Description of horse for contract?

Question

Reposting as I got no answers

I'm working on a boarding contract for my new barn (they want to come up with a new one for me since my boarding situation with them is different than usual). Part of my contract has a description of horse (btw I'm using a contract I found and am tweaking it to fit what I need. Taking out parts I feel unnecessary and adding things in that I do). The section describing "Description of horse" only states that contract is for horse in attached document, which I'm making by hand. Here is what I have, tell me what you think and what I need to add please (showing barn owner tomorrow as she wants to see what I come up with and work on it from there).

Please note some items are left blank or changed to protect my identity.

Description of Horse

This is an official description of horse for the Boarding agreement between (Stable) and (Owner).

Owner agrees that all following information is accurate and complete under penalty of contract termination.

1.	Registered Name: (enter registration name here)

Cow licks (hair swirls)  are always the same you could note a couple of her cowlicks.  They usually have some on or near the mane or where it is placed on  her head.

For the description of the horse, I'd start with the one the vet does for the Coggins papers.  This should include color, all markings, and all whorls.  To that, I'd add any scars or other odd features (dished nose, unusual eye color, ermine spots, bend or spots, etc.), but as you say she has none, that wouldn't matter for you.  Horses that are tattooed or branded would also include that.

If the horse is a pinto or has unusual markings, photos can be vital.

I don't see any real reason they should have a copy of the registration papers - it's not like it would help identify the horse more than the description, and many horses do not come with papers.

As far as the rest,  I'd add any critical health data, starting with age, gender, medications, and so on.  That way, you have proof you told them of any issues.

I think you should add her height, and that's plenty.  If you want even more, you could have "Brands, tattoos, scars:  none".  I'm not sure if giving the boarding barn a copy of your horse's registration papers is a good idea.  I"m sure you've checked them out, but that almost sounds like an easy way for an unscrupulous stable owner to sell your horse and tell you she died or something.  There's probably a very slim chance of that happening, but I have heard of it happening before...

The only thing I can think of to add would be scars, brands or other identifying marks.

Edit: Then I think your list Is quite thorough! You could add her height, maybe even estimated weight if you wanted.
