As a bailee, was Briere liable in conversion for the death of Park Me in First? Explain.

The earliest direct ancestor of the horse lived about 50 million years ago. First domesticated by central Asians nearly five thousand years ago, horses were originally used primarily in warfare and to provide transportation for the nobility and royalty. Modern horses, including the American Quarter Horse, descended from the Arabian horse. Today, horses are used mainly for racing, recreational riding, and showing. To exercise a horse, its handler often uses a technique known as lunging—that is, having the horse walk, trot, or canter in a circle while it is secured to a lunge line held by the handler, who stands in the center of the circle. Lunging can be part of a horse’s daily routine and usually is not considered dangerous.
