In OK, a horse and rider is a pedestrian and has the
right-of-way. However, a loose horse is the responsibility of it's
owner. So, in the case that was presented, the owner lost 2 horses and
would probably have to pay for the repairs to the truck (unless the company
waves that off) as well as the driver's wounds (had there been any).
Who do you think is generally responsible when a loose horse is
hit by a vehicle?
