What was the age of the vicious horse? If it was less than 2 years old, there’s no venom in the fangs yet so the bites aren’t that bad.
Back story: 20+ years ago when my older boys were still little, my best friend and I took them to the town agro fair (we’re still one of the towns in Connecticut that has one) There was a petting area with a calf and other critters.
All of the kids were feeding the calf grass and, of course, getting calf slobber all over their hands. Son #3 didn’t want to feed the calf grass because he didn’t want to get slobbered on. My friend says - totally straight face - “Oh, there’s nothing to worry about, the venom hasn’t come into the calf’s fangs yet.”
A woman standing on the other side of my friend says, “Oh, I didn’t realize that cows had fangs.” She totally believed my friend was telling the truth. I thought I would choke trying to hold back my laughter. It’s been a big joke ever since.
Poison horses haw!
Imagine if you’d showed them a horse’s “wolf teeth”.
