FAQ's

Helpful Answers
What kinds of equine contracts do you draft?

Horse purchase and sale agreements, full/half/care leases, boarding and facility contracts, and training and breeding agreements — each customized to your operation rather than pulled from a template.

Can you help protect my barn from liability?

Yes. We prepare liability waivers, releases, and the statutory signage required under equine activity liability law, and we audit barn operations, safety procedures, and insurance coverage (including care, custody, and control) to reduce exposure.

What if a horse I bought was misrepresented?

Undisclosed lameness, pre-existing conditions, and fraudulent sales practices are all actionable. We handle misrepresentation and fraud claims as well as breach of contract disputes over lease terms and unpaid fees.

Do you work with equine non-profits and rescues?

Yes — entity setup, tax-exempt filing, and governance for therapeutic riding programs, rescues, and sanctuaries, along with LLC and corporate formation for boarding, training, and breeding businesses.
