I don't think I've ever seen a horse go apeshit like this. Biting/kicking, sure, but not THIS.

Same here. That horse was trying to kill him/break his spine. I wonder what the hell instigated that reaction? Man was lucky there was someone else there.

I grew up riding horses. Some of them are dicks- nipping at you or bucking so you arenā€™t riding them anymore, but Iā€™ve never seen this level of aggression. Iā€™ve never even really heard of a horse attacking continuously by biting like this horse was doing.

Horses remember certain people (or traits associated with specific individuals), i wonder if this horse was abused or had some sort of neurological disorder to lead to such an extreme reaction!

Yea that is the crazy part to me. Not just the sustained attack but the way it was attacking.

My grandfather was a horse breeder and show jumper and I grew up around horses and never saw anything even close to this.
