EQUINE PARTNERSHIPS: Traps for the Unwary
 by: Rachel Kosmal-McCart, Equine Legal Solutions
Partnerships and the
Horse Industry
Many horse industry relationships are actually partnerships, whether the parties realize it or not. In the 49 states that have adopted the Uniform Partnership Act ("UPA"), two or more parties' intention to carry on a business together for profit is sufficient to create a "partnership." Note that this is true regardless of whether the business actually makes a profit, and regardless of whether the parties have anything in writing memorializing their arrangement. In the absence of a more formal structure, such as a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, the following situations would likely be deemed a partnership. (More) |

THE SCOOP FROM C  by: Betsy K. Berrey
An Overview of the New 2007 USEF Dressage Tests
Every four years our National Dressage Tests change. In my many years as a competitor and judge I've been through at least six of these rotations. Sometimes the tests get longer and harder, other times they become a little shorter and easier. The 2007 tests are among the best we've ever had. They are both more rider friendly and more judge friendly than the previous set.
These 18 tests were created with ideas and suggestions from the USDF Test Writing Committee, gathered while I was its Chairman. We spoke with riders, trainers and judges about what worked and what didn't in the 2003 tests. Our ideas were then shared with The USEF Test Writing Committee which is composed of many of our top FEI judges. Their experience and expertise shaped the final products which are very good indeed.(more) |
