Injuries from horses

Got a text today, my horses kicked & knocked down one of the boarders. She's an older lady, already in pain from a surgery gone bad somehow. She's been frail and basically an invalid for the last year.
Anyway Joey hurt her when he knocked her down, then she found a slice on her leg & went to the hospital to get stitches.
We do not have insurance for this kind of thing and I'm sure in Washington State you can't sue for it either, you are supposed to expect horses to hurt you. But damn it all anyway.
I had Joey & her horse out in the arena together for the day because if I put her horse  out with the mares he is too studdy. At least with Joey he can run and play, and play they do, they rear up and strike & kick but never (ok, hardly ever) hurt each other.
I feel really bad but I'm also scared. I'm scared she's going to sue us and life as I know it could come to a crashing end.

In other news: There was a dead body found in the water at our dock today. Dude was in trouble for child porn, he did the right thing.

In other news: We have 5 people who want compost. I've been selling it for $50 per truck load and some of it is damn nice shit. 2 years old & not a turd to be seen, nice black dirt now.
