Equine Legal Solutions has put together a thoughtful Q&A, well worth exploring if you are a barn owner.
Questions include:
If I choose not to close my barn at this time, do I have potential liability?
If I close my barn and deny my boarders and customers access to their horses, do I have potential liability?
If I have on-site trainers at my facility, should any barn closure extend to them?
What if my facility has horses that MUST be taken out of their stalls for exercise every day and we have no turnout areas or the horse is not one that can be turned out for its own safety?
My facility is self-care only, or some of my boarders are on a self-care program. What should I do?
