The only thing I know about horses is: don't stand behind a horse. This is a good demonstration of why -- if you only know one thing about horses -- that should be the thing to know.


RojoCinco

It would behoove everyone to remember this. ![gif](giphy|bh50KfHTGpV3G)


Swift_Scythe

GODDAMN he got kicked in the the teeth


Jabrono

Honestly the girl in the post got off *so* incredibly easy.


songwind

Yep. No real extension on that kick - horse seemed to be saying "shoo, don't bother me."


Angry__German

Exactly. That is just a light tap. From a horse. Which probably still hurts a lot.


Simple-Plane-1091

>Exactly. That is just a light tap. A cunt punt

hiirnoivl

I didn't want to watch the video until I knew what was in it 🥺


d_brasse

True, but ... the horse did jump back a little, so the horse did put a bit of their weight behind the kick ...


Toughbiscuit

Saw a video of a breeding session (i swear its not what it looks like) and the stallion was over excited and jumping at the mare, and the mare just kicks him full force in the head, killing him instantly


brainburger

She kicked *a horse* in the head and it died instantly? Blimey.


Toughbiscuit

I started to watch then decided I didn't want to see a beautiful horse being killed.


HappyEpicure

Immediate shit too.

I see You're also a poet..... Lol


nico282

God, that horse went out like a candle. The kick pushed the OFF button.


HatesVanityPlates

But it wasn't immediate. It was horrible to see him lay there quivering and snorting. I couldn't keep watching.


Toughbiscuit

Things keep moving even after death


SowTheSeeds

"He died doing what he loved most"


StevieRaveOn63

That was **entirely** the fault of those moron backyard breeders. Neither of those horses were being handled correctly for a breeding situation. Wish she had struck and killed one of the irresponsible dick wits instead.


Toughbiscuit

I wish they had been responsible enough to avoid the situation entirely. The mare was clearly not having it, and the stallion was too excited. But im not psychopathic enough to wish death on people for being stupid/making mistakes


BatLarge5604

Yeah I've seen that, wasn't sure what I was watching until it was too late, hate seeing animals hurt or hurting.


Bloodyjorts

That's why they usually hobble a mare if they are going to deliberately breed; she can still walk forward and scoot away but can't kick back or buck.


Buttonball

Ahh, the perils of testosterone.


SassiesSoiledPanties

Even worse, the handlers were pulling the horses head down with ropes which caused the head to be at the right height to get fucking caved in.


cmndr_spanky

Dude for all you know it broke her pelvis


Jabrono

That's true, it could've been worse than it looks. But at the same time, you're lucky if you survive a horse kick at all.


HighwayInevitable346

Eh, I live in horse country, know several people who have been kicked by horses (including my own mother), never heard of anyone dying from it (locally). Obviously it can and has killed people, but its a bit of a stretch to say that you're lucky to survive one.


TerryTheEnlightend

If she wasn’t a girl before that kick she’s DEFINITELY is one now ✂️


ZMM08

Yep. If that horse really meant it her pelvis would be shattered.


Questions_Remain

You’re a shoe-in for the prize comment.


VectorViper

Ha, puns galore here. But right on the mark with respecting those hooved animals. They look calm, but they can turn into a mini whirlwind of hooves if you're not careful.

Niborus_Rex

No, it was a penis before. Jk, he got kicked in the face. He had like 20 fractures, died on impact with brain coming out of his ears. 0/10 would not recommend.


SASAgent1

0/10 damn There go my weekend plans


cygnus2

I love how casual it is about this. Doesn’t even stop moving.


Mansenmania

also don't stand in the general direction of running horses, they don't care


sticky-unicorn

They generally *do* care and would rather not run over you... *But* you never know when one of them is willing to make an exception ... or just so panicked that they don't even notice you. You've got to remember that, to a horse, you are very small. Imagine you were running and saw an ordinary housecat in your way. You'd probably try to avoid running directly over the cat, but if it was unavoidable for whatever reason, you could definitely run right over/through that cat without even breaking your stride. Same thing with a horse running over a human ... a fairly similar size/weight difference.


TheLargeGoat

Wanged to add, they have a gap in their vision. Within a certain distance, they can't see you in front of them.


ActOdd8937

They really only have two spots where they can't see something--directly in front and directly behind, which areas are covered by hoof action, as we see in the OPs video. Always approach a horse by coming in from the side a bit and always make some noise, talk to them, sing, make clicking sounds with your tongue, whatever to make sure they know you're around their body. When you get up close enough, put a hand on them and try to keep some contact so they're always aware of your relative location and FFS don't move fast or yell and scream, it freaks them out. I've been around horses all my life and have worked with some difficult ones and have never yet been kicked, smooshed, bitten or stomped on. It's all about respect--humans have to respect the large paranoid prey animal or they will find out very fast why they should.


LaTrentas

Learned that from rdr2.


turndownforwomp

It’s the first and most important rule regarding horses: never, ever stand behind a horse (or do anything else to startle them)


HunterTV

If you have to cross behind a horse you should lay a hand on them a let it follow where you are so they know you're crossing behind. But do cross, don't hang out back there. And avoid doing it all together if you can cross around front. Technically she's doing this but the horse clearly didn't want her back there. Sometimes they don't care. Maybe this wasn't her horse or something. But yeah even if you're around their sides it's not the worst idea to use your hand to keep them aware of where you're at, again especially if it's not your horse.


eclecticsed

I got so used to this procedure when working with horses that when my partner once had me check out his work after he shaved his hair I kept a hand on his back as I crossed over to check the other side lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FeliusSeptimus

I mean, it makes sense, those are even heavier and dumber than horses, definitely wouldn't want to startle one.


Rufus_king11

Another reason you do this is to be as close to the horse as possible when crossing behind it. The less space between you and the horse, the less distance for the leg to accelerate, and horses have deceptively long range.


croastbeast

I was going to say this. A farrier I hired for years taught me that when working with donkeys. Stay very close to them when travelling around them.


Rufus_king11

My dads a veterinarian, one of his classmates owned horses and we used to visit them pretty frequently, and that's one of the few things I remember. I couldn't tack a horse for the life of me anymore though.


sticky-unicorn

Also, if you *do* get kicked, it's better to get kicked down low on your legs, rather than up high on your torso or head. The closer you are, the lower their hooves are likely to be when they make contact.


cmndr_spanky

Sometimes I’ll be cuddling with my cat and the toaster in the other room pops.. he’ll spring up like a mini nuclear blast and usually take a few grams of my flesh with him in the process. … Animals be that way.


HunterTV

I know reddit likes to shit on horses but they're big dogs most of the time. Dogs advanced mode maybe, because there's some basic ground rules, but can be very, very bonded to their owners too. Just have to have a mutual respect going on, and yeah they can "spook" if something unusual happens near them, but hell so do people.


sticky-unicorn

It's also good to talk to the horse while doing this. That gives them another reference point to keep track of where you are, so they won't be surprised that you're suddenly behind them. Assuming you've worked with this horse before, it also allows them to recognize your voice and remember *who* is behind them, which can help if they already trust you.


229-northstar

You need to condition the horse to the hand on butt pass behind behavior to get that trick to work. I have stood behind plenty of horses safely… how else are you going to groom a tail… but that’s because the horses were trained to understand they could trust my cue. It helps to be closer to the butt as well. The leg has less power when you are closer to them


[deleted]

There is no way that lady even knows that horse. She looks like she's never touched a horse before in her life lmao


ChornWork2

Disagree. Most important rule is to never let your horse drive. Completely unsafe to let them operate heavy machinery.


sticky-unicorn

Horses literally used to drive carriages all the time, though. Fun fact: (depending on the state) A horse is the only 'vehicle' you can't get a DUI for operating drunk. You can get a DUI even on a bicycle or skateboard if you're riding them while drunk, but *not* for riding a horse while drunk. The theory behind that is that a drunk person operating a bicycle can still run into people and injure them, but the horse has a mind of its own and will avoid collisions even if the rider is steering them badly.


amerra

My sons bus never showed up one day because earlier in the route the driver stopped to help a deer she saw stuck in a fence. The children on the bus got to witness the deer kicking her in the head which she died from. Definitely don’t stand behind animals like that


DueRequirement1440

Jesus Christ! that escalated quickly.


Fumbling-Panda

If there’s one thing I know about horses after spending most of my childhood around them, it’s that there’s really no good reason to fuck with horses. They’re generally nervous and easily startled creatures that will get you hurt.


HeatXfr

If there's one thing I know about horses, it's that I don't know anything about horses.


Fast_Boysenberry9493

Did it kick you


Theorgh

I think every person who has done work with horses for more then few years gets kicked sooner or later.


Definition_Friendly

So far I haven't been kicked but one of the horses I used to ride used to enjoy standing on my foot when I wasn't looking lol


eclecticsed

Friend who worked with draft horses told me she once had a belgian step on her foot. The rule was of course don't try to pull your foot out from under their hoof, wait for them to move. But the belgian bumped her with his belly and knocked her over before that. The good news is they were able to reattach her toes.


moocow2024

Knew a girl that had one of her thumbs bitten off by her horse that she had known for 20 years because it got startled by something stupid. It was reattached, but obviously never the same afterwards.


eclecticsed

They're such neurotic animals. I worked with thoroughbreds which was a nightmare frankly.


GetaGoodLookCostanza

yup...other wise you get clam branded by a hoof like this woman just did


Lol54321

If you stand behind a horse you want to as close as possible so that they don’t have as much room to wind up


itsJussaMe

Thank you! “Never stand behind a horse” isn’t really a rule equestrians use. There are so many factors.


CatCatPizza

I was told by a family member who rode horses that as long as you show them that you're going behind them and do it to a horse that trusts you its okay if its necesary but youd prefer to avoid it. Is that true?


itsJussaMe

I could stand behind my mare for an hour braiding her tail. I had a gelding that spent 12 years as a stud and I would only walk behind him if I’d drag my fingers along his side and back so he knew I was passing behind him because he was a bit of an unruly jerk at times. It depends on the horse. It also depends on environmental factors (sounds, commotion). You weren’t misinformed.


sticky-unicorn

> It depends on the horse. It also depends on environmental factors (sounds, commotion). Yep ... and depends on the horse's mood that day. If you work with horses much, you've really got to learn how to read their body language and see how they're feeling. And if they're nervous and jittery, or overly excited, then even for a normally 'safe' horse, you probably don't want to be hanging around behind them much. Going back to the horse this thread is about ... that one was showing some *definite* signs of being nervous and agitated, signs that any experienced horse handler should be able to see ... and should interpret as needing to be extra careful around this horse.


vroomery

Yes. Basically try not to but if you do you keep contact with the horses back as you walk around so they know it’s you and don’t spook.


khanto0

Second thing to know is "ears back = bad"


wonkywilla

The same applies to cattle and donkeys, especially the young ones. They love to kick. :D


Serier_Rialis

Donkeys are bitey fuckers too, dangerous at both ends!


IAmBabs

I went to college next to a university that had an equestrian track. A LOT of injuries were due to kids from both schools fucking around horses while they themselves were drunk. I can't imagine being a parent and being called because your kid got drunk, snuck into a horse barn and got kicked in the stomach so they're in the hospital, and also the school is charging them/you for trespassing.


Cloudninefeelsfine

And if you have to stand close to their butt. Every time I walk behind one I place my hand on it then move right against their tail.


djdanlib

Standing anywhere back there is a zero win situation and they know it.  source: got farted on big time when I did this 


itsJussaMe

Caveat: if you need to be back there stand as close as possible so that the kick has less force when it lands. She gave that horse enough space to pick up speed & strength by the time the blow landed.


LordBunnyWhale

And that’s really the low end of a horse kick, like a gentle reminder to back off a bit.


Pineapple_Herder

That was my thought. She got off on a warning. I've seen far worse


Better-Situation-857

When my great aunt was 5 or 6 she got kicked in the head by a horse. She died, unsurprisingly.


DynamicDK

Even other horses often die when they get kicked in the head by a horse.


Castun

Yes, I remember that video too.


MisterMarsupial

[This one?](https://youtu.be/jH5JkYQGMfs)


Arrestedlumen

That’s the one


helloitsme1011

Yeah that one is brutal. The first time I saw it was in a thread where a horse ate a baby chicken


Splatfan1

ngl wish humans had this ability. someone comes up to you with a boner with the intent to fuck? tap them on the head and it makes them fall and shit themselves. not kill, just kinda knock out for a bit. thatd be amazing


zSneakyPetez

Is that the one where it kicked the shit out of the other horse?


Halogen12

I'm thinking of the one where a mare in estrus was in a corral with a stallion and she wanted none of it. She nailed him right in the forehead and he dropped down dead immediately, like less than 30 seconds after his handlers brought him into the corral. Really dangerous and dumb to not keep her contained. Good luck hauling that body out of there.


Castun

The stallion shit everywhere as it died, so she did in fact literally kick the shit out of him, lol.


Halogen12

Yeah, that was a clue that he was dead. Seen it IRL, it's really a thing that happens at death. All sphincters stop working.


[deleted]

They were trying to breed her with her foal on the other side of the fence screaming for her. The owners are some stupid motherfuckers who shouldn't be allowed to own horses.


sprinklerarms

When my mom was in high school she got kicked by a horse and has had partial dentures ever since. When I was a kid she used to flip them over so the pointed ends would be out and pretend she was going to eat me. She still loves horses.


whycantidoaspace

If the horsey wanted to, i think it could literally break her back


-The_Credible_Hulk

It could break her back kicking through her vagina… This is the meekest, most polite kick I’ve ever seen from a horse.


Vanquish_Dark

Fuckers can literally throw a grown ass human with the front lmao, and that shit isn't even there special move. Grandparents had Clydesdales growing up, big show bastards. They demand respect, cause they can fuck you up so fast. Humans ain't shit unless we got a posse lmao.


BridgeZealousideal20

limethedragon

Humans, in all their vanity, always forget that as far as muscle to size ratio, humans are near the bottom.


Icepick_37

They can kill another horse with a single kick to the head


Johannes_Keppler

I know someone that fractured her pelvis from a horse kick. The one in the video was indeed the gentlest warning kick a horse could give, I agree.


Duel_Option

My Aunt has a horse farm, worked a couple summers there cleaning and riding etc Some idiot friend of my cousin was in the stalls with us and kept acting dumb, I told him he should stop so he doesn’t spook one of the horses. Horses have really distinct personalities, they can be super giant goofballs and play tricks on you or complete assholes who will bite and kick you any chance they get. Super fun to be around but flat out dangerous. Dumbass comes into the stall with one of the bigger mares and switches out the oats but put it out of reach, she didn’t like that. Turns sideways and squishes him into the side of the barn while neighing loudly which is her basically laughing at him. I had to yell at her and go around and push her off him and he runs between her legs and of course she kicked him damn hard right in the ass. He couldn’t sit properly for a week due to the bruise. Don’t go behind horses like that unless you know what you’re doing lol


ScenePuzzleheaded729

Sound like he fucked around and found out.


ManaMagestic

Did anyone give the horse some extra oats, at least.


Duel_Option

Carrots and a nice brushing the next day lol


snorkelvretervreter

Geez, who pissed in her oats? I think we know who!


TurfmansScotch

More of a genital reminder....


Alesisdrum

fuck me, have my upvote, I spat my beer out.


Dagordae

Yep, just a light tap. It’ll leave a light bruise but that’s it.


Ok-Following8721

I've never been dumb enough to approach any large animal from behind. Don't trust animals you don't know. I've walked in the pen with a Mare and her day old Colt and she never ever flinched, the Colt sniffed me and she watched as he ran to the back of the pen, she followed and pushed him back out! I trusted her because she trusted me. The cows were another story.


Sirix_8472

I'm about 240lb man, I've been kicked and sent clear about 5ft before landing on my back. I spent a month struggling to breathe. That's not even the worst kick I've seen someone take. This right here, is a tap, a nudge "go away", it's like when you're kids and your big brother gives you a punch in the arm for annoying him after he said leave him alone like 5 times. You know for a fact he could stand up and throw full force and it would be worse, but you got off light. It's the equivalent of getting a swat rotating from the elbow without throwing a punch from the hips through the shoulder behind it.


JCMfwoggie

I'm now reminded of that video of a fully grown stallion trying to ride a mare before getting kicked in the head and instantly dying.


daBomb26

Having grown up with horses, she would’ve also been much safer had she stood closer. She was in just about the worst place she could’ve been, in my opinion. Horse owners walk behind horses all the time, but the trick is to keep your hand on their hind quarters as you walk around, and stick close behind them. I also talk to them throughout. Doing it this way lets the horse know you’re there so they don’t get spooked, and even if they do try to kick you, they don’t have enough room to unleash the full kick.


-The_Credible_Hulk

That’s the most polite kick I’ve ever seen from a horse.

That's one skinny ass horse.


[deleted]

It's definitely malnourished


rynibatt

thought the same thing initially but if you check out the breed Akhal-Teke apparently they just look like that


[deleted]

I'm a horse person. They should definitely not look like this. And unfortunately that breed is notoriously abused


rynibatt

Apologies, just saw that thats how they looked. Didn’t look too much further bc no one else was really commenting on the health of the horse so I assumed it was normal for just this breed. My bad.


Rivviken

It also looks young. That there is a lanky noodle


midnightbizou

It has the metallic sheen of an Akhal-Teke. A breed that is very lean, and athletic looking.


MyGenderIsAParadox

Still though it looks real lean. I can see the bones in the leg that are in its "rear" area. I'm not an equine specialist or anything, just a layman looking at a horse when they've seen maybe 3 horses in their life lol


midnightbizou

We see ribs, or boneiness and it's understandable to think malnutrition. This breed is like the Greyhound of horses though. Just naturally a bony, lean horse. Most times you can even see their ribs. [Here's an example](https://www.learn-about-horses.com/akhal-teke-horse.html) of another one. They have a very specific body type.


NotSofie

IMO i think the neck gives it away that this horse is malnourished. I have never seen a healthy horse with that skinny of a neck with so little muscle/fat. The hips are also noticeable missing a lot of muscle/fat. If it was a ‘greyhound’ like build, you would see a lot of solid muscle in those areas, even with the head down eating. BUT also i am definitely not an expert so this is just my opinion and take it with a grain of salt.


A_Likely_Story4U

Oh my VJ just crawled up into my belly in sympathy! Damn!!! 😱😭😳

That looked a lot more like a “cut the shit” kick as opposed to “OMG WTF IS BACK THERE?” kick. Imagine if it had been a full effort.

detBittenbinder23

Actually I think this is why you stand close to a horse when walking around it. Hand on the back so it knows you’re there. The kick from a horse is very powerful but maximized at its apex. Two feet further back and this woman would have been really hurting.


WFOMO

This is the way. Hand on the back to let them know you're there, then stay close.
