The equestrian sector is increasingly on the rise and more internationalised, so the often-complex situations you may find in the national and international equine sector are vaster. Today, horses are handed to expert riders for competition or reproduction purposes, or to amateurs for learning and practising, they are shared by several owners… Furthermore, the sector is getting more regulated both in animal welfare law with respect to equestrian facilities and sport rules, specially related to the sports professions. The ignorance of the urban planning rules frequently causes huge problems to the owners of riding centres, aggravated by the ignorance of the authorities about the needs and requirements of this kind of facilities. For this reason, it is essential to rely on a Lawyer, not only expert in these legal areas, but also with a deep knowledge of the equine sector, as the intervention of an animal with such special behaviour and needs may complicate many situations.
