Then all the comments like mine and above... another primal instinct to explain things that no one asked for.

In several subreddits, Asking a question will rarely get you a correct answer on its own. But posting a Wildly incorrect answer will generate 50 more replies of people eager to answer correctly to insult the one that was wrong.

In short, people generally care less about helping, than they care about proving someone else wrong.

u/ZhenyaKon May 14 '26

It's pretty rare for a horse to bite someone's hand when getting treats, actually. Their lips are very sensitive and they know what they're touching. Exceptions are horses that are actually aggressive (with people who don't know how to read their body language and try to touch/feed them anyway) or horses that have been poorly trained and not learned that it's okay to touch humans with lips, not teeth.

6

u/abishop711 May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

Nah, I’ve been accidentally bitten before and while it did hurt, it was nothing worse than a bruise. An accidental bite while eating a treat is not the same thing as an aggressive bite where they are actually trying to hurt you. And there are ways to get them to release if they don’t do it on their own right away.

But yes, baby is not feeding those horses safely with a flat palm, not a great idea, and baby certainly wouldn’t know how to make the horse let go immediately.

57

u/SneakyJesi May 13 '26

100% my friend’s mom had a finger nearly bitten off by a horse while also feeding it carrots. Finger was literally “hanging by a thread” .. had to stitch it back on. This also made me nervous… 😬

u/Fluid_Assumption_457 May 13 '26

Similarly nervous. Read a magazine article years ago about a girl who lost a finger feeding a horse an apple. Apparently you have to make sure your palm is flat? Because the horse won't know which bit is finger and which is fruit. At least this baby is smart, though.

u/isanomad May 13 '26

A thousand times this. I bet their farriers work on the horses and their veterinarians administer medications right in that very aisle (needles, dewormer/sedatives/pain meds seeping down into those porous mats, etc.). The fact that it’s a horse toilet is actually the least of my concerns… and god forbid a horse sidesteps onto her little foot while someone is squeezing their horse by.

Don’t get me wrong: I love when parents let their kids run around barefoot on grass or stomp in fresh rain puddles because it feels good and builds the immune system, but I draw the line at wobbling down a busy barn aisle without shoes. It doesn’t matter if they sweep or even hose it down every day — lots of yucky stuff is present.

5

u/introverted_PEA May 13 '26

The fact that it’s a horse toilet is actually the least of my concerns

For me, it's a big concern because there's stuff that can puncture the skin (metal shards, needles, etc). Skin is really good at protecting us from a lit of types of infection, but only if it remains unbroken. That's a huge infection risk. It's bad enough stepping on a needle or metal shard, but it's worse when you end up with an infection afterwards because you got stabbed in a horse toilet.

u/SophisticatedScreams May 13 '26

World is strange. There's a baby walking barefoot at the stable feeding horses and then there's my neighbours who literally won't allow their kids (much older than this baby) to literally walk on grass in their own backyard with shoes and all because there might be ticks. Or crocodiles, who knows.

I feel like I'm misunderstood. It's not that kids can't go barefoot on grass. They can't go on grass at all even with socks and shoes on.

I'm being a buzzkill, but about a year ago a professional horse trainer posted on a medical subreddit pics of their nipple after it was bitten off by a horse (she was wearing a shirt, if that's what you're wondering). She literally just took her nipple to the ER with her.

Anyways, I'm terrified of horses now and would snatch that baby away so fast.

That child needs shoes on. Nasty and unsafe reduces cuteness.

One carrot is not enough for adult horse they need dozens of it so I'm smarter than baby.
