Neither Labor Law nor Civil Law has yet drawn the legal consequences of the existence of labor relations that unite animals and man. There are no rules protecting animals at work, while their participation in multiple human activities is unequivocal. The use of horses in sports and tourism generates wealth, while the services they provide save or improve lives. While it is easy to "work with animals", it is true that it is never explicitly recognized that animals "work with people". Why? Because animals are subject to the legal regime of property. The case of an animal as versatile as the horse leads us to believe that after having inspired numerous animal protection laws, his participation in society through work could be the first to be recognized. A service provider, transporter, plow, therapist, athlete... he has many roles and is recruited according to his personal skills and physical, intellectual or emotional abilities that make him unique. The social fact that animal labor represents prompts us to claim the specific protection of animals in this context, in light of the emergence of their fundamental right to welfare and, therefore, not to be mistreated.
