Georgia requires that a sign such as this be posted, so we have two of them - one on the barn and one at the entrance to the riding ring. Our insurance company also required the signs to be posted, that I take pictures proving that they were up, and e-mailed them to the insurance company for them to have on file. Is it a bit extreme? Maybe so, but people these days are lawsuit happy. Better safe than sorry.

That's the ideal situation. We have to have the signs here in Kansas.
We don't allow others to ride our horses beyond a "I hold the lead rope" pony ride. Its doubtful anyone is going to get hurt beyond us. Guess I could sue my husband

It is not ideal.

It is far better to have a limited liability statue that we do not have here.

In NY if you let someone any where near your horse and they get hurt the horse owner/land owner/barn owner are all responsible, not the person riding. The limited liability laws basically say that anyone who partakes in riding realizes it is dangerous and there is a chance of injury so they can not sue when Dobbin steps on their toes.

I'm sorry I misread that, I thought you said there was a law not there was no law. Ideally the law should cover you with or without the sign. In Kansas the sign must be displayed for the law to be upheld.
