Tourist farm ordered to pay after horse bites boyStaff writer, with CNAThe Taichung branch of the High Court yesterday ordered a popular tourist farm and a contractor to pay NT$710,000 (US$22,589) in compensation after a horse bit a child’s ear, overturning a lower court’s ruling absolving them of legal responsibility. In April 2021, during a visit to Nantou County’s Cingjing Farm, a woman, surnamed Lee (李), lifted her two-year-old son next to an enclosure where children could feed horses, court documents showed.
