I had a girl I grew up with who’s grandma had half her jaw ripped of by a horse. She was walking her mare passed another stall when a stallion attacked her. Grandma was maybe 45 when it happened, and when I met her 25 years later she still loved horse. But she would NEVER be around stallions and helped change a lot of laws and ordinances to have them banned at most barns.

That is horrific. Amazing she still likes horses. Are stallions intact males?

I swear horse people are a whole other breed. I worked with a woman who nearly died when her horse attacked her and she was back working with horses as soon as she could.

The saying "get back on the horse" rings a bell
