a single moment caught on video and posted online can define and destroy your entire life.

Horses are dangerous to work with. A veterinian in our town was kicked in the head and killed a few years ago.

I would personally have given the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Cue Lieutenant Columbo and his rickety French car. He will solve this in one episode.

I don’t get what the problem is with kicking a horse found dead?

I didn’t see the video but, the idea that a man can hurt a horse by kicking it is silly. Karens everywhere.

Had an Amish client that trained buggy horses for other Amish.

He had one horse that kept laying down, which can be very dangerous if he lays down while hooked to a buggy. It will flip the buggy and can injure or kill the passengers.

He tried everything to get this horse to stand up, short of using the electric shocker which was the absolute last resort as it can traumatize the horse and lead to bigger problems.

Frustrated, he remembered a trick his grandfather told him. He rolled up a newspaper, stuffed it under the horses back end, and lit it on fire. Immediately, the horse jumped up to his feet with no harm done.

Problem was that an English (Anyone that is not Amish) neighbor saw this and as an animal lover, filmed him lighting the newspaper and she turned the video over to the police.

He had a lot of “splaining” to do, but it worked out ok as the horse wasn’t harmed.

Anyone who has worked training horses for years has been mad enough to kick them if horses weren’t so darn tall. If not, they are lying.

My horses got out and in the middle of the night and were on my neighbor’s back patio kicking their trash cans around. We keep their feed in a trash can!
