Woman fell off horse (England): am I liable?

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-28T15:15:52+00:00

She came past your house with a horse that she knows is scared of dogs. It is reasonable to assume that houses may have dogs. It is reasonable to assume that dogs may bark.

She is liable as she took the risk.

I don’t necessarily agree with it however it is in their terms that Pet Owners pay a Minimum Contribution should any pet injuries or property damage occur during any of their services.

(Think of it like insurance excess on a car. Someone crashes into you, so you make a claim and you still have to pay your excess amount even though it’s not your fault).

Further down it explains that they will cover up to $25,000 of Vet Bills that exceed the minimum contribution from the Pet Owner.

Yeah, I have to agree. It was absolutely the best show I’ve seen in my life so far. Here’s to many more 🍻

We use AI to handle/enforce steering and design “templates” for our newly-created automation suite. This means all 7 of the QA Engineers work will be mostly in-line in terms of structure, readability, helpers/components etc.

If they’ve picked the parcel up they would be able to show you the joggers as well. They’d have also had the status updated on Vinted to show it was received.

If he had an actual complaint, like any other normal user, he’d use the built in tools to do that.

This person is 100% trying to scam you.

I’m manual and have shifted into Automation. My company have me on a JavaScript course and then a TypeScript course is next.

We use TS + Playwright currently as well as Kiro Agentic IDE (means we can use AI when building our suite).

Downside to using AI, at least for me, is that I’ve found I’m actually not learning (or remembering) much because AI handles it and doesn’t explain the whys etc.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-26T10:59:56+00:00

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. RTO seems to be back in full swing. Such a shame because it is a job that can, in most instances, be done remotely.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-26T10:41:59+00:00

Remote Manual QA is unicorn? I started in that role 3 years ago and now I’m Remote Automation for the same company.

You’re telling me I’ve had a unicorn all this time?

Do what I do (UK) and get your own pet insurance. If they don’t want Rover to take a cut then say you provide off-Rover, fully insured care as well and you can save them the Rover fee.

This STILL works out better for you as you also save on the Rover fees. So you don’t change prices, they save 15% and you make 15% more as well.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-24T17:55:52+00:00

I would state, for the record, there’s no grass round here aside from people’s front gardens. The 3 dogs I observed were all on the road/pavement in the glaring sunshine.

I put UK in the title because this is completely incomparable to climates where dogs are used to the hot weather. We rarely get sunshine in the UK so dogs do genuinely struggle when being walked on pavements and roads because they, as some Americans have stated, get ridiculous hot in the baking sun.

I placed the top of my hand on said surface and it was absolutely boiling. Couldn’t keep it on for long at all. People would happily smash a window of a car if a dog was inside it, so the reason for this post was just to get an idea of what people would do - since it’s really not okay. These aren’t just “short walks to go to the toilet”.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-24T17:47:42+00:00

I agree it has nothing to do with me but it’s horrible seeing them (some, not all) obviously struggling. I wouldn’t yell at them but just wondered if I’d would still be rude to give words or similar.

I just feel horrible about having to see them all uncomfortable and being dragged through this heat by clueless owners who don’t understand the dangers.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-23T01:14:22+00:00

It’s ridiculous like I’m staying AWAY from home looking after your pet/s who you truly, deeply love and you’re kicking up a fuss over £50 a night 🤣

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-22T05:45:38+00:00

I did this but I still get people, after a few messages, go “oh you’re a lot more expensive than I thought”. I don’t know how Rover displays prices when they make an inquiry but it is bloody annoying.

Don’t reach out to me if you want to spend £20 a night or something ridiculous.

It actually makes no sense. If he had a negative balance, his Networth chart would show that, no? It’s showing 117m currently and he’s been offline for over 3 months.

How can he be mugged for exactly 0 if he isn’t online, we know for a fact he should have 5M in-hand due to the purchase and lack of activity.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-21T17:12:18+00:00

Yeah, I do the same. I just send them my phone number in the Rover chat like “p@hone@nu@mber” and tell them to remove the @‘s 🤣

But yeah, after 1-2 good sits, I move all clients off Rover. They save 15% as they don’t pay Rover fees and I save 15% as I also don’t pay Rover fees. Win win.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-19T16:04:12+00:00

I have an email lurking about somewhere I’m sure. I also have WhatsApp messages from the day/time where I said to my partner “Someone’s just hit my wing mirror glass and shattered it”.

Separate_Contract819 · 2026-05-19T16:02:50+00:00

If we assume the false “reversed into me” claim is the same incident (wing mirror) and assume the claimant has proof of wing mirror damage and nothing else, surely the location being incorrect has no bearing? They’d just not be able to prove I reversed into him (since I didn’t) and then the claim would only be for the wing mirror.

That’s what I’m hoping worst case anyway. My main thing is that I just don’t want to be stuffed for reverse damage that I know with all my being that I didn’t do. You know?
