Liability for animals in the stable

Questioner

I am stabled with my horse at a livery stable/riding school. There is also a stallion stabled here. He is in the first box so everyone has to walk past him. By the way, the box is not completely closed off. Now it is the case that there are also children between 8 and 14 years old stabled in this stable with their mare ponies. Suppose the stallion breaks out one day. (He has already partly loosened the front panel by his pounding on it when horses walk by) Who is then responsible if something happens to the horses or in the worst case to the children?

Lawyer

The owner of the animal is liable for the consequences that an animal can cause. My advice is that you hang up a sign that people should watch out for the actions of the horse. That they should not come too close to the horse.
