Horses can be unpredictable. Several years ago, we had a 23 year old police dispatcher killed.
She was riding a horse down a road, approaching a railroad crossing while a train approached the crossing. Instead of stopping when she pulled the reins and letting the train pass, the horse panicked and bolted for the crossing.

I had a law professor in college who spent an entire semester hammering on the idea that there are at least two or more ways of looking at any situation. Would your thoughts and comments be any different if the spooked horse had run into something and killed the rider?
