Ridecamp: [RC] Round Bales + Deaths(?)

Just read the brief discussion on horse deaths
relating to the feeding of round bales and had a
couple questions.  I board my horse and for the first
time in the two years since we've been at this stable
they decided to feed round bales in the dry lot this
year.  Horses go off of pasture shortly after the
first frost.
So I'm concerned about her having access to feeding
off the round bale while turned out which is quite
limited in and of itself.  The prior two years it was
whatever the horses could find to nibble in the
outdoor arena area (their drylot) that is sand.  Which
I realize has its own risks ie sand colic.
There is no way to separate her from the rest of her
turn-out herd unless she is stalled all day which is
not an option.  Other stables are being sought in the
meantime.
Can the stable be held liable for the death of a horse
being fed round bales?  Or is this just one of the
risks of horse ownership?  Assuming just one of the
risks taken though.
How much then is the risk of feeding round bales to
horses?  Is this high risk, moderate or low risk?
TIA,
Val
