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
- livery and grazing agreements
- horseboxes and trailers
