I was hired by Progressive Insurance to defend a MB versus horse case several years ago. It was an ML. The owner/rider was walking it across the street from the arena where they held a barrel racing competition. It was at night and not well lit. The horse was very dark brown and the ML came around a corner and hit the horse. It was injured but did not have to be put down. But, it was never going to barrel race again. It was a bad deal because there was a lot of fault to go around. The horse was a previous barrel racing national champion. Working on that case introduced me to a whole new world. It is amazing how much money is spent on horses and barrel racing!
By the way, the ML took the hit and kept on ticking. It need some minor bodywork, but nothing terrible.
