title: [Expert opinions about a case of injury which by a failure of a restraining device caused a life-threatening injury to a breeding stallion].
abstract: A stallion got fatal injuries by kicks of a maiden mare because a so called "panic hook" untied spontaneously. The use of such hooks to secure mares during mating should therefore not be recommended.
