If someone was hurting and physically abusing you, wouldn't you know who to punch right in the face? And you think a horse is somehow incapable of doing the same? God, your lack of respect is fucking mindboggling. You're as bad as these asshats.
@@aishamaow3531 but its not like the rear can harm you, because then you need to be in the horses face and up in it space. So its your own fault if the horse's in a bad mood and ur pissing it more
I am a certified cowboy, and honestly, The horses don’t like those owners. Trust me. You must “earn”a horses respect. And the horse doesn’t give it to you easily. You can’t force the horse, it must be willing. When your horse respects you and you respect your horse. It would do almost anything on command.
Hey Dr. Shaun let's say I was to slowly walk up Infront of a horse and present him a bucket of grated carrot from a meter away. The horse will approach me and start eating the carrot yes? At the same time he/she has no intention of harming me because I haven't done anything to annoy him/her?
@@afanoflafear Depends on the horse. My horses wouldn't approach you--my mare hates carrots or anything else even remotely healthy (she likes cookies), and my gelding was abused by some a**hole and won't come near anyone but me. Dr. Rice is 100% right about trust and respect. People who mean no harm sometimes get bitten and kicked by horses, because horses are intelligent animals with their own personalities and some days they just aren't in the mood. But people who have a respectful relationship with the horse generally don't.
I agree. I have been around horses a lot. Did you notice that the horse that kicked the little kid only hit him in the lower leg? It wasn't an accident on the horse's part. If the horse had wanted to clock the kid in the head, he could have done so very easily. They say a mule can take your head off or just lightly remove one of your buttons with a kick...depending on their mood at the moment. I own a mule. I do my best to keep him in a good mood.
@James Ackley Especially when the horse gets very nervous like on the footage. The dad is very irresponsible, he saw it coming but didn't really do much to avoid that situation. It's a good thing the horse didn't kick that hard or higher.
LOL both of yall are wrong. Horses communicate primarily through body language. Simply moving off could be many things...including simply how youre carrying your shoulders, or where youre looking. They can read our body language too (research supports this). Some horses will revert to a feral state if left alone, but not necessarily mean. And once a horse has been gentled, its a lot easier to do it again. My own gelding was a horse like this. He was crazy with fear when I got him. Now hes a big ol sweetie. Please dont spread false information.
anonymoose116 yeah lol thanks for clearing it up. I have horses who are well trained and I know for a FACT they aren’t nervous or stressed around me or my family as we’ve owned and took good care of them for many years now. And they always walk away randomly in front of you sometimes and no way it means they’re nervous lol...
@Triple X Damn it your right, it's only 'a matter of time' before the horse lights you up like a Christmas tree. Get it. Okay I'll get the fuck out. PS: You said Clock not Glock that's what I meant when I said matter of time.
Hot Sauce I don’t know anything about horses - but hell, ain’t no spider man but my spider sense will te me back the fuck off. I guess some people don’t have or use common sense.
Horses are much more intelligent that most give them credit for being. They understand how big they are compared to us, which is why you rarely havw issues of them stepping on feet. It’s also how they discipline their young.
Couple rules about horses: 1.) a horse’s sense of nature is always an act of dominance. You either show your dominance in the way horses do in horse herds in general and earn it’s respect by being respectful with it’s boundaries and listening to it’s warnings. Or you get kicked in the face. 2.) don’t overwork a horse or they end up falling over each other like you see in race and jumping videos. 3.) never. EVER. Come up directly behind a horse. It’ll sense your presence but gets uncomfortable with whatever it can’t see. It doesn’t know it’s you behind them and their natural instinct is to kick. 4.) a spooked horse is a dangerous horse. That’s the only time it’s dangerous since it will bite, kick, and run you over is you aren’t careful. When a horse is scared and starts frantically running, give it space. Don’t charge at or you’ll make it worse. Horses are herbivores. They will protect themselves from predators or any threat if they have a fighting chance. 5.) never put a male and a female together if the female is in heat..... or else you’ll just get unwanted breeding. Like the second to last video :)))) Am I missing anything else?
Horse is an animal full of honor and respect. It needs love and affection. It can become your one of the life saving best friends but If you become disrespectful you will get your necessary treatment :)
After 20 years of breeding, raising and training Arabian horses, I ha very to say that riding horses is one of the most dangerous sports/livelihoods I've ever seen or been involved with. Some states even require warning signs at stables and farms.
Tyler Herdrich oh really?? Horses have more nerves in their bodies than humans so it actually hurts them a LOT. Why else do you think he got kicked? He was being stupid and ignorant to the poor horse. Read the body language.
That’s a kali shiqiptar it’s Albanian small breed bread for riding not pulling and it wasn’t a whip that made him kick it was the stress on his back and the man yelling scared it I got two of them and I’ve whipped them while riding never kicked at all
The majority of whom got kicked are likely disabled or dead... A horse kick can easily create a preassure of 2000 PSI on its hoof which is far more than what the strongest bone (the femur, with 1700 PSI) can withstand...
The horse has to have the accuracy on the kick otherwise there is no point in using it and it would most likely have a lot more predators to look it for as it cannot protect from behind
People keep fucking saying this. Why is it amazing? Because you think they're doing something that surpasses their intelligence? Believe me, if someone it hurting me, I know exactly where and who to shoot.
@@forgottenquill7063 ahh yes, because first, the person hurting you is probably a human so you already have a know how on where to aim. Second of all, they’re kicking from behind and it’s not like “oh he’s 4 cm away from me” but “oh he’s like 1.5 m away from me and he’s behind me as well”. What’s impressive is the fact that they’re capable of hitting the target, which is ok *but* not only that but hitting them in the face most of the time as well.
Jess Hill The horse is a friesian, friesians were used to carry knights armour during war while fighting. They are incredibly strong animals, and put in the work, they live up to their name. His whip use was cruel, but we all whip our horses, not that harsh, but we may as well say whips are abusive, that horse just didn’t want to put in the work, so the owner got angry. Now, it’s never the horses fault, but in this case it’s both of their faults.
I won't lie but the kid getting kicked in the ankle bothered me when it first started. My little cousin when I was 9 died from being kicked by a horse. He was 6. As usual he went down to the farm with his parents and being a kid and not listening it happens. Went to go pet the horses but one was facing opposite of him and he spooked that one while petting the other and it kicked him in the chest and stopped his heart. I miss that kid so much and wonder how he would have been all grown up now
1:26 That’s abuse to our lovely animal horses! The man is clearly smacking the horse w/ a stick! That abuse!!! The horse deserved to kick the man as to defend itself! Why isn’t the cameraman not stopping this man!
I love horses and am an experienced rider. First it kinda breaks my heart to see them ridden poorly, and doubly so when I watched the dad warning the kid not to go from behind but the kid does, and youtube commenters blame the kid. Yeah no...you don't put your kid in that kinda situation and film it...you put your phone down and move him away. But kudos on the views and looking like a proper parent after clearly knowing what was most likely going to occur.. So as a DAD you friggin get your kid out of there. Lessons can be learned in less life-threatening ways.
I am surprised people don't mention that some of these kicks are certainly a fatal blow or the person will never be the same afterwards. On top of that I am sure that some of these horses were euthanized/abused after what they did.
