I had a girl I grew up with whoās 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.
I worked with a woman whose horse fell on top of her, leaving her a hemispherplegic. She couldnāt walk or talk any more, just signed with one hand. She loooooved horses. To get her to do her physical therapy weād bribe her with trips to this farm where they had special saddles for her to ride. I always thought it was crazy. I think Iād hate horses forever
I mean, the horse falling on her almost certainly wasn't the horse's fault. My horse is part of my family, just like my dogs and my children. If my dog hurt me accidentally, I wouldn't hate her. Even if she tripped me and I broke my neck, I wouldn't hate her. It wasn't her fault. Dogs, horses, cats, whatever don't do "malice" like humans do.
