€145k court settlement

A YOUNG girl who dislocated her elbow after falling from her own pony who was spooked during a lesson, has settled her case against a Dublin equestrian centre for €145,000. It was claimed that Leah Skye Keeling’s pony was too young (3yo) to be in a group lesson and had not been properly assessed by the equestrian centre, Monksfield Equestrian. The claims were denied and the settlement reached without an admission of liability.
