On April 24, 2014, the Amsterdam District Court ruled in a remarkable case about the damaged tails of five horses. The owner of these horses started a lawsuit against the owner of the horse who has caused this damage. The court ruled that it was proved that the horse of the defendant, had eaten the tails of the five horses.
