[RC] Ride Vets/lawsuit - Double 8 Ranch

So....
 
what happens when this rider shows up to a ride and the ride vet (any of them)
refuses to work the ride if this rider is allowed to enter?  Also, this particular rider demonstrated blatant disregard for the horse. Is that a factor? What should ride vets think???
 
It's hard enough to get ride vets without this kind of  proven threat.
 
And, what happens when I'm riding down the trail and a rider comes up on my horse's butt and she kicks at the horse/rider and injures one or both? That rider can of course sue me for the injuries (anyone can sue anyone) but I'M the one that has to deal with all the anxiety and expense of an attorney, etc, etc, etc. Should the injured party be sanctioned for not only their riding behavior but for bringing a lawsuit against me?
 
Very complicated questions.
