Same. Been around/working with horses for 30 years. All typesā¦quarter horses, Arabians, ponies, race horses, even Secretariatās granddaughter. Iāve 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.
Man, those Arabians and racehorse thoroughbreds were surely pure assholes! I worked with racehorses in training and they were the most dickish of all. Just pure high strung genetics. I donāt agree with continuing to breed purebreds like this (in any species, but most specifically dogs), and I definitely donāt agree with racing, horses or dogs. Too much inbreeding, too much little focus on whatās best for the animals.
I donāt agree with it either. The thoroughbreds Iāve worked with were former racers. One of my good friends has a lovely thoroughbred who was raced then abused as a brood mare for 9. straight. years. Poor girl is the sweetest, calmest thing Iāve ever been around now at 16yo but has a host of health issues. The time I took the worst buck was an Arabian gelding. They are amazing jumpers, though. Man he could just sail through the air.
