Landowners that look after horses or equestrian businesses are facing a heavier burden of regulation and legislation than ever before. The horse world has its own language and customs and disputes call for a proper understanding of them. It demands specialist equine lawyers who can apply the law realistically and sensibly to equestrian, rural property and countryside issues and have a real grasp on the problems of the equestrian community.
We advise on
- Buying, selling and loaning horses
- Employment of grooms
- Health and safety
- Horse insurance
- Intellectual property
- Liability under the Animals Act 1971
