§ 183.356. Responsibility of a veterinarian.

Notes of Decisions

   Although Commission erroneously discussed Petitioner’s liability in terms of being a trainer rather than horse owner or veterinarian, Petitioner was still liable as the person having control of the horse, 58 Pa. Code §  183.352(b), and under the standards for a veterinarian, 58 Pa. Code §  183.356 or a licensed owner, 58 Pa. Code §  183.268. Reichard v. Harness Racing Commission, 499 A.2d 727 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1985).
