Chapter11

please solve this case for me

3 Plaintiff boards his mare in a pasture with other horses. One day while trying to feed his mare, Plaintiff leads the mare away from the other horses in the pasture. Defendant's colt approaches him in a menacing manner and Plaintiff, who is aware of the colt's vicious propensities, drives the colt away and returns to feeding his mare. The colt waits and then stealthily comes up behind Plaintiff and kicks him in the behind. Do you think this is a case of strict liability? What defenses might be raised and why? Sandy v. Bushey, 128 A. 513 (Me. 1925).
