Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Horse kicked by another horse

Another oldie. Thix clown was lucky.

That stud horse prob’ly cost a lot of money.

I’m wondering if el jefe had any of the handlers shot.

Not going to watch the video because I can't see an animal killed for no good reason. Hopefully they were shot

Steel shod horses have killed many people with a kick to the head as well.

I VERY narrowly escaped that myself.

Horse kicked with both hind legs.. hooves went either side of my head, and took my hat clean off.

One of those Pulp Fiction "miracle moments"... I was very lucky. And more careful after that.

That horse knew exactly how to navigate around those obstacles, and the man didn't realize the horse was so skillful.

When i was about 10 years old i walked up to my cousins horse with reins looped on the fence post. It turned its rear to me and kicked taking off my ball cap.

As a 5 year old and in the hospital for asthma at Robert Lee the ranch people next room over were dealing with their daughter who was in bad shape from a horse kick.

Very sad. They were in my room a bit visiting my folks. I think their daughter was in a coma.

Unreal.

As many have stated, that's a very sad outcome.

Bad shiit can happen when you give a 1200 lb animal a brain the size of a walnut...

People usually scoff at me when I tell them horses are dangerous animals. There's nothing quite like watching a woman feed a horse Apple's from her mouth to theirs. Wonder if that dunbass still has lips.

Having been paired with many horses on elk hunts, I can only second this. I’ve been kicked at, bucked off, gone down with a horse on ice and snow and I have had them tried to bite me. No matter what I’m assured off, I have refused to approach or move closely behind one.

Call me cautious but call me alive and intact with no fractures.🙂

Stud horses in particular are crazy. Mares in season are crazy.

What could go wrong?

I saw a stud horse brought in to an equine facility to extract straws of semen one day.

The stud went crazy in a very high dollar aluminum trailer... The kind that has the living quarters. That trailer was no match for the stud horse. The horse tore that trailer up. Totaled it. Killed himself in the process. Kicking ragged holes in thin aluminum and dragging your legs back though tends to make some pretty bad wounds. Best I can remember, the stud and the trailer loss combined were a smooth quarter of a million dollars.

If you ever make it here, George, I invite you for a visit. We don’t put up with any chit because a person could get hurt. Our horses will balance your perspective.

In fact, a couple years ago, I made a video of Alaskan horse bathing.

I was using my power washer. No problem. I think he enjoyed it.

When I lived in NV there was a fellow down the road from me that raised Quarter Horses.

He had an outfit similar to a squeeze chute he used for breeding.

I never saw it in operation but from the looks of it the mare wasn't going anywhere.

He said it was worth every penny he paid for it and after seeing that video I believe it.

Hahahah. Tff.

Btw, Shrap, wheres Travy? Is he ok,. please?

Oh look. A man-crush. Is t that cute!

My neighbors son was killed by a horse a couple years ago. Horse kicked him in the chest. Broken ribs driven through his lungs.

Wow, you want people who made a mistake killed because a stupid horse accidentally died?

Horses are stupid and big. The combination is dangerous, period. The best survival method, besides staying away, is to keep them on the other side of the fence from you, at least until you've had a good chance to read them. I'm good with horses, but I trust darn few. I always try to be low-key but assertive, watching for lip curl and ears, the usual signals. If they are in the least agitated, I'm nowhere near. Just not worth it, how fast they can turn and pull the trigger. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

That stud was dead even before his feet left the ground. That's a lesson for everyone.

Oh the “bombproof “ horse!!! Haha

Yep they’re bombproof til they’re not.. then somebody gets seriously injured, seen it time and again, my ol lady has several stories from 20 years as a er nurse... that kick to the face was probably equivalent to gettin shot in the face with a 45/70...
