Written by a practising barrister and explained in lay terms, this is an essential book for every responsible horse rider or owner, and a valuable reference for anyone outside the horse industry who needs to understand the legal pitfalls where horses are concerned.
Ten years have elapsed since the last publication of this book, necessitating a substantially revised edition of this invaluable guide to equine law for students, owners and professionals within the horse industry – and solicitors involved in cases concerning horses. Existing subjects brought up to date include: buying and selling, lending and borrowing, negligence, import and export, riding establishments, rights of way, road traffic, veterinary surgeons, betting and gaming, and rules and disciplinary procedures of equestrian bodies.
