Page 5: Equestes Digital Brochure

When unexpected problems arise

after the purchase or sale of a

horse, and the parties involved, i.e.

the seller, buyer and veterinarians,

don’t have a written agreement to

fall back on, not only will they be

unable to effectively communicate,

they are not aware of their

veterinary and legal position.

A veterinary diagnosis can be

interpreted in several different

ways. Conclusions are therefore not

always clear and unambiguous. The

rights and duties of the buyer and

seller are also not always obvious in

international deals. If the contracting

parties have failed to draw up any

kind of agreement in writing, - laying

down aspects such as applicable

law, which court has jurisdiction and

a binding veterinary expert opinion

– then they will become involved in

legal procedures which, apart from

the fact that they will take years and

a great deal of expense to resolve,

will have no definite outcome. In

the meantime, the horse involved

will most likely be neglected when

it comes to proper training, care and

sufficient treatment.

Equestes© may also be appointed as

an expert at the request of courts,

mediators and arbitration institutes.

Equestes wants to emphasize that it

will not act as an advisory party or

expert at the request of individual

parties. Equestes© reviews, collects

and expands its veterinary and legal

knowledge on a continuous basis.

Why Equestes©?Equestrian sports are undergoing

tremendous growth and

development and are now taking

their participants across the

borders on an increasing basis.

It is a fact that protocols and

examination standards are mostly

specific to countries, especially

those relating to veterinary exams

for the sale and purchase of sport

horses. There are no written

agreements for the majority

of transactions, nor are there

internationally coordinated

exam protocols.

Equestes© is an institute that combines knowledge and experience in the international

interfaces of the veterinary and legal equestrian sports world.

3. equestes© mediation

Page 7: Equestes Digital Brochure

4. equestes© mediation

The mediators who may be contracted via Equestes© are veterinarians and yet also

experienced litigation lawyers who operate fully independently of Equestes©. These

mediators are also obliged to comply with the Equestes© Code of Conduct.

All of these mediators have extensive experience in the equestrian field. In the event of

a dispute involving veterinary matters, it is of course advisable to also request an expert

opinion from the Equestes© Expert Panel during mediation.

For further information and mediation contracts, please visit

www.equestes.com.

Equestes© Mediation.Equestes© now offers

mediation services,

on a national and

international level.

Nearly everyone who has ever been involved in unforeseen civil legal proceedings in which the

litigating parties had a difference of opinion involving a certain horse are unanimous that these types of proceedings cost so much time and money (stables fees to board the horse, attorney’s fees, court costs, etc.) that the old adage ‘Go to law for a sheep and lose a cow’ still applies.

Page 8: Equestes Digital Brochure

5. equestes© expert Panel

Page 9: Equestes Digital Brochure

The members of the Equestes©

Expert Panel have entered into

a contractual relationship with

Equestes© either as a third party

providing binding opinions, or

in the capacity of a legal expert

in the event their independent

and professional expert opinion

is requested by the parties to an

agreement, judicial institutions and

by mediation parties, for example.

The members of the Equestes©

Expert Panel have committed

to abide by a Equestes© Code of

Conduct in order to guarantee their

independence, among other reasons.

Specifically because the members

of the Equestes© Expert Panel

do not practice their professions

exclusively in the Netherlands, but

also in Germany, England, Belgium,

the U.S. and so forth, they are able to

provide an added guarantee of their

independent status in international

disputes between parties.

Take the following case as an

illustration: the buyer of an exclusive

and expensive sport horse lives in

America yet the contract of sale is

to be concluded in Germany, since

this is where the seller lives. In the

unexpected event of a dispute, the

American buyer will have more trust

in an international expert opinion,

binding opinion or mediation

handled by internationally appointed

experts, advisers and/or mediators

than he would if those presiding

over the dispute and the veterinarian

providing the expert opinion all

resided in Germany.

For further information about the

Equestes© Expert Panel read the

Equestes© Procedural Rules.

the current composition of the

Expert Panel, the CVs of the panel

members and the terms and

conditions under which Equestes©

expert opinions and binding

opinions are provided.

Code of Conduct on this site.

The Expert Panel consists of attorneys and veterinarians who possess extensive

experience in their professional fields with respect to international equestrian sports.
