Equine Law Attorney in Florida

Professionally Handling your Equestrian Law Issues

Horse owners across the country enjoy the pleasure of owning and riding their horses.  Many businesses surround horses, including racing, contests, rodeos, pleasure riding.  The area of equine law is a very complex legal system with very few legal counsels familiar with these laws.  At the Law Office of Tauna R. Bogle, P.A., we can help clients with various legal matters surrounding their horses. 

One area of Equine law that is very specifically written in Florida involves the buying, selling and leasing of horses.  With one of the few laws in the country that outlines the legal issues when horse trading, it can raise issues regarding deception if not done properly.  The laws are complex and require exact disclosure and documentation.  With my experience, I can successfully prepare your documentation to ensure there is full disclosure and no chance of fraud due to failure to disclose information.  Florida's stance on this issue is that a horse sale should be documented in the same way as real estate transactions.

Just some of the types of the issues that can arise in Equine law are:

• Breach of Contract
• Premises Liability
• Personal Injury
• Wrongful Death

Under Florida law, an equine activity sponsor or equine professional is not liable for an injury to, or the death of, a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities.  However, there can be mitigating circumstances that would result in an individual having to defend themselves or their business or organization in such a case.  In addition, if you were the party injured, you may possibly have a claim depending on the possible circumstances surrounding the accident.
