It sounds like an unfortunate incident that could have been prevented if all parties had used a little common sense. Dog owner should have put his dog on a lead until the horses had moved away, the ride leader should have observed loose dog and not led a canter until there was sufficient distance between them and the loose dog, or dog was on a lead. I don’t agree with suing either the dog owner or the stables as riding horses carries a substantial risk that most who climb aboard are well aware of. The outcome of the case will be interesting.
