Attention All Horsemen
The 5th circuit Court of Appeals granted an administrative stay of enforcement of a preliminary injunction entered against the HISA Authority late last week.
This stay means HISA rules are in effect pending a 5th circuit decision, which will replace the administrative decision. We are hopeful that the decision will be expedited.
