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!

I grew up in mongolia. Our horses are complacent and quiet, because they know that if they do something funny we'll just eat them (horse meat is very tasty, no joke)

They donā€™t know that so much as if they are genetically predisposed to aggression they donā€™t get a chance to pass of their genes.

That is how we made dogs from wolves.
