Equine Law
Equine law is a highly specialized area of legal practice that centers on regulating a wide range of activities related to horses and the equine industry. It governs various horse transactions, including sales, leases, and breeding arrangements. Moreover, equine law encompasses horse-related torts, such as veterinary malpractice and injuries sustained during riding or other equine activities. This field also delves into the legal aspects of horse businesses, providing comprehensive guidance and regulations for individuals and entities involved in the equine industry.

Horse owners often develop strong emotional connections with their animals. However, horses are primarily valued for their commercial and functional purposes, as opposed to the more typical perception of them as companion animals or pets.
Owning a horse can be costly, not just due to the initial purchase price but also due to ongoing expenses such as dental care, food costs, and farrier services. This level of investment warrants professional, experienced legal counsel and representation to protect your interests.
