A horse handler is seeking £1 million in damages from a stable after being injured by a horse.

Amber Carling, a 27-year-old horse groom, is taking legal action against the stables of Sir John Peace, a wealthy British tycoon. The reason? A traumatic incident that occurred on November 2nd, 2020, that has left her with life-altering injuries.

On that fateful day, Ms. Carling was carrying out her duties at a Nottinghamshire stable when one of the horses, Jake, suddenly kicked out at her. The force of the blow shattered her jaw and caused damage to her teeth, resulting in a significant speech impediment. This has greatly impacted her ability to articulate certain words.

The stable where the incident took place is owned by Caunton Manor Equestrian LLP, a business co-owned by Sir John Peace, his wife Christine, and their daughter Victoria Wright. Ms. Carling is seeking damages from the company for the harm she has suffered.

Although the stable has accepted responsibility for the injuries, they are disputing the amount of compensation being claimed by Ms. Carling. According to court documents, she lost thirteen teeth in the accident and also suffered significant scarring to her lip and chin.

Ms. Carling's lawyers have stated that the defendant, who is known for his involvement in the horse racing industry, was operating as a racehorse trainer at the time of the incident. They also revealed that their client was leading Jake out of the stable when he suddenly pulled away and struck her in the face.

The impact of the kick was so severe that Ms. Carling was knocked unconscious and had to be hospitalized. She also sustained a broken jaw, which required surgery. As a result of the incident, Ms. Carling now suffers from moderate depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

During a recent High Court hearing, Master Gary Thornett acknowledged the seriousness of Ms. Carling's injuries, stating that her psychiatric condition has been significantly affected. He also noted that her voice has been impacted, further exacerbating her mental state.

It is clear that this incident has had a profound impact on Ms. Carling's life, and she is seeking justice and fair compensation for the harm she has endured. We can only hope that this matter will be resolved in a just and timely manner.
