I wanted to tell you thanks for teaching me something. I was in the pen with Stoney (my biting horse) I had moved his food and he came after me - I got cornered in the shelter and he came at me with both hind feet - I was able to fend off the first volley and then he squished me into the corner - I remember you and the burro - hug that rear end and they cannot kick you - well - it certainly works. He tried his best to fold in half so he could bite me but couldn't do that so he would let up and tried kicking again but I was snugged tight to that butt and he couldn't kick me either - he did body slam me into the wall of the shelter but it gave (nice body dent in it now). I don't panic in situations like this but sure broke down after I got out. Not sure if I have some cracked ribs but sure ache all over. But thanks to your teaching, I didn't really get hurt. I am checking into sanctuary for this guy - I just cannot give him the attention he needs - he needs to be an only horse and have someone who loves him. Betty |
