At Wise Covington, we don’t just understand the equestrian industry, we’ve lived it. As transactional attorneys and lifelong horsewomen, we know the realities behind the handshake deals, the unspoken expectations, and the complex relationships that drive this world. We’ve seen firsthand how much is at stake when agreements are made in good faith but not in writing.

Our philosophy is simple: contracts first, handshakes second. In an industry built on trust, the best way to preserve that trust is through clarity, structure, and sound legal protection.

We bring a rare combination of legal precision and insider perspective. We’ve been owners, leasers, competitors, startup founders, and early equestrian influencers, thus giving us an understanding of both the business and the barn aisle. As one of the first high-profile equestrian influencers, our direct experience collaborating with numerous brands and marketing teams provides unique insight into sponsorships, brand deals, and influencer contracts - experience that now shapes the counsel we deliver to our clients.

Beyond our legal practice, we’ve founded and scaled an equestrian startup that achieved international product sales and a licensing partnership with one of the largest East Coast distributors. That journey gives us a consulting edge and helps our clients not only structure deals but also think strategically about growth, partnerships, and brand longevity.

Our network within the equestrian community runs deep, spanning trainers, show barns, small business owners, and marketing professionals. This allows us to offer counsel that’s not just compliant, but commercially smart - helping our clients move forward with confidence in and out of the ring.

At Wise Covington, our goal is to bring stability, protection, and sophistication to an industry we love - ensuring that every deal, every handshake, and every partnership is truly legally sound and financially stable.
