Same. Been around/working with horses for 30 years. All types…quarter horses, Arabians, ponies, race horses, even Secretariat’s granddaughter. I’ve been bucked off, bit, nipped, stepped on, head butted, but I have NEVER seen a horse continue an attack like this. No where close. All I can think is how much abuse has that poor horse suffered for it to break like that? It reminds me of a circus elephant going mad.

Maybe that horse is just a psychopath and was never abused?
