 * The Brumby must not be sold within 366 calendar days from date of adoption.

 * The adopter agrees to sign a binding adoption contract for their new Brumby outlining all of the details of their new Brumby and terms and conditions.

 * If your Brumby is on a boomerang contract, and you can no longer keep/intend to re-home/sell, the Brumby must be relinquished to HVBA and returned to the HVBA Sanctuary, at no cost to the HVBA
