Getting it right from the start

There is nothing more exciting than the search for your perfect horse or pony, but it is equally important to make sure that your interests are protected from day one.

Our lawyers can help you understand the potential pitfalls and risks of horse ownership and care and can provide legal and practical guidance on buying, selling, loaning or providing livery services.

They will help you ensure that you have the right agreements, policies and contracts in place to protect you regardless of whether things go to plan or if something unexpected happens.
