Sample 2 week trial agreement

[Jessyka89]

Hi!

I am sending my large pony out on trial tomorrow for 2 weeks. I have known the trainer for years and have sent horses to her barn for leases and have sold one to her. They are trying the pony for her own daughter. I trust her. However, I want a trial agreement for those first 2 weeks (and of course an agreement after the first 2 weeks should she opt to lease instead of buy the pony). Does anyone have a sample that I can use or know where I can find one?

Thanks in advance!
