OE Stable Program - Expert Webinars - Boarding Agreements, Waivers & other legal protections for Stable Managers
Catherine Willson, True Law

Are your boarding agreements and waivers protecting your stable—or leaving you exposed?
Join Catherine Willson, equine lawyer and founder of True Law Legal Services and author of the recently published “Canadian Equine Law,” a must-read guide for equestrians across the country, for a 90-minute in-depth webinar focused on the legal essentials every stable manager should have in place.
This session will provide a clear, practical overview of the documents and practices that protect your business, your clients, and your horses. Catherine will walk you through what these documents should include, how to use them effectively, and common pitfalls to avoid.
Bring your documents and your questions—there will be a dedicated Q&A at the end of the session.
Topics Include:
- Responsibility of Horse Owner and Lessee in Lease Agreements
- The role of waivers and liability releases—and their enforceability in Ontario
- Common legal mistakes made by stable owners in leases and waivers and how to avoid them
- What to include in agreements, waivers and releases to reduce risk and increase clarity
Whether you’re creating documents from scratch or reviewing existing ones, this webinar is essential for stable managers looking to operate with confidence and legal protection.
This session is FREE for OE Stable Program Members.
