Thats true... you have to watch their ears when your walking around them, they go back watch out.... I've seen people walk around the back of horse without watching, and get booted.. as soon as you get about 90 degree to the side they can't see you well and get skittish... and that can hurt....When my hubby was a cop in Balto. City, he got assigned to horse detail for a month. He would always get shit detail everytime he would do something wrong....Well, anyway, he was there in the stalls with another cop and this thoroughbred went off and kicked the other cop right in the head. Knocked all his teeth out and he had permanent brain damage.....Horses can be very dangerous, just look what happened to Chritopher Reeves...

The horse I rode was the same, throw everyone else but not me... actually had a mischievous side.. she'd look around and lean on me and gently pin me against the rail or any fence...even riding just stop by a tree and lean.. I swear I heard a giggle once..Evening everyone......
I must of been a dumb kid....I had a pony that I would run up from behind and she would let me jump up on her like that! My brother thought it was all cool so he tried it one day....he got a kick right to the gut!! I warned him this was something special between me and that pony! He would not listen.
