This has nothing to do with the old west. This was a dressage class. <br /><br />It also seems you missed the main point. It's called personal responsibility. She could have refused to participate. No one can make you ride a horse.

Most likely due to safety reasons. hence the unfortunate accident that occurred here. There was trust involved and it was broken. The instructor should not have given authorization for this and should have kept safety first, not amusement.

She completed the exercise and was told she could stop. The horse bolts and she falls off. How is that anyone fault? It was an accident! Her coach is at fault because she tried to make the lesson fun? I'm sure her coach has taken more than a few falls in her career. She doesn't know a single joke? Maybe she can enroll in clown college next. Oh wait getting crammed into the little car with her classmates would be a sexual harassment lawsuit in the making. Sounds like she might need some more equestrian classes, since horseback riding is dangerous! <br /><br />This is why we need repercussions for frivolous lawsuits.

Then the horse takes off. How is this a lawsuit? It was her coaches fault because she was trying to make it fun? She doesn't know a joke? She could have not gotten on a horse and then it would have been prevented! I hope she didn't earn a degree since she can't figured out that horseback riding is dangerous.<br /><br />There is a real need for penalties for these frivolous lawsuit that are filed everyday.Jon Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021019458635457466noreply@blogger.com
