New Ridecampers,
Three years ago, we had a brisk discussion on
Equine Liability Statutes. I tried to evaluate the various states' laws
and their effect on our sport.
At that time, I tried to explain that many people
were being forced to participate in suits by their own insurance companies
because of what are referred to as subrogation rights. I am not going to
rehash the detailed legal analysis done in those posts (nor do I want to get
into the event that gave rise to the posts in the first place) but for those
newbies who are interested in learning more about these issues, go to Ridecamp
Archives under author name and starting date and read these posts in order
for a quick cram course on liability.
These posts started September 21, 1999 and ran for
several weeks:
