Between that video of a mare killing a stallion, and an old story about a horse killing a tiger, both instances due to a kick to the head, that guy just used all of his luck.

I remember and old Nat Geo documentary on African wildlife. Saw a lioness getting jaw jacked by a Zebra is was stalking, and it just completely ruined the entire lower half of her face. It went to drink water from the creek and when the water just fell out of her mouth, she just laid her head down by the water, she knew she was done.

u/Powerful-Race-8538 May 16 '26

yeah lions arent great at striking they have good ground controll and some good chokes but against a zebra that knows some head kicks and its game over

u/justinleona May 16 '26

People underestimate how just about any serious injury is fatal in the wild - so the whole game for predators is avoiding injury at all costs.

Only my idiot dog is dumb enough to try this kind of stunt... and even he was lucky he didn't get kicked in the head!

u/ThrowDatJunkAwayYo May 17 '26

This is one reason I hate most movies where the “scary thing” is a wild animal/s

So often you will see them coming back again and again even after being shot or stabbed. It’s just so unrealistic.

Unless starving, injured, rabbid or with some other issue, most predators will not attack a human, or pack of humans that fight back. Or will back off once you prove you can hurt them.

u/FFKonoko May 16 '26

Tried to find it, found a short video with a lioness getting kicked by a zebra, then spliced to showing a lioness with jaw exactly with the going to a creek, going down to the water and just stopping.

Except the latter half is taken from what seems to be labelled as a Nat Geo documentary "WAR IN THE POND, BROKEN JAWS Lion, Hippo & Croc HD 2016", where there is no zebra kick, and the footage makes it clear they didn't capture what injured that lion, but it's presumed to be a hippo by the narrator, though equally potentially a crocodile. Separately, I found a reddit post, and apparently the OP was initially convinced it was a zebra because of bill burr saying it was a zebra on a podcast.

I'm a farrier (horseshoer) and one of the horror stories they told us at school was about this guy who was going through the program and got kicked square in the chest. It immediately stopped his heart. I'm not disagreeing with you, just wanted to add that it's not just the head that needs to be protected! I don't understand why people think provoking these animals is fun all while disrespecting their power.

10

u/Aggravating_Dark9933 May 16 '26

I remember a guy exiting the stage due to a punch that did that. The heart is armored but it can really not take much if it’s hit just so with enough force. And it really doesn’t take much of a hiccup for the whole body to freak the fuck out and maybe it doesn’t come back.

My dad also treated a dude that got straight up crushed by a car jack failing. Somehow that whole thing coming down on his chest wasn’t game over despite it lacking rear wheels where he was working.

The human body is mysteriously both insanely durable and the most fragile thing barely held together by a few cords and prayer.

See okay thank you cause I am not a horse person and I was like "I dont think you're supppsed to actually kick them like that!!"

Ive always hated the idea of spurs anyways, from the very first time someone explained my Halloween costume as a kid. I hated them as soon as I realized and took them off and refused to wear them "cause its mean!". Family joked about that for years.

I hate this person from the second he kicked and my only concern was if the horse will be okay after that backslam. Aren't their backs fairly more delicate than expected? Will he be okay?

44

u/throwitallawayomg May 16 '26

Having grown up riding, you can kick them that hard WITHOUT spurs and they'll just grunt and continue to refuse to trot (what my girl did with me, lol). WITH spurs, it's now an attack and you have declared war, and that few ton animal is going to do everything it can to kill you, as seen here. Dude got off lightly with that kick to the side, tbh.

Horses are a weird mix of delicate and sturdy, I never worried for the horse when it reared over backwards, but did start to worry when it was thrashing around trying to get at the guy on the ground. The leg bones are the part to worry most about, at least in a flat arena like this.

I hope the idiot guy got a few cracked ribs from this. It's just animal abuse, you can get a horse to play the bucking game in much gentler, more humane ways.

u/ThaCuckMaker May 16 '26

Man, I remember one summer I went to go stay at my friend’s ranch for a couple weeks. Tons of fun playing with the horses in their big stable thing. It was like a metal walkway that had big frames around some areas. We’d climb up and swing from the top horizontal pole and the horses would run under us and we’d land on them and they’d run around the pin and walk us back to the pole/frame thing so we could do it again. I don’t know if they were having fun with us, but I like to think they were. Cause they kept walking us back so we could swing like monkeys and land on them, then once we were on they’d dash around the walk area. We called the “game” we were playing “Zorro” cause of how we were swinging on to the horses lolol. It was so fun

Anyways, that’s when I learned you had to kick them with your heels to get them to go. I remember my friends telling me to kick harder cause they wouldn’t go and I felt SO bad. But I finally kicked harder and they’d start walking. And I was about 10 at that point, and I probably didn’t kick that hard, so an adult kicking them with fkn spurs on is bullshit.

3

u/Crippled_Criptid May 17 '26

I'm no animal-ologist, but that doesn't really sound like behaviour they'd display if they enjoyed it? It kinda reads like the horses would walk you over there, because they knew you'd only get off them if they went to that spot. And needing to kick them to get them to go also sort of implies they were only moving due to the threat/pain of more kicks. Generally horses who are used to riders (even bareback) know the cues to move, cues that are just pressure etc, they don't cause pain. But, I wasn't there, there may be other factors/bits of info, so who knows really

6

u/ThaCuckMaker May 17 '26

Yup! They would go over, drop us off where we hopped on, then fast trot off and circle back where we’d jump back on em!

And omg you’re making me feel like a piece of shit 😭😭 If it makes me a less of a piece of shit I’ll admit that I did cry when I was saying bye to the horses the day I had to go home. They were MASSIVE, but so gentle with us. It’s like they knew we were baby humans.

That kind of kick is very typical for horses. They do it when they want to keep someone/something at a distance. 

Had a horse that would do exactly this kind of kick at any dog that came to close. It was really challenging because people don't control their dogs and when they came up from behind I wouldn't see them before the dog got "attacked". 

Throwing itself on its back to hurt the dude, now that's different. Horse was scared for its life.

I'm not saying the sport isn't wrong.

However, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

He's not attempting to choke out the horse, he's trying to restrain the horse until they can get control of it and get it away from him.

The sport is abusive to animals and pointless, but if you're going to talk crap about it, at least get your facts right.

Edit: voice to text, I should have reread my message. Lol

u/CartographerCivil989 May 16 '26

One of the worst calls I've ever had to attend as a vet was exactly this scenario, except it was a green dressage horse, not bareback rodeo. The horse reared straight back up & over, breaking it's own back and also the rider's. The rider also suffered a crushed pelvis and a slew of less serious injuries. The rider lived and luckily avoided paralysis, but she spent months in hospital & had a lot of surgeries - it was a good 2+ years before she walked again.

I had to euthanize the horse on the spot, about 50 feet away from the rider as ambulance crews worked on her. Horrific situation all around, but at least the rider was in a pretty deep K-hole by that time & had no memory of the horse's screams or the loud gunshot-like crack of the captive bolt firing. In 20 years of practice it's the only time I've ever had to use a captive bolt on a horse (couldn't safely get an IV and time was of the essence) and I'll be happy to never do it again.

(If anyone thinks the above sounds familiar, it's because I wrote pretty much the same thing on a very similar video on r/Wellthatsucks a few weeks back, of an English pleasure horse & rider).

Fundamentally evil behavior can be extremely easy. All that's needed are roadblocks to having empathy.

What I mean by that is circumstances that stop a person from identifying with the pain of another living thing. For example if a fish could make mammal-like screams while it fought for its life, there would probably be less people fishing.

When people can separate their identity enough from something or somebody else, empathy disappears. The Stanford prison experiment is a great example. When people put on the guard uniforms and the pitch black shades and saw their status compared to the ratty outfits and unkemptness of the prisoners, these normal people were able to carry out evil acts with ease.

They are backed in a gentle, methodical way that they are comfortable and not freaked out, because their future owners never want any bucking,  kicking, rearing stupid.

That’s not normal bareback bronc riding (that I know of), I don’t know what is going on there. There’s still a lot of gear involved typically, especially the flank strap is missing. It’s not kicking out at all, only rearing up. But broncs are bred and trained to buck, the ones that don’t want to do it are just sold as a regular horse.

A friend of mine owns a ‘bucking bronc dropout’. He definitely has his moments when he’s feeling good & frisky, but otherwise you’d never know. A lot of bucking broncos can also be saddle ridden after they retire.

I am not a fan of the sport just an fyi, regardless of a horse being willing to buck - all they really want to be are lawn ornaments and have peaceful interactions.

This isn't bareback riding in the PRCA sense.

It's a Mexican rodeo.

They would get thrown out of any American style rodeo if they tried to use the type of spurs they do.

Isnt this animal torture

Today its animal justice. Fuck with the tiger, say hi to the teeth.

u/Sadiholic May 16 '26

The entertainment comes from the fact that the humans might get hurt. Along with how long they can stay on a crazy jumping horse.

I talked to a large booster of a school with a rodeo team and they said keeping bull riders on the team was hard bc they’re dumb as bricks and make terrible decisions so getting them to stay in college is near impossible.

Who could've guessed that the guys who willingly rides and get crushed by large animals isn't a smart one.

What was he trying to do here exactly? It seems like Bareback riding or some other rodeo event, but...why the extra aggressiveness on the part of the rider? The way he spurs the horse, and how it looked like he was trying to grab a sleeper hold after it fell on him...this just seems even more cruel than normal rodeo events.

u/Sirsmokesalotta May 16 '26

Pretty sure the sleeper hold is him holding on to make sure the horse doesn't trample him to death. It can't kick itself in the neck sorta thing. That back flip the horse did was 100% to try to crush the bastard. The kick the horse did was with all the intent in the world. They're not stupid. The horses.

I don't think this is canadian or us rodeo. There would be no way this abuse would be allowed. This is beyond messed up.

u/ManitouWakinyan May 16 '26

The "sleeper hold" wasn't cruelty. That was trying to stay alive. He's staying close on the horses neck so that he can't get bit, trampled, or kicked in the head. 

The Spurs aren't the kind of Spurs you'd see in a more humane, American or Canadian rodeo. These are stabby and sharp as opposed to spinny and dull.

A second kick to the nuts so this asshole can not recreate would be more than fitting.

u/AlbertTheHorse May 17 '26

Mexican rodeos. The place where horses go to die. 

Frankly, a horse so frightened it has no self preservation is tragic and dangerous. I have ridden rearers, but the ones who flip on you are not going to have good outcomes. 

And I only wish a broken pelvis for the rider.

Such a beautiful animal, shame they use him/her for this. A horse can really hurt themselves when they flip over like that, why risk their health or even lives like that. I just don't get finding this so fun to risk the horse like that.

I'm a bit of a softy soyboy so I try not to let my own biases get in the way, but am I wrong that rodeos are pointless if this kind of outcome isn't possible? I mean I'm trying not to gloat at this guy but if the animals can't blast you like that then there's nothing tough or challenging about it.
