Trainer Liabilities for Horses in Their Care And How Trainers and Horse Owners Can Protect Themselves Dan hired a trainer, Sarah, to train his horse and haul it to a few shows during the year. While under Sarah’s care, however, Dan’s horse colicked, and a veterinarian had to put the horse down. Should Sarah, the trainer, be responsible for paying for the loss of Dan’s horse and his vet bills? WHAT THE LAW EXPECTS OF A TRAINER’S SERVICES When a person, such as Dan, leaves a horse with a trainer for care, keeping, and training, the law generally requires the trainer to use “reasonable care” in carrying out these tasks. This means that the trainer must use the degree of care that a prudent and careful trainer would use in similar circumstances. Clients like Dan who bring claims against their trainers for injuries to or losses of their horses must prove that the trainer somehow fell short of this standard, that the trainer’s failings were the legal cause of the horse’s demise, and that the trainer should be legally accountable for damages that resulted. DIFFICULTIES AND COMPLEXITIES OF SUING HORSE TRAINERS The loss of a horse is unfortunate, but courts will expect Dan to do far more than point to the loss of his horse and blame the trainer. He will need to prove that the trainer is legally responsible. This can be a complicated process for a few reasons: Even with the best possible care, horses can develop colic. Dan’s horse might have harbored a condition that made it more likely to colic, having nothing to do with the quality of care that Sarah and her staff gave. To prove that improper care caused his horse’s demise, Dan may need to retain an expert witness veterinarian. That expert would evaluate the evidence, such as necropsy information, veterinary records, surgical records, evaluation of the horse (if it is alive), and all other documents. The expert might also need to conduct further tests on the horse. Afterwards, Dan would expect the expert to issue a conclusion supportive of Dan’s case. People may be unwilling to testify against the trainer. The trainer may have several customers and employees who have seen first-hand the care and attention that the trainer gave Dan’s horse. Still, they might not want to be involved. Even if Dan’s lawyer subpoenas them to testify at a deposition or trial regarding the trainer’s care, their testimony could be unpredictable. WHAT THE TRAINER STANDS TO LOSE If Dan wins his case against the trainer, he might, at a minimum, seek to collect the horse’s value immediately before the death plus (where allowed by law) the decrease in the horse’s value that he attributes to the trainer’s care. His case might also seek expenses he incurred while trying to bring his back to health, such as veterinary bills, equine hospitalization costs, and hauling fees. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, he might also seek to recover the value of any lost foals or lost net earnings from races, shows, or stud fees. Under prevailing law in most states, Dan cannot expect to recover losses from “pain and suffering.”
DAMAGE CONTROL FOR TRAINERS AND HORSE OWNERS Through careful advance planning, horse trainers and owners can try to protect themselves from problems before they occur. Trainers Liability Insurance. Liability insurance will not prevent problems from happening, but it could spare trainers the burden of hiring a lawyer or settling disputes with their own funds. For equine businesses, the typical insurance is Commercial General Liability Insurance and/or Equine Professional Liability Insurance, but trainers may need more. Because these liability insurance policies may not protect trainers against claims involving horses that are injured or die due to the trainer’s negligence while the horse is in the trainer’s care, custody, and control, trainers should consider purchasing an extra coverage endorsement known as “Care, custody, and control” insurance (some companies call it “care custody, or control” insurance or a “bailee coverage legal liability” policy). Discuss appropriate coverages and policy limits with a knowledgeable insurance agent. Liability releases. In most states, courts have enforced liability releases – as long as the documents are properly worded and signed. Trainers can consider including properly-worded liability releases within their training contracts (where allowed by law). Our blog discussed this issue recently. Here is a link. Owners Equine insurance. Horse owners can contact a knowledgeable insurance agent about purchasing mortality, major medical, and/or loss of use insurance. These coverages are designed to compensate horse owners for the covered loss of a horse and for certain expenses associated with the horse’s veterinary care. Keep in mind that insurers, after they pay claims, almost always have the right to bring legal action against parties who might be responsible for causing the loss. This legal concept is called “subrogation,” and equine insurers might pursue it against trainers believed to be negligent. This article does not constitute legal advice. When questions arise based on specific situations, direct them to a knowledgeable attorney. Julie Fershtman is one of the nation’s most experienced Equine Law practitioners. A Shareholder with the firm Foster Swift Collins & Smith, PC, based in Michigan, she has successfully tried equine cases before juries in 4 states. She has also drafted hundreds of equine industry contracts. She is a Fellow and officer of the American College of Equine Attorneys. Her speaking engagements on Equine Law span 28 states, and she is the author of three books on equine law issues.

Anticipation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it’s
one characteristic that makes horses so trainable. If they didn’t anticipate, we wouldn’t be able to train them. The trick is to use the horse’s anticipation in our favor. It’s important to realize that you play a major role in your horse’s tendency to anticipate and can curb his anticipation by implementing the tips below.
you shifting your weight, no matter how slight, in the saddle. Practice Parts, Not the Whole
If you show your horse in an event with patterns, like
reining or dressage, don’t practice the pattern from start to finish during training sessions. Taking your horse through the same patterns over and over is not only boring, but teaches him that
Be Mindful of Yourself Without realizing it, you may be unintentionally giving your horse “pre-cues” to a maneuver. When I was riding Mindy regularly, I had to be very careful of this. Because she was so in tune to me after 13 years of working together, if I even thought ahead to what I was going to ask her to do, she’d start doing it. Uncon-

the same things happen at the same places in the arena, in the same sequence. Instead of waiting for your cues, your horse will be thinking, “I already know what comes next, we’ve done this a million times” and will take matters into his own hands.
When you’re schooling your horse, work on individual

about the next maneuver until the exact moment I wanted her to do it. I often see riders unconsciously cueing their horses in clinics when working on pattern exercises. Let’s say the rider is supposed to ride their horse in a straight line before turning him one way or the other. What often happens is the rider will be thinking ahead to the turn they’re about to make and will start to lean
Keep Your Horse Guessing
You always want your horse thinking, “What’s next?”
If you constantly keep him guessing about what you’ll ask him to do, he’ll be forced to tune into you. That means mixing up your training sessions so you don’t practice the same exercises in the same order. It also means that you’re conscious of being a

do the opposite of what the horse thinks you’re going to do.
Be sure to include variety in your training program. Variety is cru-
cial to not only keeping your horse happy and interested in his job, but will stop him from anticipating you. Don’t just ride your horse in the arena and keep drilling on the same exercises. Train him on the trail. You can practice the same maneuvers – sidepassing, two-tracking, bending, etc., only your horse will be more interested in his job because he’ll be in a new environment.
Practice Patience If you want your horse to wait for your cues and be patient, you have to practice. Whatever you practice with your horse is what he gets good at. I literally include periods of waiting into my training sessions. For example, my performance horses often anticipate lead departures. When I feel a horse doing that, I walk them forward on a straight line, push their hip up to set them up for the departure and then instead of kissing and asking them to lope off, I hold the position for a few seconds and then do the complete opposite –
You can even incorporate obstacles into your training program. Don’t just sidepass, instead sidepass over a log. Back around objects. Do hill work. Us-

we’re going to do before we do it. Before long, he’ll figure, “Why wait for the kiss? I’ll just canter off as soon as he puts his leg back.” Or, if I’m working on rollbacks and I feel like the horse is rushing through the turns, getting sloppy and not thinking about where he’s placing his feet, instead of stopping and bringing his front end through the turn immediately, I’ll stop him and then flex his head from side to side before asking him to make the turn. I want the horse waiting for my cues, not just going through the
If you’re conscious about building these “waiting periods” into your training sessions, not only will it teach your horse to slow down and pay attention to you, but it’ll stop you from rushing through the maneuvers as well.

Richard Winters
Direction & Drive With Richard Winters
How well can you “send” your horse? With your horse at the end of a halter and lead rope, can you send them out and away from you in a specific direction? Perhaps you have the ability to send them into a trailer. Can you send your horse over a log or a little ditch? I recently had a young horse that did not want to step onto the wash rack in my barn. Rather than continuing to pull on the lead rope, I stepped over to the side and sent my horse up onto the wash rack. Let’s Start With The Tools
I prefer a simple hand tied rope halter with a 12-foot lead rope that has some good substance and feel. Unlike a wide web halter that horses tend to lean and brace against, the rope halter is more conducive to communication. The 12foot lead rope allows me to move my horse out and away and keep them at a safe distance. If my lead rope is too short, I’m taking the chance of getting kicked. When sending my horse I think about communicating clear signals for direction and drive. If I’m sending my horse off to the left, I will direct with my left hand on the lead rope showing my horse which way to go. With my right hand I will drive. I often like to use the end of my lead rope in a swinging motion like a propeller. However if you are more comfortable with a stick, flag or whip, that could be fine as well. The Pass-By Exercise A great way to improve your sending skills,
using direction and drive, is to practice the “pass-by” exercise. This can be done along any fence-line or wall. The idea is to send your horse away from you and have them travel in between you and the fence. You can start quite a few feet away from the fence. As you and your horse get more comfortable, you can begin to narrow the gap. Start with your feet parallel to the fence. The goal is to not move your feet until the horse has passed by and has moved to the other side. Extend your direction arm and begin to drive your horse with the end of the lead rope in your other hand. As previously mentioned, this can be done with the propeller action of the lead rope or some other type of tool. Most people have a tendency to drive the hindquarters prematurely. It’s important for horses to move over and away before you start driving them forward. I will swing the rope towards their front end until they step over and then allow them to begin to walk forward. Prematurely driving your horse’s hindquarters causes them to simply keep turning and looking at you and never going anywhere. Trouble Shooting One of the most important aspects of the pass-by exercise is the horse stepping away. If the horse begins to move and just brushes right alongside you, he never really yielded to your suggestion. Your body position and the proper use of your tools become critical at this point. If you are back towards your horse’s hip you’re

in the wrong position. You need to be up at your horse’s neck and shoulder. Now, with your propeller or stick, make sure your horse steps away and creates a large area between the two of you before he starts stepping forward. With this movement you are asking the horse to yield away, just like a more dominant horse would have your horse yield out of their space. You often see this problem when people try to lunge their horse. They are attempting to drive the hindquarters before the front end moves over. The horse never really moves out and away and just continually stops to look at the
Sending my horse over an obstacle
handler. At that moment the problem is not the hindquarters. The direction and drive needs to happen at your horse’s front end. Yield the front end away and then drive the hindquarters forward. This will be a tremendous help next time you attempt to lunge your horse.
This simple exercise will prepare you and your horse to do the practical jobs that you ultimately want to accomplish. If it is difficult to send your horse between you and the fence, you will find it very difficult to send your horse up into the trailer or over an obstacle.
Keep this simple tip in mind – If your feet are going backwards, your horse is probably training you! Remember, your horse needs to step away from you and out of your space. Often, people are moving backwards in the subconscious effort to get out of their horse’s way. This will be counterproductive and your horse will not gain the respect that he should have for you and your abilities.
At the end of this maneuver you want your horse to disengage his hindquarters and face you again. If he is moving forward, his hindquarters are engaged and giving him forward momentum. If you can readily tip his hindquarters out of the way you can shut down the forward momentum. If you are driving your horse to the left with your lead rope in your left hand, you can
now reach down the lead rope with your right hand to tip the horse’s nose to you. As you tip the horse’s nose to you with your right hand, his hindquarters will yield away and he will disengage. Leading your horse from point A to point B is certainly a good and reasonable thing to do. However, if you also have the ability to send your horse, now you have more options in the many situations you and your horse will find yourselves. Good dancers certainly know how execute more than one simple dance routine. Having multiple skills will certainly enhance your horsemanship journey.

Lynn Palm
Finding a Suitable Horse By Lynn Palm
I am so excited to do this series on western dressage. I am positive this new discipline following classical dressage with a western horse is going to give the western industry its next step in developing better horsemen. Dressage promotes “Riding Well” and “Being the Rider Your Horse Deserves!” When I was young, it did not take me long
to learn that if I wanted to participate in the sport of riding, I had to learn to become a good rider. I was in the dressage saddle learning this. Learning to become a good rider was not only necessary in the dressage saddle but is required in any saddle on any breed of horse. As a young rider I felt so fortunate to learn dressage because it was a new discipline in the U.S. at the time. I recognized that I rode NO differently in the dressage saddle than I did in a western saddle or hunt saddle. I found it very interesting that the training I was learning with dressage worked on any kind of horse. Breed didn’t matter then and it doesn’t
matter now. Dressage gave me the best foundation possible as well as a solid understanding of correct fundamentals about riding. It also helped me understand correct training according to the horse’s conformation, instincts, behaviors, temperament, and personality.
Most importantly, I learned that it takes TIME to train horses naturally. The goal is to teach the horse to do tasks with manners, obedience, and willingness to perform. Learning dressage has taught me that a balanced rider, communication through the rider’s natural aids, and a balanced horse will give you willing and confident responses that will last the horse’s lifetime. The key here is that it is training with understanding, not training through submission. By using dressage principles, I have been able to achieve success as a competitor and trainer of horses for more than four decades. As a top competitor in AQHA for many years, I showed numerous horses that performed in multiple western and English events. Dressage can be done with western horses and in the western saddle. I am so excited to be a part of western dressage as it starts! I encourage you to follow their tests and levels because this will lead to a more controlled and responsive horse, whether you are on the trails or in the show ring. You may be wondering what horse is best for western dressage. If you’ve watched traditional English dressage on television or gone to an event, you have no doubt noticed that many of the horses are warmbloods. As wonderful

as those horses may be (and they are), don’t worry…you don’t need a warmblood to participate in western dressage. The beauty of this hot new discipline is that any horse and all breeds are suited for it. This includes all the stock horse breeds, such as Quarter Horses, Paints, Appaloosas, Palominos, and Buckskins. You’ll also see many “nonstock” breeds, including Morgans, Arabians, Saddlebreds, even draft

grounds and knowledge with you. You can join us at our Ocala, Florida, farm or at one of our Ride Well Clinics on our USA Tour at a location near you.
If you have an interest in western dressage, please send me a photo of you and your horse so we can put this up on our web site, QuarterHorsesInDressage.com. Despite the name, we welcome all breeds!
Meanwhile, if you have any questions or would like me to address a particular aspect of western dressage in a future training article, please feel free to email me at lsp@lynnpalm. com. I love seeing your comments or questions.
