(The best thing I've read on here in days!)

I do wish you'd just been honest in the first post, but saying that, my gelding mentioned in my last post also has been in mixed herds all his life (he's 27) and has mounted two mares in all that time. One was dangerous and incited everything with a penis. That was the one I removed my gelding from (moved yards, as YM was not willing to remove her). I would just tell her to foxtrot oscar...My gelding did cause the injury, there is no photo evidence but it was seen by myself and others. My gelding was removed instantly and the mare was seen by a vet right away. My gelding is an old boy and had lived happily in a mixed herd his entire life, but for some reason this mare changed things. I am sorry the mare was hurt but at the same time she was egging him on. The fact the mare was back out with herd within an hour and the owner swanned off on holiday shows how minor the damage was.
Unfortunalty I am not a member of BHS so wouldn’t be able to seek their legal advice. Would citizens advice perhaps be a place to start?
I could hit myself, I allow myself to be bullied down and suffer for simply being too nice, I should never have said yes but as I did I know she will use that against me and being the type of person she is I know she won’t stop.
I simply want to enjoy my hobby, what bigger gift could I give her than removing him from the yard entirely.
Sometimes I despise the horse world and the crazies that dwell in it.
I was out a ride with my friend last year and one of my mares ran up the back of hers and sliced her mares leg open quite badly. I gave her some cash towards the vet bill because i'm nice and wanted to help her. If it was an incident whilst turned out I would not have helped, i only helped because i was riding my mare at the time.
If I was riding my horse and arse ended someone else causing damage I would pay. I would either have been negligent (not looking where I was going?) or not competent to do what I was doing (not in control of the horse). Either way, unless the horse in front stopped suddenly and slammed into reverse, I would say the vet bill would be paid by the person who caused the accident.
There's more to it than just saying I was negligent. What i gave was a brief run down of what happened. I'm not saying I personally was blameless, but, when you have hundreds of horses riding 2 abreast along a narrow track and the front horses are going from walk to canter and back constantly it's quite understandable why my mare got confused and managed to get away from me.
This was going to be my question! Can’t be that much?How much is half the excess?
I feel so incredibly drained from the situation. I just can’t figure out where the liability lies.
I have joined the BHS to seek legal advice but havnt yet managed to speak to anyone.
There must be equine legislation for these instances but I have been unsuccessful finding any information.
In all my years of owning horses I have never heard of such a situation. I pity anyone who is unlucky enough to have a run in with this person.
I think it is different when your horse is the injured party. It may not be common but the matter of fact is the livery agreed to share the excess, later messaged to say she changed her mind and didn’t want to contribute then after more convincing she agreed to pay again. I have this all on WhatsApp so it is in writing.
I am considering raising this with the small claims court because this is in writing on WhatsApp. Because it is in writing I can’t see how I can’t win the case.

I believe I have a good case and want to take this further on the condition I am likely to win.
