This happened last September and she’s suing now? What, did she think her finger would grow back?

When I was a kid we were going through a line to see Roy Rogers horse Trigger, the idiot woman in front of us got her finger bit off by Trigger.

He just chewed it for awhile and spit it out.

Because that idiot got her finger bit off I didn’t get to meet Roy Rogers.

He never bit anyone again - so I don’t know for certain why he was so vicious that one time.

Maybe that was the last time you wore that green apple cologne.

Wow! That’s almost better than actually meeting Roy.

“Roy always said, ‘When I’m dead, skin me and put me up on Trigger,’” she said. “It’s a famous quote. If he got his wish, he’d be up here for sale today.”

Hey Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?

For making me miss meeting RR, I'm still glad she got her finger bit off.

Over 20 years later I met her grandson at the place I was working in Houston.

He was as much of a dumb ass as his grandmother. Lasted about 2 days.

I think she had to work on her story. I don't know anything about horses and I really feel sorry for this lady. It must be incredibly traumatic to have part of your finger bit off. But her story doesn't make sense. She claims she was standing there taking pictures when the horse came up and bit her finger off. I guess it's possible a horse associates a hand with food and he did just walk over and take a bite out of her. Or, maybe she's not being completely honest and was feeding him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid woman. This is entirely her fault. What an idiot. Why do people assume that every horse they see is a gentle little horsie, just like the family Labrador? Now the taxpayers are going to be out millions of dollars just because she’s an idiot who thought it would be okay to let her grandchildren mess with strange horses. What if it was the baby’s hand, you idiot woman? What if it was his face?

Horses can’t see at the end of their noses, any more than we can. A long pinkish tan thing waving around down there can look very much like a carrot. Let your fingers get too close to the face of a strange horse and you may indeed lose one.

My FIL got bit last year by a filly and he is a big guy. It looked like his bicep would fall off. He has farmed all his life.The horse came over a fence at him because he was trying to train her not to paw the fence at feeding.

I am constantly amazed by how stupid and arrogant people are about animals. Me neighbor’s dog (GS) almost attacked my one year old because she was holding our cat. (he got the cat later but I don’t mind that) Anyway I told him the dog is dead next time I see it out. He actually got mad at me. What a friggin idiot. BTW he is a NY bleeding hear lib. But I haven’t seen his dog in two years. He knows I am a good hunter. I’d pop that thing and sleep with a song in my heart!

Solution: Ball up fist punch horse in the nose, repeat as needed.

Where are the Sun-Times’ copy editors? In horses, chestnut is a color. Chestnut gelding is correct.
