Equine Law

The equine world is governed by a raft of legislation and case law such as the Animals Act 1971, The Animal Welfare Act 2006, Equine Identification (Wales) Regulations 2019 and The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 as amended governing the responsibilities, care, use and transport of horses.

There are many pitfalls, and if you fall foul of this regulatory system, our Rural team can provided you with detailed and considerable knowledge in these areas to assist you.

We also specialise in equine disputes, with dispute resolution services available to resolve any issues that have arisen with the sale and purchase of a horse (including cross border purchases and sales), misrepresentation, debt recovery, veterinary negligence, and liability under the Animals Act 1971.
