I was kicked by my pony when I was little. I had a perfect imprint of a horse shoe on my chest for quite some time after that. There was no Internet back then, so my story didn't make to the international news headlines.
OK - I give up - what's with all the horse-kicking stories? I believe that's five now.
Did you have a bad experience with horses as a child?
Will you quit horsing around?!?
Horse control! Ban assault shoes!
Anybody who is stupid enough to ride a motorscooter around horses at a show is looking for a kicking. The best mannered horses will spook and kick at a noisy moving object that buzzes behind them. And horse shows with their noise and commotion and strange horses in close quarters make almost every horse more edgy than normally.
And if eight is considered too young to know better, his PARENTS should have kept him off the scooter and away from the equines.
Horses and unsupervised dumb children don't mix. I have been kicked, stepped on, crushed against walls, bitten, covered with snot, and thrown from horses many times. Unless you are willing to be physically challenged by a 1,000 + lb. animal, you shouldn't mess with horsies.
Why is it every time I come into General interests theres about 10 articles relating to some animal causing bodily harm on humans? Pit Bulls, Horses, whats next? Hamsters?
Say ambrose, what's up with the new gig?
Who was riding -- the horse or the kid? What was the horse riding?
Final observation: musta been one ugly kid, to spook a horse so....
