I get a lot of inquiries from lawyers and law students about how they can develop a niche practice in equine law. Below are the most common FAQs and my responses. 1. Is there enough business in equine law to make a living? The answer to this is a resounding "yes"! I honestly do not believe the state in which you live will dictate this, either. I left a big firm 2 years ago and have been exclusively handling equine matters since then. I now have more business than I know what to do with. And I... Posted on September 3, 2009 at 06:35 pm

This lien will be effective both before and after the animal is released to the owner. Prior to the effective date of this legislation, veterinarians have no statutory lien on treated animals to secure veterinary services other than board. See "Liens for Veterinarians and Farriers in Texas" (February 18, 2008) As of January 2009, twenty-eight... Posted on July 25, 2009 at 05:59 pm

Horses are not required to be registered in any particular place or with any particular registry. In fact many horses are not registered at all. The way to clearly evidence the transfer of ownership of a horse is to document the transaction with a purchase and sale agreement, followed by a bill of sale. It is important to start any transaction with a purchase and sale agreement as opposed to a bill of sale. This agreement should contain all the terms upon which the buyer and seller have agreed,...

There have been SO many things I've wanted to write about lately, but I've let summer get the best of me and been a bad little blogger. In an effort to "catch up", here are just a few of the things I've been thinking about the last couple months: If you haven't seen the documentary THE [...] Posted on September 17, 2009 at 07:41 am by mmg

The weekend of June 13th and 14th I went to an animal rights conference in the Twin Cities called Their Lives, Our Voices. Much like last year, it was awesome.

This video nicely highlights the insanity in killing "racing" horses when they become injured. I think my favorite parts are when Shawn's mother says "it's just so expensive to keep a lame gymnast"; and then when the host asks her if Shawn was in a lot of pain at the end, and she replies, "oh [...] Posted on June 22, 2009 at 06:01 am by mmg

After a horse died on the street while pulling a wedding couple during Portland's recent heat wave, local officials are wondering whether to enact a carriage ban. It should be an easy question: a city with modern streetcars, trams, and light rail should absolutely turn its back on the antiquated animal abuse inherent in working horses in street traffic and summer heat. If the mayor needs more information before supporting at least a significant partial ban on the carriage trade, which is... Posted on August 7, 2009 at 12:34 am by Dane E. Johnson

The rising popularity of city chickens is easy to understand. According to BackYardChickens.com, they're easy and inexpensive to maintain, they control insects and weeds without toxic chemicals, and they manufacture the world's finest fertilizer. They are also fascinating, intelligent animals with distinctive personalities. What's harder to understand are the legal ramifications of keeping the birds cooped up in the urban environment. In Salem, Oregon's capital city, for example, keeping... Posted on July 31, 2009 at 11:34 pm by Dane E. Johnson

As the weather heats up, the danger to dogs from being left in cars rises accordingly. Case in point: a one-year old black Lab died recently after being pulled from a car at a Spokane mall. The car's owner apparently left the young animal in the car before going inside to see a movie. Cracking the window may not keep a dog from dying in a closed car during a hot summer day. Even a short stop may be fatal. Leave the Labrador at home before heading out on the road, unless you're going to take him... Posted on June 28, 2009 at 11:54 pm by Dane E. Johnson
