Equine-related liabilities & Equine activity liability Acts: How they work & how to comply with them

Currently, 48 states around the country have some form of an equine activity liability law. These laws limit or control certain liabilities involving a variety of equine-related activities. All of these laws differ, and questions abound as to how they work, what people and businesses in the equine industry need to do to comply, how these laws impact waivers/releases, what kind of signs should be posted and who should post them, what happens if there is no compliance, and what types of liabilities still exist in the states with these laws.
