sueing riding schools

[lizzieshimmer]

just wondered how many other people at riding schools are finding they have had claims made against them,. and how they have turned out. we at current have 4!all of which are pathetic and should not be happening. but really need support as its getting me down
thanks

if they can't prove negligence you're going to be Ok. Just don't let your insurance company pay out to shut them up - it just means your insurance premium will go up.

dont worry too much, if they cant prove negligence they are fine

Our riding school had someoen try and claim because there daughter fell off when a pony refused a jump!! the reason he refused was because she pulled back just before the jump!

Nothing happened of this I hope everything works out

It sickens me to see how often people are sueing riding schools and livery yards these days when accidents occur.
I can remember being thrown off ponies, getting bolted with and all kinds when I was learning to ride, but that was the risk you took back then, nothing was said.
These law firms are making it far too easy for people to do this. The only thing that I am glad to see is the dodgy dealers who give false info on their horses, are getting their just desserts. My YO is so cautious now about who is on our yard and safety etc. Is ruling her life.x

i worked in a riding school years ago and a middle aged man fell off at M and died!, these days no doubt we'd have been sued too...
