We can all remember the day we first fell in love with horses, whether we were born into it or not and deciding from then on, we wanted to pursue a career and life in the industry forever. That love may help to keep us involved, but we also understand that life doesn't also play a fair hand just because of that love and passion.
That is why it is important to do your homework to prepare yourselves for when life doesn't go so smoothly. That is where a good lawyer who specializes in equine can be very helpful in the process. Now I know what you're thinking, lawyers are expensive, but it's far cheaper to work with a lawyer to set up your contracts and help you on the front end than end up paying even higher court fees when things go south.
On this week's episode, I am talking about just that with Polly Hey of Hey & Hey Attorneys
based in California. Polly has been managing and running her practice for 20 years now and is licensed in California and Tennessee.
We discuss several different topics in this episode from horse sales and operating a business to current topics that could affect the equine industry in the future. There are even some comparisons in this episode that I think collaborate very well with the previous episode with Cassidy Carpenter.
Polly's passion and knowledge for helping her clients and horse people everywhere really shines through in this episode. As a horse owner herself and someone who has grown up in this industry she truly understands what other owners need to know so they can enjoy their horses. Hopefully, one day the days of shady, handshake deals over horses are gone forever as more people understand the power they have in walking away or trusting their gut.
If you want more fascinating insights from Polly, you can purchase her book "Blue Ribbon Law from Amazon or at the link in the show notes.
