Part One of Equine Legal Issues - Fiona Farrell, Esq.

Secrets of Equine Contracts

Have you ever signed a contract to do with horses or riding? Have you

ever wondered what was in it? What rights and responsibilities were you

really agreeing to? Have you wondered if a stray word has created a

contract? What if you’re unhappy with a contract?

Contracts are as varied as horses and riders are. Talking can make a

contract. Habit can. A text or email thread can. Most formal is a written

document. We’ll talk about all of them.

We’ll talk about the relationship a contract creates. What role does the

human factor play in contracts – such as expectations, communications?

Please bring your questions, concerns, and experiences. This talk is for

you. The more interactive the better.
