If they are trespassing on your property you are not liable for any injuries that may occur. In addition, riding horses is a recognized dangerous activity and you might also have a good defense under our state's equine activity statute. I suggest you review the statute and post the appropriate warnings at the border of your property. See, Iowa Code section 673.1-5.
