Equine law – expert legal advice for horse owners and riding businesses

Streitbörger provides clients with comprehensive and practical advice on all aspects of equine law. A particular focus of our work is on equine sales law. Here, we support both buyers and sellers in drafting legally compliant sales contracts, clarify warranty rights, and represent our clients’ interests in disputes over material defects, rescission, or purchase price reductions. In addition, we offer legal advice on liability law, e.g., in the event of riding accidents or damage caused by horses. We advise horse owners, riding partners, and stable operators on issues of animal owner and animal supervisor liability. Insurance issues, for example in connection with animal owner liability, are also included in our advice. Another important area is contract law relating to horses. Streitbörger supports its clients in drafting and reviewing boarding contracts, riding partnership agreements, training and riding contracts, and contracts with trainers or riding stables. The aim is to identify legal risks at an early stage and to create clear, balanced regulations. The consulting services are rounded off by legal support in disputes with veterinarians, breeders, or associations, as well as by out-of-court and in-court representation in the event of a dispute. We attach great importance to providing understandable advice, individual solutions, and a realistic assessment of the chances of success.
