This is probably exactly why my mom was anal about me and my friends around horses... even though out of all of the horses me and my friends had, mine was the safest.
I am 26 now and when I walk behind one of MY horses that she doesn't know well she tells me to be careful lol.
I feel bad for the little boy, and all involved. Even though he was in the wrong, and may not have known better... getting kicked in the face is a hard lesson learned. Prayers everything works out and he is ok. |

Location: Texas | Red Raider - 2013-11-19 8:35 PM Because each state has different laws and cases interpreting those laws, I'm not going to give a comment on this one concerning the legal aspects of the question. I do agree on consulting your homeowner's policy as that might point you in some direction. There's just too many facts and different laws that are state-specific for me to offer anything advice-wise on this right now.
I think cinch lives in Texas, Red Raider.
Hoping she will check in and update us on how the little guy is doing.

This is one of my worst fears. I'm so sorry this happened to you and many prayers the boy will be ok. A few years ago I got a Equine Law sign that I hang in a very visible spot on the front of my horse barn. I don't know if it helps but it sure as heck can't hurt.
THESE SIGNS CAN BE THE BEST MONEY YOU EVER SPEND!! |

Location: Texas!!! | . I'm so sorry that happened. I'm also anal about people around the horses. One of the reasons we no longer board. I will put this little one in my prayers. That being said things like this make me want to punch the kids mother. I can't tell you how many times people show up with kids, dog on leash for a trip to the country and let them run wild. Drives me crazy. It's like they don't realize the danger. I understand how quick kids are, how they are like little ninjas and sometimes no matter how diligent you are things happen. Sorry to rant this is one of my greatest pet peeves. I have seen a child kicked in the head once, he was alright but it was nothing I ever want to see again. |

| I made it to the hospital. They are having to put him to sleep to put in sutures because he won't stay still enough. He has a cracked bone in his jaw but the bones are lined up and shouldn't be a problem. Mom seems to know it was his fault and brought up something I didn't think of. He was wearing some kind of novelty hat that looked like a lion and had fuzzy fringe that flopped around as he ran. Looks like we'll be here all night. |

Oh, no...gosh I hate to hear that. I hope everything heals quickly for the little boy. Would be smart to make your calls is the morning anyway because perspectives change when bills start coming in the mail. Tragic situation & hopefully no complications (of ANY kind) present themselves. Praying for a good report. |

I thought she did too -- maybe she will read this and let me know if she does. This area of law is very much dependent on what each state specifically says is their law versus another state's law so that's why I can't just say yes or no to the question. If she does live in Texas, I would be happy to basically do the finepoint research on this topic for her for free and then she wouldn't have to call another attorney unless she just wanted to. |

| Prayers for all. I live in Texas and it is my understanding that the insurance company can sue whether the parents want to or not. When ever my kids went to the ER we always received a form to fill out asking for details of the accident. RR will know for sure. My daughter was in an auto accident and the other party sued. It was all handled by St. Farm, we never knew till it was settled. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Every time I've had an accident, my health insurance asked for details like where it happened, who owned the horse, etc. They're going to look for ways to make someone else pay whether the injured person wants them to or not. |

Location: Charlestown, IN | I don't know the laws for each state, but I can give you a similar experience. When I was little, we had a stud. This stud was very well mannered. Some "friends" showed up as yours did, unannounced while we were doing barn chores. They were aware the horse was a stallion. He had a special stall door even with bars all the way to the top. Their little brat kept going over teasing him with bits of hay and stuff. She would hold it out and then not give it to him. She went over several times until he had had enough. He reached thru the bars and bit her on the face. This resulted in a lawsuit. We won. We were not liable because the child was teasing the horse. He didn't just act out because he was a mean or dangerous horse. Anyway, I would think that since the boy and the dog were running behind her that you aren't liable either. Maybe the dog is what scared her. Maybe just the fact that he was chasing her scared her. Walking behind one and running behind one are two totally different cases, at least around my place they are.. My horses would probably kick up or out at me if I were running behind them. Prayers everything turns out ok for both of you. |

| I hope the kid is OK, but I also hope this taught him a lesson. Sorry, maybe that's terribly mean of me this morning, but I'm not in the mood to feel sorry for the little brat when he was probably told to stay away from the horses. |

I'm on this bus with you.
My Dad has a girlfriend, and her daughter's kids always want to come over to see my horses. They are brats and they don't listen. They are 2 and 8. I told my Dad NO, they cannot come over. Don't bring those kids near my horses. If something ever happened, I know they would point fingers at me.
I hope everything is OK for you, OP. Keep us updated. |
