  When Horse Law was first published in 1990, its original purpose was to provide a simple guide to the law for the horse owner as well as providing an initial reference book for solicitors or barristers who found themselves involved in cases concerning horses. The legal profession has changed considerably in the last 10 years; the trend is towards specialization and consequently there are a growing number of equine-law specialists. This comprehensive, updated and expanded edition is still a pertinent initial reference book for lawyers and covers a wide range of areas which can affect the horse world including: theft; buying and selling; negligence; the Animals Act 1971; rights of way for riders; keeping a horse, road traffic; protection of animals from cruelty: gaming and betting and the rules and regulations of the various equine disciplines. Horse Law does, however, remain sufficiently readable for the non-lawyer to find helpful. It is an invaluable and essential book, not only for the legal profession, but also other professionals involved in, or connected with horses whether students, instructors, veterinary surgeons, transporters or farriers.
