5. If the equestrian brings an action for damages against the property owner, the result should be for
While an equestrian was riding her horse on what she thought was a public path, the owner of a house next to the path approached her, shaking a stick and shouting, «Get off my property.» Unknown to the equestrian, the path on which she was riding crossed the private property of the shouting owner. When the equestrian explained that she thought the path was a public trail, the man cursed her, approached the equestrian's horse, and struck the horse with the stick. As a result of the blow, the horse reared, causing the equestrian to fear that she would fall. However, the equestrian managed to stay on her horse, and then departed. Neither the equestrian nor the horse suffered bodily harm.

A is incorrect. Trespass to chattels is an interference with the equestrian's possessory interest in her personal property. To prevail in trespass to chattels, however, the equestrian would have to prove actual damages, measured according to the diminution of the chattel's value. Since the facts clearly state the horse suffered no damage, this claim would not prevail.
C is incorrect. A battery claim does not require bodily harm or severe emotional distress.
D is incorrect. The defendant had no privilege to use any type of force against the equestrian unless she was a threat to the owner's personal safety.
