You are visiting a cattle ranch! It’s supposed to be a great day, and you bring your best friend. The ranch has several animals. You don’t expect what happens next when you hear a horse squeal in pain. Things are about to change when your dog bites a horse.

The Scenario

Sandra has traveled to the country to visit a ranch to buy milk directly from the rancher. Meanwhile, she has brought her dog along for the ride. Sandra takes her prized dog, Pixie, with her. Her dog is very vocal and energetic. Therefore, as Sandra waits to purchase the milk, Pixie escapes. There is a horse stable nearby. Unfortunately, Pixie stumbles into the horse, causing the animal to jump off its hind legs. Pixie bites the horse as it tries to step on her. Now, Sandra is in trouble as she has to deal with the consequences of her dog attacking a horse.

The Claim

Now, his horse has suffered an injury thanks to Pixie, which will delay him by days. The rancher has pressed charges against Sandra, alleging recklessness. She claimed that the horse attempted to kick her dog. Regardless, she was on his land, and her dog attacked the horse first.

Takeaways

This scenario could happen as people visit ranches to buy milk, honey, and other nutrients and often have their dogs with them. Therefore, Sandra should have taken extra precautions, especially when mixing her dog with other animals on the ranch. It was a preventable indecent. Now, she is on the hook after her dog bites a horse..
