Take a ride on the humorous side for some serious legal lessons!

Trail riding is best when shared with friends. Sometimes, our desire to get moving can cause us to make hasty decisions that can lead to unintended consequences. Author (and lawyer) Daniel Rosenfield takes us on a ride on the humorous side with "Polly Anna" and her friend, "Ima Hurtin", to explore just how wrong things can go. Read Daniel's story on his blog, and visit his website for more information about how his equine legal services can assist you in your personal and professional horse life.
