It's everything with California laws, far as I'm
concerned!  There's a law there for every little thing in your
life.  I'm sure there's a law about disposing of used tooth paste
from your mouth when you brush your teeth.  Talk about over-
regulation... 

But specifically, CA has probably got more lawyers per capita than
anywhere else on the planet.  OK, OK, exaggeration (it's got more
hungry lawyers... OK, OK, I'll stop!) but you can bet your bottom (deep
pocket) dollar that if that horse bit anyone there'd be a big time
lawsuit lickety split.  Here in NM & probably other states some
people would maybe shoot your horse for you if it bit them or their kids,
or maybe they'd threaten to shoot you, or you might get arrested - but
you *might* not get sued.  Not saying that one shouldn't get in
trouble for harboring a "known danger" of a horse that bit
someone, but in CA I'd figure on losing my house, my car, my dog and my
cheap mercury fillings - everything I owned - if that was my horse &
it bit someone.  Lif
