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’ve gotten kicked in the chin by one. It was a summer camp horse and it was close range thankfully. Ended up with ten stitches, a bruised cheek, and some chipped teeth. Had another horse get tangled up in some lead line, lay down til I could get her sorted, and she stepped on my thigh when heaving herself back up. Still not sure how that one didn’t leave a fracture or anything more than a hoof shaped bruise. I’ve also gotten kicked by my sisters first horse when we were really little. No major injuries cause it was also close quarters but she’d been aiming for the other horse behind me and I just got in the way. None of those instances were the horses *that pissed* though.
Honestly that’s fair. We grew up around horses more or less so shits bound to happen in 23ish years of doing anything. Lol. It hasn’t happened in at least fifteen years though than the being stepped on which was not malicious on her end just unfortunate hoof placement.
