoke and compliant written statement of employment. 

The information contained on the Yard Owner Hub is provided for guidance only, and we encourage all users to consider their own circumstances and take professional advice where appropriate in relation to the management of their business and the equines in their care.

You may also find useful webinars or podcasts covering these subjects on our Webinars page.

These resources are available free of charge to all, and always will be. All we ask is that if you use any of the documentation, or find the information contained herein useful, please consider adding your yard to LiveryList, and/ or making a secure donation to help cover the work and research that goes into providing these resources:
