The police are still engaged in law enforcement so whatever flows from that, including a bolting horse (for whatever reason), places them at risk of being sued for any injuries caused by them (or their equipment) to those present in the area -No different to a police car pursuit

I agree that the police as a first point of call should be where a claim is made but I think a counter claim should be made for obvious abuse against a living creature as a difference to a material object like a car- that is controlled by the human.

The horse is property so there may be an action for criminal damage and also assault to the pedestrian caused by the actions of the firework thrower
