Horses can be dangerous for sure, but if you show them you're in charge and not afraid of them they normally behave pretty well. The exceptions don't last long, sometimes even getting a bullet to the head. BTDT.
I couldn't imagine not owning hunting horses, and have used them to get mulies, elk and 1 moose out, but you do have to accept the dangers associated with them.
I've got a busted rifle on my wall from a bad horse wreck, but I am pretty sure it saved my leg from getting broke.
