Johnson County keeps a great many horses, and horse liability is both larger and stranger than owners expect. Texas has an equine activity statute that limits liability for the inherent risks of equine activity, and it is genuinely useful — but it is narrower than the comfort people take from it. It protects against the inherent risks, and it comes with conditions, including the posting of statutory warning signage and specific language in written agreements. It does not protect an owner who was negligent, it does not cover every arrangement, and its protections have been litigated. Meanwhile a horse that gets loose onto a farm-to-market road at night is not an equine activity at all; it is a livestock-at-large question and a collision claim, and the vehicle that hits an animal that size is usually a total loss with injuries behind it. Homeowners policies vary widely on animal liability, and boarding, lessons or any paid arrangement can move the whole thing into territory a personal policy excludes. An umbrella is the right instrument for the size of the exposure, and it sits above whatever the underlying policy is willing to do — so the order of operations is to confirm the homeowners form actually covers animal liability at the scale you keep, then layer over it, then check that the fencing and the signage do the work the statute expects of them.
