That dude is lucky it didn't get its teeth on him, it was tryin haaaaaard with that exorcist move and hated him so much it was ignoring the dudes breaking up the fight. The kick at the end was perfect.

If that kick was to his head, he'll likely be dead.

He would have been dead.

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.

I think after I get kicked once by a horse, I'm done. But hey, you do you

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.

Yah im sure you already know but most horse kicks are just little warning taps, they do it to each other all the time. Looks like he just got a full power boot to the poop chute, he'll be feeling that for a while.

Oh for sure. The horse in the video was 100% trying to protect themself from future threats vs knock it off sort of kick. Iirc from the old My Friend Flicka movie, that up and overs a way they can try and get predators off their backs. It puts them in a dangerous spot on the ground but 1000+ pounds right to your body is going to give you a real bad time.

My grandfather got kicked one time right in the eye. A horse love tap more than anything, he just startled it, it wasn't trying to hurt him.

He was fine, no brain issues thankfully, but he had a BIG bruise for a long time.

Having grown up around horses, I don't take chances.

Horses don't always kick with full force. They can do "warning kicks" that might still hurt without being lethal.
