With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". See Gardner v. Black, 217 N.C. 573, 9 S.E.2d 10, 11 (1940). To recover on the s recognize that they owe a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent their animals from running at large; however, they argue that they did not breach this duty. The Poes do not dispute that the Lollars sustained loss or injury as a result of Ms. Lollar’s collision with their horse on the state highway. The Lollars’ evidence that the Poes knew that one of their horses had gotten out of the pasture on prior occasions creates a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Poes had negligently failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the horse from escaping and running at large. A review of cases from other jurisdictions supports this holding. See Oliver v. Jones, 239 Ark. 572, 393 S.W.2d 248 (1965) (<HOLDING>); Woolstrum v. Mailloux, 141 Cal.App.3d Supp.
