- The plaintiff says she was transporting a horse for the defendant, but the animal kicked her so hard she had to go to the hospital and eventually a hand specialist. She claims the horse has a history of kicking, so she’s suing for medical bills. The defendant says he sold his gentle horse to a woman and the plaintiff was transporting for her, not him. He says his sweet horse has never kicked anyone, and he had her for 18 years, so the plaintiff must have done something.
Case #24-180
I'm no brain surgeon, but if a horse has little to no experience of being loaded, doesn't like to be 'lunged', and the horse doesn't know you from Adam, then I don't think it will take kindly to being hit by you from behind, the horse did what a horse does, it kicked away its aggressor, Well done to the horse...
I was thinking the same thing, good for the horse she obv whipped it you could tell by her reaction when he mentioned he has an email from the lady. She knew she was caught
I love that he took so much time to talk about the horse. He had to make sure everyone knew she is a good horse above all else.
Her face when the judge read Mary Kate accusing her of hitting the horse, explains it all. Her voice also cracked when the judge mentioned it again. She hit the horse. Plain and simple.
yes, she did hit the horse. I knew she was lying when she said , the horse kicked her in her hand . I grew up around horses, as well horse people since i was very little. Sadly, a lot of horse people aren't alright in the head . my aunt who has horses has delt with so many of these people that the stories are so crazy that it's scary.
But that is hearsay… She said she’s not here I can’t ask her why she would say something like that. Which is why that shouldn’t have even been admissible in this case. Because she couldn’t cross examine her accuser.
@@roxyzeve but really if the horse is at the long end of a rope, that kick couldn’t have happened and injured her hand. It’s clear she’s lying.
@@roxyzeve When she asked the plantiff about it, the plantiffs face gave her away. This is civil court. First off by your logic the messages between plantiff and Mary Kate should not have been used as evidence as well. Mary Kate is not the one being sued. However, it doesnt matter because its not relevant to the case for several reasons. One he had sold the horse to someone else and two he did nothing wrong.
The horse snap and got revenge. End of story.
The way the judge looked at her after reading Mary Kate's email took me out 😹😹😹😹
I believe she wasn’t at the end of the lunge line, I believe she was close to the rear of the horse, hit the horse and the horse kicked her. If the horse was a kicker the horse would have kicked at some point when she first tried to load the horse.
Yup! That's the only thing that makes sense vis a vis her proximity to the horse. Not her "I don't know why it was o close. It stepped or something".
Agree
Good point!
I think she got frustrated with the horse not loading so she thought she'd lunge her. She got more frustrated when the horse wouldn't lunge properly and I think she came in closer around the hind quarters to try to get her to move forward by either swinging the end of the lunge rope at her or whipping her with it. Never pressure a horse like that or back it into a corner where it feels it has no other escape than to go through you. However it happened it was her fault
Agree! I’m a horse trainer and know that it’s never the horse’s fault (because, if not for humans, the horses would be living on open ranges, far away from kicking humans 😜)
I was confused at why she couldn't explain how the horse kicked her from the far end of the lead, her approaching the horse to whip it makes sense.
Excellent point.
The horse plants front feet to swing the butt at her and then kicks. She can reach her then seen it happen before but that only reason she kicks is because she pushing the horse too much and the horse kicked to tell her hey your being a butt stop!!
She was definitely using the end of that lunge line as a whip. That’s why the horse could reach her
Exactly!!! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that!
Well if the plaintiff doesn't know how to handle horses, she's in the wrong business!
The judge made the right decision. The plaintiff went against all of the advice from the defendant and I believe that whe whipped the horse with the lunge line. Also, the defendant didn't own the horse at the time.
I love this man. He’s so sweet and obviously loves his animals.
It really bugs me the plaintiff called him a liar.
He wanted to tell the story about the horse so badly…(to redeem the horse’s behavior) obviously not enough time….seemed he was ready to shed some tears when he was cut off.
Then I wonder why he was selling her? After 18 years??
@@melissaomalia9870 My guess…because he’s old.
@@melissaomalia9870 He's getting too old to care of them. Horses are A LOT of work. I bet he is heart broken over letting go of his Tessie.
I absolutely believe the plaintiff provoked that horse into kicking her. She was having a hard time loading the horse and so she hit it. The horse responded in kind. I say good for the horse. 🐎
Huh??? Wow. Is this an animal abuse case?? Sidebar: its amazing how some people value animal life OVER humans.
I mean....I don't think Sunday was valuing animal life over humans. Rather: if you hit something, expect to get hit back 🤷♀️
Most people or animals will bite or hit back if they've been hit. Nothing about it being an animal abuse case lol Simply that it's not the animals fault if you're provoking it and ignoring warning signs 🤷♀️
@@BeginAgainMC And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Humans are vile beings. Besides, humans are technically animals too, therefore is it really choosing an animal over another animal?
Exactly!
@@BeginAgainMC What makes human life more valuable? Everything wants to live and everything hates being abused.
I can tell how the plaintiff's voice was wavering from the beginning that she did something to make that horse kick.
I thought so too
"He's a liar!"
"What did he lie about?"
"Lots of things."
Its good she could be so specific. Seriously, that right there makes it where no one believes her. You cant just say someone is a liar and when they ask for specifics you try to go with the vague terms "everything" or "lots of things"
I find she should have leave the horse. Clearly that horse didn't want to go
I caught that as well. I would have asked her specifically what did he lie about tell me one thing. Because she would not have been able to. SMH!
glad you caught that too, “he’s a liar” what did he lie about “i’m not sure what he lied about” like whatttt
She thought she was well trained enough, powerful enough, and in control enough to *force* the horse to do as it’s told. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Sadly it’s not uncommon for horse trainers to be extremely rough and aggressive with the animals. Seems like that’s what’s happening here
Agreed....
Well I don't think they were rough, or agressive, it's when u need to be, they need to be assertive or a horse becomes unable to be worked with.
@@stevidegner5975 one persons “assertive” is another’s aggressive/rough. With the proper patience, knowledge, and understanding, a heavy hand is not needed.
I tend to think it was a horse in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable situation, despite her using a normal lunge technique (I am a horse trainer).
But I do agree a lot of people are too harsh on these gentle creatures.
Not all
Her hitting the horse is the only thing that makes sense about why it was so close to her when it kicked.
You can’t get side kicked at the end of a lunge line!
Agree 100%
As soon as Mary Kate said, "she hit her with the lungeline", I knew immediately that she couldn't have been at the end of it, more likely somewhere in the middle, with enough in her other hand, to reach Tess's hind quarter. I'm glad the Judge worked that out despite not knowing much about horses. This woman made a fatal flaw, over confidence, and unfortunately it cost her. BTW that owner was lovely, you could tell he loved Tess.
As someone currently writing a paper on elephants. Historically elephants that were pushed over the edge by mishandling were deemed "bad." RIP Topsy, Black Diamond, Tyke, and many others.
Her consistent usage of referring to the horse as "naughty" as though the horse is inherently bad makes me angry.
The plaintiff was given fair amount of warning about this horse. It was her decisions that caused the kick. I don’t believe she’s as experienced as she claims to be. I believe she lost patience with the horse and made a careless mistake. It’s no one’s fault but her own and is just the risk of the business. Sedation should have been suggested from the beginning if it helped so much the second time. Why cause a horse so much stress when their known for not handling it well.
Can I just say I absolutely loved the defendant and I would love for him to be my pap! I miss mine so much and he just is a sweet old farmer and he wasn't a liar we all could see thst along with JM!!
Any horse or pony can kick. You are responsible for minimizing your own risk. HOrses kicking each other has nothing to do with kicking a person. Even the gentlest horse is capable of causing grievous injury if it kicks you for whatever reason. Whipping the hindquarters is a good stimulus for a kick. She lost because the judgement was correct.
Thank you!!! This summarizes everything!
Can somebody bump this comment to the top. And lock it?
The plaintiff just defamed the defendant on camera, calling him a liar, yet it was Mary-Kate's testimony (at 10:30) that lost her the case, because she witnessed the plaintiff whipping the horse...
Can we please let Douglas the bailiff talk. Like the faces he be making cracks me up. He gotta have some jokes
I still love him 💘
Bribing a horse with treats is almost the best way to get the horse in a trailer. Clearly she was trying to hard in the forceful way. Horses don't do well under pressure.
exactly some fava beans and a nice chianti is always the way
horses are fine under pressure and the theory of make the right thing easy - make the wrong thing hard is valid in horse training. The execution was off. This chick does not deal with problem horses.
@@angellarussell196 and this was obviously a problem horse because she has been exposed on social media. This horse has two misdemeanor convictions for assault having stepped on a cats tail and urinating in a stall not hers, one felony assault for biting a postal worker and she is currently up on charges for bucking under the influence.
Not wanting to be trailered does not make a problem horse.
@@Channel-JJ Nope. Fabulous sweet and well trained horses can have problems being loaded as well.
The horse is a problem loader. A handler or trainer with the skills to handle a problem horse will have no trouble with a problem loader.
@@angellarussell196 you realize the first part of my comment was sarcasm right? My last sentence which is not sarcasm is exactly what you're saying.
So far all I have listened to is the intro. I'll tell you right now, it is never the horse's fault. A person that knows horses knows how to watch for signals. A horse never kicks or bites without a warning first. Sometimes it's lightening fast between the warning and strike, but it's there. You never rush a horse into a trailer or out of a trailer. I'll stop now and watch the video.
She doesn't know the proper way to lunge a horse. To say the horse wouldn't lunge isn't really correct. You can teach a horse to lunge or work in a round pen. The slow way is the best way when working with horses.
Maybe minis are different? My mini would sneak up and nip me after I bring her home from a walk if we didn't stay as long as she wanted. No warning or indication she was upset until she nipped my leg.
Absolutely right!
@@trulyjupiter and it doesn't take long with a helper to teach a horse to lunge!
That said, you have a lunge rope.... it's pretty easy to put a line around their rear....
@@aangeltx444 No mini's aren't different. They're still a horse. If you want to learn about horses, I highly suggest Warwick Schiller's videos on youtube. He is fabulous!! czcams.com/channels/413ZepFqtG6Bhb8Lv7ugFA.html
I hope the horse is having a beautiful life!
it is I saw it placing bets at the the local OTB last week. It also had a tear drop tattoo near its left eye and one on it's right rear that says "trailer bitches get stiches"
If you promote yourself as a handler of horses (any animal) then you have to be knowledgeable enough to know what behaviors you might be faced with and how to avoid them or manage them. Vets don't sue clients when they get bit. Knowing beforehand that the horse "might be difficult to load", and knowing what might be involved in getting her in, you'd charge more than $100. I was taught that when working with a horse, you stand far enough away not to be kicked, or close enough in that a kick would have no power.
Well most states have rules or laws that say a veterinarian can't sue if your dog/cats goes Kujo in the office. Lol. But veterinarians usually know when a dog, or cat, is about to go all ninja. Good owners also know. My little JRT/Chihuahua mix gets muzzled every time he goes in. I make sure of it.
I love when the judge rules and walks out leaving the losing side too stunned to speak. They’re just sitting there as their eyes follow the judge out of the courtroom with a look on their face like. “Damn, that’s it!?” 😂
SHE NEEDS HER OWN INSURANCE SHE"S SELF EMPLOYED
Six stitches? She was talking like she had to take an ambulance. Six stitches is a nasty accident as a teenager.
I think the plaintiff was lying-from the 1st words out of her mouth - she obviously didn't know what she was doing by trying to force the horse into the trailer. I think she did in fact hit the animal with the lunge cord, & the animal wasn't having it. I say good for the horse, and hopefully it will teach the plaintiff a lesson.
She looks like she’s on a TON of prescription meds lmfao she’s out of it. Just looks like the lights are on but no one is home.!
so here is my thoughts
she got frustrated the horse would not trailer.
decided to lunge , against the owners advice, then got frustrated the horse would not lunge properly (despite being told the horse does not lunge)
10/10 she was behind that horse and tagged her with the lunge line to make her run, and the horse, already have a bad day from her perspective, kicked out at this stranger who is making her life very difficult today
Lunging is not how you trailer a spicy horse. You simply keep turning them in a little circle , talking gently and keep attempting the trailer. walk inside on a long lead and show the horse you aren't getting hurt. Patience is the key here. Horses sense emotions and feed off them.
Well.. lunging can be a very effective training method for trailering. There are several reputable trainers that do that (you can find here on youtube) and the theory of making the horse work and allowing the trailer to be the easy option is used quite successfully. That being said, I don’t think this lady in any way shape or form used the method correctly. I think she was trying to force the horse to lunge and popped her on the butt and she kicked.
He is not liable for her errors, or possible inexperience. I have lunged too many horses to count, I’ve never met a horse that could reach me and kick me on the end of lunge line if you’re doing it properly.
And if a horse isn't used to lunging, don't hit it!
When your not good with horses and think you are....be careful, lol!
I think the plaintiff is lying, I grew up on a ranch where we trained horses exclusively. It is extremely common practice to use a lungline to whip a horse on the butt if they are being non compliant when lunging. That is probably exactly what she did. There there are certain safety precautions that you should take when doing this, and it sounds like she probably did not because she was over egotistical.
I bet she got close and slightly behind to try to drive the horse forward (another common practice). Even if she did that and tossed the line at the butt without hitting her to encourage her to go forward, I’ve still seen horses kick at that
Mary Kate had plenty of motive. As the old man stated, the horse legally belonged to Mary Kate at the time that the horse kicked, therefore she would be responsible for the injuries. I’m sure old dude told Mary Kate that. I bet the old dude told Mary Kate he would void the sale and refund her money if she wrote a statement for him to help him win the case.
Sounds like the plaintiff shouldn't be working with horses in my opinion!
I’ve worked with a lot of professional horse people and never once has one asked, “is she a naughty horse?” 😂
Looked like she was doing fine with that nice looking German Shepherd, just saying.
omg the announcement 😂😂 neeiiggghhh
The announcer was childish for that neigh sound 😭😭😭😭
But I was dyyyying
He does the most sometimes and I love it 😂
I thought it was funny, half expected it, so he didn't disappoint!
Even if the plantiff was right, the horse belong to the buyer at the time of kicking, so she has no standing to sue the previous owner (the defendent), right?
She reminds me of the teachers who yell loader when kids won't do as there told. She wanted a quick job & didn't listen to anyone else, including the horse. Good luck to the dog.
He cannot control the behavior of an animal. She shouldn't get a dime from him!! Whipping a horse isn't the right thing to do. If she wants to sue someone, sue the lady who hired her, technically she was working for her. When are people going to start taking responsibility for their own actions instead of it being everyone else's fault?!!
The Plaintiff is CRAZY! There's something really wrong with her. 16:32 said it all!
Best part of the whole episode is the lady outside that said "that's why I'm single" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao “neiiiigh”
“He’s a liar. I have no idea why he’s a liar.”
She literally said he’s a liar then she said he has no idea why he’s a liar. Lord help her son
Seems like a nice man. Good for the horse standing up for itself! 🐴
As a person who works with horses every day for a living and because I love it.. I’m going with she whipped the horse with the lunge line and the horse kicked her. It’s that simple. There’s no way if she was properly lunging the horse that it could kick her, I do it numerous times a day lol
I think the girl hit the horse. She assumed responsibility when she did that. If she is experienced, as she said, she should know better...the horse was protecting herself.
A horse is a horse of course of course....lol
Of course!
This lady doesn’t know what she’s doing.
Always behave like the horse will kick, ALWAYS. (I can share stories of equestrians suffering head kicks from horses they’ve had over 10+yrs)
The horse could get spooked, bitten by a large bug, have pain somewhere, long list for reasons to kick.
There’s proper ways to use a lunge whip to encourage movement - to do it hard enough to cause pain will often cause this “cow kick” and frustration.
You don’t lunge a difficult horse prior to trailer to tire; you do it as a way to say
“You have two options here - work or go in the trailer with your hay; you choose”
Your not going to out strength, out endurance a horse - it’s insane how many decide to get aggressively physical with their horse like it will effectively teach anything 😩
Horses kick. Horses bite, buck, rear, trample.
Just like dogs growl and bite.
It’s major parts of their natural communication
She wasn't 'whipping' the horse. It is normal lunge practice to use a lunge whip (like the lady in the lunge pic of the horse's sister was) to encourage the horse to stay out at the perimeter....or the tail of the lunge line to flick at the horse. It should be a mere tickle (and you can crack a lunge whip, they make a popping noise if you are experienced).
BUT.... if the horse was not lunge trained, expecting it to be docile and used to normal lunge signals is very risky. You need a helper to walk the horse or run the horse in circles, or, the guy mentioned a round yard. So just free lunge with no lunge line.
I professionally and personally trained horses for 35 years (now moved on to smaller critters).
If you advertise your services to load horses into a trailer, you should be able to achieve it.
I have loaded at least a dozen difficult horses repeatedly with no sedation and zero injuries. You bandage or boot the horses legs, and with good feed in the trailer and the lunge line to 'winch them in' like a trout with the lunge around their tail (if you are a horse person, you know what I mean), it is not difficult with a horse that is used to general handling.
He's a liar
What did he lie about?
I dont know
Great logic there lady.
I know right, even the service dog was trying to hide his face 😂
The bystanders outside are always so obtuse, it makes me wonder if they're getting all the details.
I want this old man to be my grandpa!
ALL horses can kick when stressed. That's why you're always careful with all of them.
I feel sorry for animals that have to go through this.
Why did the defendant hire the plaintiff to be around his horse after he found out she abused the animal?
EXCELLENT point. I forgot about that part 😅
He said he didn't see the kick and therefore didn't see the whip. He may have only found out afterwards that the lady saw the whip happen.
“ he’s accused of saying neighhhhhhhh 🐴 “ 😂
Idk Horses but the 2nd lady Harvey spoke to is clearly aware why she is single 😆
That horse said, ok you want to hit me B**** I'll show you something 😂😂
JM is cracking me up with her ignorance of how things work on a farm. I died when she said "karate kick" 😂😂. So silly. 🤣
ALWAYS SEDATED A HORSE THAT HAS NOT BEEN TRAILERED ALLLLLWAYYYSSSS
"..a kids and husband safe horse"........laughable.
What saddens me is the horse went to her place after she was kicked to be "trained to load". I can only imagine the abuse that was inflicted during that week.
I grew up with horses and it's just an inherent risk working with them. I don't know what state they are in but in Colorado, there is a statute that basically says this and it's at your own risk when working with large animals like horses.
Same. I worked with horses to teach them to load. A stock trailer is a good way to start as they are large and open. Smaller horse trailers are good for animals that are used to being transported as they're much tighter. This woman has no business being around horses. The first thing I always taught people is NEVER assume a horse won't kick a person.
@@julieswenson6934 Any horse will kick. 100%
@@angellarussell196 absolutely. And no animal should put up with being whipped.
@@julieswenson6934 I don't know if the horse was whipped, swatted, or simply touched with the end of the lead. Perception is in the eye of the beholder. I have no comment on that.
So much wrong with all of this.
Horses kick. Shep the riding pony kicks. Horses kick at each other - and are not usually scared of each other because of it. If two horses truly hate each other most horse owners won't pasture them together. If this chick knew about horses she would not try to equate that with "being a kicker".
Also - even kicking once doesn't necessarily make a horse a kicker. My mare side kicked at me and got me in the back when I was leading her back out to her herd. It didn't make her a kicker. It made her a diva who was allowed to get herd bound. I owned that mare for 11 years and that was the only time she kicked me or anyone else... or even threatened to do so. This was about 10 years ago.
My stallion side kicked me once when I was round penning him. I knew he was pissy - and I let him come in too close because I wasn't paying attention. He kicked once and has never kicked me or anyone else since. I've owned him now for 14 years. This was 12 years ago.
If that horse kicked her it was because she got in too close. I can't interpret "whipped" from "swatted" because I wasn't there... but it's not entirely uncommon for them to kick out like then when swatted (or whipped)... especially if they are surprised.
When you state that you are used to dealing with problem horses you are setting yourself out as an expert. If you are not that expert you are going to get hurt. This chick comes across like she read a few books and watched a few monty roberts videos and fancies herself a trainer.
Judge looks very nice today.
Hair coloring perfect.
Warning a person taht the horse kicks? ALL horses are capable of kicking when cornered, afraid, or spooked. First thing we learn in pony club is don't run behind a horse! they ALL kick. If she's an experienced horse person, she could tell from the get go that the horse was fired up from trying to be loaded, then she further aggravates and upsets the horse by longing it. If she;'s trying to hit the horse with the end of the longe line, she can't be at the end of it, she would have to be half way down. he didn't even legally own the horse when it kicked her, nor was he the one who hired her to move it in the first place. She should have tried to sue the other lady not him.
Come on 🙄 The Plaintiff is lying about whipping that horse! If that horse has never been on a trailer then wouldn’t anyone suspect that the job was going to be hard? You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink it.
Defendant rocks lol
No doubt in my mind that out of frustration this woman whipped the horse causing it to kick her.
I like how she says the man lied.
About what?
Several things.
?????
If the plaintiff is a horse professional (eg, getting paid to load and haul horses) then she should have had insurance for these instances. Secondly, I think every state has an equine liability law, where you are not allowed to sue for injuries from a horse. Unless there is gross negligence on the owner’s end. And, true horse professionals know that these are the risks that we take.
Nice job, Judge Millian!!!
At the end of the day it’s an animal. It was defending itself
I feel sorry for that kid. She's a horrible mother that's clearly not teaching good lessons. I hope he can learn from her what not to do.
All horses are kickers. This woman is a know it all that really knows nothing. She caused this kick.
After watching this case not having 'neigh' one clue about horses and then reading the comments now I'm going to have to go back and watch the case again I'm sure I'm going to have a better appreciation of how she should have handled this
How does she not know why he's a liar and that's what she's accusing him of being? And what is up with the bald dude with the kid on his shoulders behind Harvey? His faces hahaha
I'm a city guy and know nothing about caring for a horse...but I DO know you're never supposed to get behind a horse / walk behind it.( so I hear ) lol
They can kick sideways. The range is limited and it's not typically powerful - but it can happen.
I loveeee that lady's comment!!!!
I don't blame the horse I'd kick her tooo!!!lmfao---yesssssss
I’ve been injured by animals in my work and owners are shocked I keep going because that’s the job ... there’s time for first aid if you move quick :$
When dealing with animals you don't know you should never put yourself in a place to be hurt
I would NEVER spur or whip a horse... poor baby!
i diiiiied @ "he's accused of saying neiiiiiiigh"🤣
To the plaintiff you hurt that poor horse and I'm glad it kicked you! 😡😡
He didn't contract with her, the buyer did. She should have sued the buyer whom she contracted with, if anyone.
She hit that horse and it kicked her 😂😂😂that horse said you got the right one😂😂😂
You can see the defendant’s jaw literally dropping at (5:47) when she claimed he had said that something like that might happen!
Plaintiff’s a liar!!
That woman has not got a CLUE about animal behavior.. i am SURE she did something crap towards that horse. poor horse.. She is a liar!!
These intros to the cases have me dead 🤣
She promotes her self as a paid professional. She lied and got caught. If you hit any horse and it feels fear it will kick you.
Horses are horses. This is why any equine activity starts with a liability release. It can be dangerous!
But horses are also wonderful and can be amazing to work with ❤
Chile, the Plaintiff looked like she was ready to cry when she realized the verdict wasn't going to go her way... Im glad she lost. She abused the horse, thats why she got kicked.
Is that a seeing eye dog? Maybe the woman has a vision problem. 🐕 🐎
Fair Verdict! As soon as she read that email in the beginning I knew she was toast!
"If you were lunging the horse and it was this far away from you, how did it kick you?"
"I don't know."
Really? You were close to it, whipping it in the butt. That's why you got kicked.
No animal is purposefully "naughty"-idc what this fool says -she's not an animal friendly lady =obviously
Horses that go into a transport easily are horses that are used to being in and out of trailers. It is horse owners responsibility to practice going in and out of trailers so they are familiar with trailers. Schooling people!!! Education people!!! This woman is not a good handler. PERIOD!!
