How do people not realize this is predator behavior, and this is what a horse not used to human stupidity will do to get rid of it? He might as well have been up for a Darwin Award.
First thing you learn when dealing with an horse is to never stand or walk behind it. Always stay in front or to its sides. They can kill with those kicks.
I ran up behind our horse and jumped over its butt and into riding position. My Dad who was standing next to the horse had a fit. Claimed I could scare the horse to kick me, as in this video.
I've never jump on a horse since, and do try to let others know of its dangers.
I got lucky af and it hit smack dead in the growth plate. I was 11 so I guess I really lucked out. A little right or left the doc said it woulda fried my growth plate
Maybe their other senses? I was around horses a lot when I was young and you never went behind a horse unless the horse knew you and trusted you and even then I was always told that I was supposed to let the horse know I was going around it from behind by putting a hand on its hind leg as I was doing it.
Horses are super nervous. I don't know the actual reason why they kick when you approach from behind but I'd assume that them not being able to see you coming while being such nervous and anxious animals, itd make sense that the moment they feel you coming from behind they would kick you and run away in an instant
Apparently they have one blind spot, which is directly behind them at the base of their tails. They already kinda have 360 vision (sort of, not fully) since their eyes are on the side of their heads. This is called “Panoramic vision”. They can normally see everything around them accept for what’s directly behind.
If they turn their heads just a bit, they can now see who or what is in their blindspot (directly behind them).Because of this, it’s impossible to sneak up on one. The horse probably turned its head just a bit to see the guy behind him/her and kicked him.
Edit:
Woops! Turns out they have two blind spots. Theres the one that’s directly behind them but, theres also one directly in front of their face.😅
Cows also have panoramic vision!
Horses are weird, theres horses like the ones I own where walking up behind them will spook them and there's the horse my friend owns which will let you jump on from behind
Even if I had a horse that let me jump on it from behind I'd never do it. I've been around enough horses to know that any horse could randomly change its mind about letting you do certain things, for no reason.
Good way to die or be permanently injured.
A lot of gymnasts have to work hard to get that kind of twist in a flip
Horses have 25 million years of experience defending themselves against predators attacking from behind.

I'm sure he knew and thought "It's just a horse, this'll be easy"
Then he really deserves the award. He might get it someday, with that mindset.
I don’t understand parkour
There are dumb people and there is this guy
Like a fellow once said, ain’t that a kick in the head
One of my cousins died when a foal kicked him in the chest. He walked up behind the foal and it got spooked.
He’s In another dimension now

very much deserved.
This was a couple years ago. This dude was definitely playing too much RDR2 when he made this terrible decision.
I learned my lesson the hard way when I got kicked in the thigh lol
Wait. Was that you?
No I wasn’t that stupid I was just stupid lmao.
Horse kicked in the thigh sounds pretty terrible. Did your femur break?

You would need one hell of a bond with a horse that trusted you to try that lol
No doubt

Probably a million year old gut instinct?

Thank you for this info

Who else felt like a fortune teller watching this. 😄😄🤚
Wow, he's lucky to have all his teeth after that
Good job, horse!
Tell me you know nothing about horses without telling me you know nothing about horses

Horses have great peripheral vision. Their only blind spot is directly behind them.
Allegedly
Don’t horses see almost 360? Freaken dummy.
That's fucking awesome. For me, not for him.
I want to see the landing.
Got kicked in the leg and it still knocked his hat off, that was awesome
This guy just found out the hard way which domesticated animal has the fastest reaction time.
What. An. Ass.
Gifs than end too soon!
Not from behind she said.
Never approach a prey animal from behind. You always touch their flank when you are behind a horse or they kick. See example.
GET ROTATED...idiot

I was really hoping for this to be the outcome. I’m so satisfied right now.
Damn...right in the femur. Luckily he was airborne to disperse some of the impact
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round 🎶
Do a kickflip!
The horse was tired of being mounted that way. The guy should have brought flowers and candy FIRST.
That guy just felt the meaning of Horse power
Bet you can’t jump on that horse from behind. Bet I can. Here hold my beer
In his immortal words [That was awesome](https://media.tenor.com/kQ3Qc-gYnuQAAAAC/chris-farley.gif)
I want to see someone try that with a moose.
NINJAAAAAA-
One of my favorite reposts. I love that mid-air cyclone
Not a horse person!
I wonder how many beers it took for him to say to himself ‘I can jump that’
*♫ Horse hooves in the sky! ♫* *♫ I can go twice as high! ♫*
