Something you don't want to see

I know only 1 horse did the damage, but it got out from from a livery yard. Surely when you pay your rent, it includes fencing? Ive never had to pay additionally for fencing? If its broken/damaged it gets fixed by the YO (livery's do help)

If its not upto scratch (which then allowed for the damage to happen) its the YO who should sort the bill.

Yes, of course. But the owner of the horse is legally liable for the damage that the horse did.

On the other hand....if you keep your horse at a yard where the fencing is poor...but you stay there and accept the risk....then there is another interesting legal point.
