I think I will ask if I can. Until they pay for him, I'm going whenever I want.
She also said they have insurance forms that they need me to help answer a few questions about and to give me??? Do you know if this will be to insure the horse, or for the kid in case of injury??

It would be good to pay attention to that.
It is probably insurance for her stable. She may want to be not held liable for natural or normal injury or death of the horse. She is always on the hook for her own negligence, agreement or not, but it may be similar to the agreement you'd sign if you were boarding the horse.
It will probably have language in it that says she is not responsible for anything. It will sound scary, but remember that no 'hold-harmless' agreement releases anyone from liability for negligence.
I would say that as the owner of a stable that often has a lot of valuable horses in it, she's insured to cover lots of types of liability to animals and people on her place.
I would say that it would be very good to know if your trial agreement is actually with ~her~ or with the parents of the child. It might be really fuzzy in a circumstance like this. I would have some ~direct~ conversation with the parents of the kid too, make sure you are all on the same page on what you expect and what you will hold them responsible for, and make sure there aren't different understandings between the three of you.
