Recent Publication

Elaine's most recent article was published by the Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture and Natural Resources Law in 2022.   Entitled "Horses, Humans and the Law:  A Study of the Four Pillars of Support for Horse Ownership", the article details the permissive state and federal laws which protect and enable the rights to own and utilize horses.  While many horse owners are aware of the restrictive category of laws (outlining what one can't do) which apply to them, they may not realize that there is also a permissive category of laws (outlining what one can do) which can and do safeguard their equestrian lifestyles. No other resource contains such an equine-specific compilation of supportive laws and legislative proposals. Read the full article here.
