I want a horse
Sad thing about this picture is how many people will blame the horse instead of the kid's shitty fucking parents.
>>2094162
>this kills the kid
>>2094263
We need more trained attack horses to kill feral chitlins.
>>2094162
Is he kill??
>>2094203
Thats because its the horses action. Fucking animal apologists, ever time.
My family has raised cattle since they got off the boat from Ireland, when we get a crazy one, we get rid of it, no exceptions. Large animals aren't some shitty toy dog that bites ankles, they are big stupid dangerous sacks of instincts. The people responsible for that kid getting nipped are the horses trainer, and the horses breeder who didn't do a good enough job breeding temperament out of it.
>>2094162
when i was a little boy a horse almost bit my fingers off.
>>2094555
and the people who keep an animal that was designed to move 20 hours a day in a 10x10 box and expect it not to develop psychological problems.
>>2094162
But really, what happened to the kid? Is he dead? When and where did it happen?
>>2094561
Most responsible horse owners have pasture for horses to graze. You can't just keep a horse in a stall and feed it hay 20 hours a day, only the worst owners would do something like that. Where I live it is very uncommon. If you know for a fact this goes on near you I strongly suggest you report the offenders. If you are just talking out your uninformed ass then I suggest you lurk moar.
>>2094555
Yes, because God forbid shitty parents be held accountable for shitty parenting and not preventing their child from ending up in harm's way in the first place.
>>2094582
And yet, many boarding barns do just that. Stall board full-care only and exercise is up to the owners to provide (or not).
Where I live it is uncommon also because land is cheap enough to provide pasture turnout daily, or pasture board, or even individual paddocks, but just go 50 miles closer to the city and it becomes much more prevalent.
If you've truly been sheltered from this kind of horse owner, I could say "congratulations" but pull your head out of the sand if you believe it is rare.
They feed em sweet feed, wet COB, alfalfa, and stall them when they aren't being ridden. Don't get down to ride for three, four, five days... Horse gets his stall cleaned daily (full care, no turnout) and then Miss Too Busy owner comes down to ride and has to longe for two hours before horse is too exhausted to act up at the mounting block.
>>2094569
Ya wtf is the context here...
>>2094658
The context is kids are retarded and deserve to get hurt.
>>2094674
Children never deserve to be hurt.
by definition: no, actually you don't
>>2094582
TNFag here. I wouldn't say super rural, but square mile + lots aren't nonexistent here.
The horse owners nearest me have a plot of land that the horses hang out on, and the'll walk one around town every other day or so if the weather is nice. Leaves monster-sized shits at the park, though.
>>2094704
ugly ones do
I hate horses. We have a team of Belgium's at work that I am in charge of feeding, one day the mean one decided she didn't want me in her stall and kicked at me. I was quick enough to not get all my ribs shattered, but I jumped up to the pocket and spooked her, so she took off running, and in the process ran me through a wall made of 2x6. I ended up with a pretty good cut on my side, but no other injuries. Cut my ass chewed out because she had a nick on her leg, but I just reminded the boss I'm the only one who will work with the fucker.
Since we got them, that one horse damn near killed a little girl (admittedly more the fault of the boss) gave the last caretaker stitches after biting his arm while he was pouring feed, and cracked the bosses rib by smashing her up against the wall.
I really fucking hate horses.
>>2094777
Belgians. Belgians are from Belgium.
>>2094674
>the kid is retarded for walking past the horse's stable minding his own business
Let me guess: the horse dindu nuffin
>>2094783
Today I learned.
>>2094794
The point is the parents probably knew the horse was a biter (or didn't care enough to find out). Basic fucking parenting 101 - don't let your kid around strange animals if you don't want their shit fucked up.
>>2094555
You can't blame a horse for being a horse, horses are retarded and no animals can be trusted. All animal are unpredictable.
You have to be a really shitty parent to let an unattended child wander around large animals that can kill a fully grown man.
>>2094569
>>2094658
The fuck are you conspiracy theorists on about? This is literally a picture of horse with its open mouth close to a child.
>Dide he DIED!!!
>Horses are killing machine, evidenced by this imge DDDXXX
>Parents should be executed IMHOFAM
I've been around horses much of my life, and all horse bites I've gotten were really more like pinches, and more annoying than anything. Horses do this to be assholes, never to injure. Their mouths are fuck-long and you would need tremendous torque to apply enough force at the tip to cause serious damage. Behind the incisors there is a harmless gap, and at the end of the mouth is were all the heavy duty chewing is taking place. Someone fact check me on this. Horses can be dangerous by kicking, like this anon said >>2094777
>>2095152
Equine bites fucking hurt. Sure they don't rip into you but it can break some skin(ive never seen a remotely deep one) but they leave one fuck of a bruise.
>Behind the incisors there is a harmless gap
Not exactly true. Plenty have canines/wolf teeth. I got a male horse skull on my desk with some impressive ones. They aren't used for anything but I'd imagine it'd make a pretty puncture.
>>2095160
Sometimes deer have this too but its much rarer in deer. Not sure if cows or sheep ever get them.
>>2095152

Yeah, ok.
>>2095167
>don't fuck with an animal that can literally step on you and kill you
I wish horses/bulls knew how much they weighed. Like I want them to just rear up and fucking stamp on the ground and crush people.
>>2094801
This desu.
This kid looks abput the age of my son >2 years.
I love animals to bits but I sure as hell ain't trusting one with him.
I don't trust cats, especially not dogs and NO FUCKING HORSES!
the bigger the animal the bigger the danger and he's not staying alone without my supervision even if I hand trained it myself.
>>2095152
Horse bites are serious business. Anyone who has spent any amount of time around horses will know this. I call troll on you.
>>2094597
> be at mall with my kid
> terrorist shoots up mall
> kid dies
> my fault, shitty parenting
>>2095152
The guy from work got stitches from his horse bite, but it's possible that is from pulling his arm away while still between the teeth.
>>2095161
Cattle and sheep don't have top teeth.
>>2095174
War horses of old would do this, rodeo bulls do this all the time. In fact there was one bull in Brazil that would jump up and flip over so that he would land on the rider.
>>2095152
I knew a girl who had to go to the hospital because a trail horse bit her really hard on the tit. Her tit turned out okay, but the bruising was disgusting.
horses scare the shit out of me
they could kill you so easily
Horses give crushingly powerful bites. They can easily break a human's arm with the strength of their bite.
Then, you have raking damage from their teeth. That's pretty gnarly.
And don't forget the TREMENDOUS torque they can exert with their neck. With the strength in his jaw and neck, horse can easily pick up and THROW an adult human. Imagine the damage when the horse does not let go, but instead just holds on and twists.
When I was a kid a horse bit the front of a girls chest at school. It was around the top of the clavicle and near her right shoulder. It tore a huge chuck on her muscle, not off but sort of ripped it so it was hanging. I wasn't a fan of horses since.
>>2094162
Seriously though, what happened to the kid?
>>2095266
If you think this is anywhere near a logical comparison you should kill yourself immediately.
>>2094263
it's kid's fault for having hair that looks like hay
>>2095167
>that third video
based hoarse
>>2095167
Faggot in the first video likely deserved it. Kudos to the horse for not putting up with being tortured by shitskins anymore.
>>2094801
>Basic fucking parenting 101 - don't let your kid around strange animals if you don't want their shit fucked up.
>Basic property ownership 101- don't leave dangerous property unmarked and unguarded where it can hurt someone unless you want a lawsuit to fuck your shit up.
ftfy
you know, just in case you ever own something.
>>2095290
Neither do deer but canines pop up in cervines and I don't even mean the musk deer. Camelids also do not have upper teeth but they have huge canines.
It pops up in quite a few ungulates, I am just unsure if it's ever been recorded in cattle and caprids.
>>2095603
Actually look up equine law dipshit, you get hurt by a horse it's your fault. They're inherently dangerous animals.
>>2095618
>Actually look up equine law dipshit,
lol
you're gonna have to show me that one, champ.
in the US if you own a dangerous animal it's YOUR job to make sure it doesn't hurt people.
>>2095662
Literally the first fucking result on Google you fucking idiot.
http://www.americanequestrian.com/equinelaws.htm
>Landowner liability – and the understanding of it – can be a critical factor in horse access to property. Liability is determined on a state-by-state basis, and in most states is governed by two sets of laws: Activity Statutes and Recreational Use Statutes.
>Equine activity statutes are enacted to protect horsemen, camps, stables, and other horse providers from frivolous lawsuits arising out of horse accidents that could not have been avoided.
>The statutes provide that a person may not bring a lawsuit if the accident resulted from an inherent risk of equine activities. They also spell out what risks - such as providing defective tack or failing appropriately to match horse with rider - are not inherent and therefore fair game for a lawsuit.
>In many of the states that have enacted these statutes, the equine provider must post notices or include notices in contracts, or both, to bring their operations under the statute's protection. These notices must contain exactly the words required by that state's statute.
As far as the signs go, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find an equine facility that's open to the public that DOESN'T have one posted, as they're cheap, easy to get, and required by most insurance companies that provide insurance to equine businesses.
So yeah, feel free to come back when you're not an underage retarded shitposter that doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.
>>2095662
equines are a legal tender you fool, why do I even bother trying to discuss things with people who know nothing about the law?
>>2095666
>equines are a legal tender you fool
lol
>>2095665
yes, my state has those laws as well as laws protecting skiers.
People regularly sue horse owners and skiers anyways.
you may be right about the signs though. If the owner has marked the danger and taken reasonable steps to protect people from that danger, then they've done exactly what I said must be done.
those laws appear to be designed to protect owners from suits related to normal accidents. A horse biting a toddler's head off might not be considered a normal accident arising from normal use.
>>2095668
Being bitten/kicked fall under the statutory inherent risk definition in every state that has "inherent risk" defined for equine activities.
And if you knowingly bring your child somewhere dangerous, see a sign stating as such, and still allow your child to wander unsupervised, guess what? In the eyes of the law, you're to blame for whatever happens. As the child's legal guardian YOU are legally responsible for keeping them from harm, not everybody else around you.
>>2095670
>if you knowingly bring your child somewhere dangerous, see a sign stating as such, and still allow your child to wander unsupervised, guess what? In the eyes of the law, you're to blame for whatever happens.
those laws have no particular effect in a civil suit unless the person was riding.
and before they ride they'll have to sign a waiver. Even then the owner of the horse can still be sued if they fuck up.
>>2095673
>those laws have no particular effect in a civil suit unless the person was riding.
Incorrect.
>>2095673
>and before they ride they'll have to sign a waiver
Also incorrect. Some states require waivers, others don't.
>>2095673
>Even then the owner of the horse can still be sued if they fuck up.
If I'm boarding my horse somewhere, I can't be there to watch it 24/7. If you bring your little snotnose brat to the barn and fail to keep it leashed, and my horse bites it, no, I can't be held liable. If anything you'd have to sue the stable owners, and if they have the required signage up you're likely shit out of luck in most instances.
I've been in this business for over 20 years, kid. I've yet to have a successful lawsuit brought against me, though people have tried on a few occasions.
>>2095676
if we agree that in most states you're required to post signs and take reasonable steps to keep newbs out of dangerous situations and in most states the legal protection requires the newb signing or acknowledging a legal waiver,
then we're in agreement.
if you have a dangerous animal it's YOUR job to protect people from it.
>If anything you'd have to sue the stable owners,
yes, that's why I included the part about owning property in my first post there.
if you ever own land (seems unlikely) you'll find this sort of stuff is covered in your liability insurance.
>I've been in this business for over 20 years, kid.
I know, bitter old woman that's been wrangling for 2 decades and still doesn't know the law because she can't afford acreage.
it's ok. It doesn't matter. You've got nothing worth suing you for.
The amount of absolutely worthless made-up garbage pertaining to equine liability law is TOO DAMN HIGH. Christ on a crutch. Stop responding to the trolls already!
>>2095677
Please, do tell me where your multi-million dollar stable is at on its seven hundred acres and tell me about all the lawsuits you've had to pay out in all of your experience in the horse business, and why you're still in it since the law apparently doesn't do jack shit to protect you from litigious assholes.
See, I can be retarded too, Anon!
>>2095678
I'm not trolling.
I've actually learned something here today.
a couple things actually.
that states DO protect horse owners from liability to some extent,
and the jackasses on /an/ think that gives them carte blanche to kill toddlers.
at least half of that is interesting stuff.
Horses are innocent
>>2095681
>and the jackasses on /an/ think that gives them carte blanche to kill toddlers
No, we just expect you to not be a shit parent and actually - you know - PARENT your fucking child.
>>2095680
I own land in Colorado.
I have liability insurance, if you sue me you sue state farm. Whether or not they pay you is none of my business.
>>2095683
>we just expect you to not be a shit parent and actually - you know - PARENT your fucking child.
juries are rarely so jaded or hateful. Especially when a kid gets hurt. They hate that.
>>2095681
I bet you're the kind of retard who thinks people who make porn should be legally liable for damaging poor little Timmy's psyche when he stumbles across it because you couldn't be assed to monitor his internet usage.
>>2095687
I never once said I support the current tort system.
I merely said it will bite you in the ass.
If you own property.
otherwise you'll probably never run into it.
>>2095685
The overwhelming majority of civil cases don't go before a jury because it's too much of a pain in the ass for all parties involved. And if you're actually stupid enough that you're implying this is some kind of criminal offense, we're done here.
>>2095694
>The overwhelming majority of civil cases don't go before a jury because it's too much of a pain in the ass for all parties involved
absolutely, but the suit is filed and then settled.
in the case of the poor waif in OP's picture, his retarded parents would likely make millions if he's disfigured or killed.
>>2095167
>second video
>>2095167
It's funny how because most of the time horses are just chilling in fields, you never really think about how damn brutal they can be if they focus on a single target.
Like that first video, that horse wasn't even that big by horse standards. I can't imagine a more robust eventing type horse hulking out on someone.
>>2095174
I knew a horse at a riding camp that did exactly that. He decided he didn't like the way the little girl was riding him, so he threw her, then backed up and stomped on her leg really hard. She needed all kinds of stitches. No one was allowed to ride him after that. We weren't even supposed to go near him, but I would sneak over and feed him baby carrots. He was kind of a pal for me, he just had a really low tolerance and should not have been a trail horse to begin with.
