Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Partner Jennifer Guidea authored an article titled “Equine Liability Acts: Managing Unpredictability,” published in Equine Business Magazine‘s October 2025 issue.
The article offers an overview of equine liability acts, which aim to balance liability protections with the rights of participants to seek compensation for injuries resulting from factors beyond the inherent risks of equine activities, including negligent or intentional conduct. It further clarifies key legal concepts, defining what constitutes an equine activity, who qualifies as an equine professional, the scope of participants in equine activities, and the inherent risks recognized under the law.
