“Horse do stuff. Horses are dangerous. Even the most gentle horse weighs at least a thousand pounds, and few of them have much sense of responsibility. If you ride, you’re taking a risk. It’s part of the deal, and lawsuits don’t change that. If you don’t want to risk injury or death, don’t ride.”

Hear hear. Even the most gentle animals still have personalities. They can be easily startled. My dog is very gentle... just don’t get between him and a squirrel or chipmunk.

Maybe the horse saw a sewer rat. Or Chuck Rangel doing a real estate deal behind a tree. That’d make me jump.

Seventy-five percent of the time when horses act up, it’s due to pilot error.
