[RC] Re:Training accident opinions please OT - q jessenWhen my mom had her mare at the trainers, the mare had gotten her front leg stuck in a fence and sliced it right open. We had to bring her home and have our vet come and stich it up. We never thought of having the trainer pay for our vet bill. With any horse/rider any number of accidents can happen. With a trainer, they of all people should know this. You are paying them to train your horse. If they get hurt on the job, that is part of what their job intels. You shouldn't have to pay for it. And if you would have called the vet to check your horses nose, your trainer would have a fit if you tried to make her pay your vet bill. --- Ridecamp Moderator <ridecamp-moderator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Lynn lasah@xxxxxxxxxx Would especially like an answer from people who train for a living but appreciate any opinions. I had my horse in training and he had a fluke stumble where he went to his knees and skinned his nose. No history of tripping. The trainer came off over his shoulder and her glasses cut her eye area under the brow. She would like me to pay her deductible charge on her health insurance. Is this reasonable or customary? Thanks for your help.
