Wow Ryan, that is a terrifying story. I am so glad that you and the "little one" are unhurt.

I'm not an attorney but given that the horses had escaped the fenced in area three times in the recent past, and that the property boarders a busy road, I would imagine that the neighbors that owned the horses are looking at some significant liability.

I've haven't thought of this in a few years but when I was 19 I worked in a grocery store in a rural area of San Diego. One of the guys I worked with (he was on the same night stocking crew as me) didn't show up one night for work. We called his house, no answer (long before cell phones). We found out the next day (photo in the newspaper) that on his way to work he hit a horse. He was driving one of the original (very small) Honda Civics. The horse came through the windshield and killed him.

As I mentioned before my wife was injured a little over a year ago in a car accident. An inattentive young driver changed our lives in an instant.

Your story should be a reminder to us all to count your blessings and take the time to enjoy your life and your loved ones.
