Mortimers is one of the only specialists in Equine Law in Shropshire and the West Midlands.

In rural counties such as Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, keeping horses as a hobby or for competition is a commonplace activity. Also, many farmers and smallholders have diversified into livery yards, trekking centres and riding schools.

There are several potential pitfalls connected with equestrian law and keeping horses.

These areas include potential liabilities, particularly with regard to injury, buying and selling, livery and loan contracts, employment issues, the 1970 Animals Act, health and safety, and hunting.

Our team has real experience and expertise in all of these matters relating to Equine Law.

We also understand how important horses can be to their owners emotionally. It therefore comes naturally to us take a sensitive approach to our clients when presented with an equestrian issue.
