"I did equine related litigation for many years"

Seriously, I have never heard of this specialty and I'm no city slicker. Well - I wasn't when I was a kid growing up in very rural Maine. Is such litigation very common? I would have thought a legal expertise which concentrated on farm / ranch animals would be common but one just for horses really fascinates me.
I was never much for horses having greatly preferred bovine. A neighbor raised Belted Galloways and they were very gentle and I grew up working with dairy cows every summer. Wonderful animals!

Not only is there a specialty in equine litigation, but there's also a full time specialty just in doing the legal work to syndicate stallions!

It helps if you're in horse country. Of course, the big horse lawyering area is Kentucky (and I used to consult with a Kentucky attorney when I had a big case) but there was plenty of horse-related stuff in Georgia. Still is, so far as I know.

Forgot to comment on the cows! < MOO! >

I worked one summer on a dairy farm, another on a cattle ranch. The whole idea with the beef cattle was to leave them alone to graze and get fat, so I didn't have much contact with them, I just rode and mended fence on a cute little QH roping horse (who got a snaffle bit and dressage training that summer - even though the cowboys laughed at me!) But I did not like the Holstein dairy cows and they did not like me . . . they struck me as both malevolent and stupid. OTOH, I loved the Jerseys, they were very sweet tempered and affectionate and we got along just fine. I never did work with Galloways - aren't they a Lowland Scots breed?
