Rider injured after dogs spook horse wins £500k

Court judgment has important implications for responsibilities of dog walkers exercising animals in public

www.telegraph.co.uk

Think this might be behind a pay wall but a rider in Surrey got £500k compensation after an awful fall when loose dogs spooked her horse. I'm going to try and find a freebie article to share locally as dogs on our bridlepaths are a bit of an issue now - off leads & no recall.

Not behind a paywall, at least I could read it. What a horrible situation for the rider.

Reading some the comments left, wow. The nerve of someone to be riding a horse on a bridlepath!

'Ms Worth’s solicitors had argued that Ms Smith was partly to blame for the accident, saying she had failed to control her horse, which was ‘pawing’ the ground and snorting.'



'negligently fell off the horse'



One could do one's self an eye injury reading that tosh.

The fact they tried to use the argument that she shouldn't have been riding on a bridleway where dogs are walked says it all!
