Who is Liable in Horseback Riding Accidents?
- The rider is given faulty equipment which caused a fall.
- The rider is given a horse not suited to their skill level.
- The leader in group riding exhibiting poor control and leadership.
- Injuries that came about because of an uneven road surface.
- Motor vehicle drivers not taking sufficient precaution when driving near horses.
These are just a few examples and don’t cover all situations in which another person can be liable. Proving liability can be tricky. For example, under Arizona law, a horse owner is not liable for supplying the rider with an inadequate mount if they did so based on the rider’s self-description of their ability to ride.
Owners of stables, rodeo grounds, or private property with horses are also generally not liable for injuries, regardless of whether the rider had the owner’s permission or not. However, the owner is expected to attend to hazardous conditions on the property immediately. If they fail to do so and someone is injured or killed as a result, they can be liable for those injuries.
