Five Foolish Reasons Not to Get Liability Insurance
If
you have an equine business, no matter how small or
unprofitable it is, you need commercial liability
insurance. Period. Here
are some of the common reasons we hear about why
trainers, boarding stables, and other equine businesses
do not have liability insurance, and why those reasons
don't make sense.
What
Kind of Insurance Does a Trainer Need?
If
you are training horses and receiving compensation for
training, you will need insurance. Although Equine Legal
Solutions is a law firm and does not sell insurance, we
often assist clients in determining their coverage needs
and in negotiating coverage issues with their insurers. Here
are the types of insurance we recommend, and reasons why
they are advisable to have.

Reasons
Not to Foreclose on an Agister's Lien
Non-paying boarders and abandoned horses have always
been a significant problem for boarding stables, and
judging from the volume of calls we receive at Equine
Legal Solutions, the problem is escalating quickly.
While state agister's lien laws typically provide the
boarding stable with an automatic lien on the horses for
unpaid past due board, foreclosing on that lien may not
make sense. In this new article, we discuss when
foreclosure is not practical, and other options that the
boarding stable may have.
The Legal Landscape of Horse Sales
At Equine Legal Solutions, we receive calls from thousands of dissatisfied horse buyers who want to know what their legal options are. In this new article, we walk you through the legal landscape of a horse purchase.

Partnerships: Traps for the Unwary
"Partnering"
on a horse can be extremely risky, particularly because
partnerships often have more legal meaning than the
parties intend.
In addition, many horse industry relationships are
actually partnerships, whether the parties realize it or
not.
