5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for ANYONE who owns horses..., August 26, 2001

This review is from: Understanding Equine Law (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book to anyone in the horse world. I own a small horse farm, and I have learned the hard way that you need to be very aware of equine law before you sell a horse (or board, etc). This is kind of a thin book, but it covers a lot and was easy to read. It's a small investment that may save lots of money and heartache in the long run! So no matter if you have one horse, or a hundred, you really should read this helpful little book!
