I would agree on this aside from yearlings and colts/stallions, they have reasonings for their behaviours and It’s not inherently aggressive but it’s also nothing your doing. Foals will test boundaries, if your job to set them. Stallions and colts from my experience play more roughly and bite more, if you don’t set a clear boundary; they will bite you to play

got booted by my pony that had been labelled as 'naughty', he had mud fever and was just trying to protect his sore legs 😞

Yes, this is true for horses. My 3 year old unaltered Jack is another story…😂

Had a Shetland pony everyone labeled as mean, aggressive and just dont attempt to do anything with her, I dont own her, But the last almost 5 years i have worked with her I realized she was just extremely mistreated, She still has her days where she will threaten to bite if you walk past her but 9/10 times she will allow you to cuddle her and she will stay relaxed and nice.. But these shetlands have definitely shown me that they know what they want and what they don't want, for example getting one out of the pasture is a hastle bc he will buck and run, Then when you catch him he wont leave ur side and nudge you for pets, its genuinely confusing 😭

This exactly! I also disagree completely with that mares are more inherently ‘moody’ or ‘rude’ no they’re not half the time they’re completely misunderstood it took me nearly 2 years to work with my pony up again after being out of work for four years not by her choice no one wanted her anymore and she was forced to have bits in her mouth when she has an extremely sensitive mouth and her owners were made aware of this and she’d Buck and rear and spin etc I trained her bitless and listened to her she trusts me with everything if she does a little excited Buck or goes to kick someone else (she hates women now lol) she’ll only ever do it far away from me she’s the sweetest mare ever and I always listen if she has a problem same with other mares I’ve worked with who have behavioural problems it’s usually down to people who just won’t stop and listen :[

Emma :
TRUTH! I have a very sensitive horse, and the amount of care I can do at liberty without her shying away has increased substantially since I started listening to her and allowing her to say no. ❤️

pretty disrespectful to those who have lost loved ones to horse accidents.

Yes and no. Horses can bite/kick for reasons that arent being detected, even if the owner is being super proactive. There are a lot of issues that cant be seen until a PM so its not necessarily a case of the owner doing something or not.

Gator 🦆 :
Horses are unpredictable and will spin and kick or lunge to bite at any given moment, they might be domesticated but they are prey animals and have that fight or flight instinct in their blood no matter how well you train them, they are born wild and humans are predators, that's why it's important to imprint and handle them every day from the moment they are born, never trust a horse, it's important that the horse trusts you, if you don't know any of that then you don't need to be around them PERIOD, cause it could cost you your life 👍

I get the sentiment, but not completely true in the real world. You can be in the wrong place, accidentally startle, not be aware of where horses are you, they can just be having fun and you can get injured. But you should still always treat horses with kindness regardless

i get what youre trying to say and i love your content, but saying that you can only die/get seriously injured by a horse if you yourself cause the horse pain and discomfort is extremely dangerous. you can get seriously injured just from being around your horse and they spook or correct another horse in the field.

I was walking my yearling past other horses’ stalls and one reached over and bit the back of my shoulder and partially lifted me off the ground. And no, I had never done anything to her.

Okay look ik what you’re trying to say and it’s okay to have your own opinion but horses will always bite and kick and buck even if it’s not specifically towards you.it’s a natural thing that horses have always done especially wild horses that kind of behavior is in their genetics the only reason you’re horse probably doesn’t do it is because whoever trained them when they where a baby corrected that behavior but also some horses have different personalities I’ve had some be perfect angles their whole life and not hurt a sole other then accidentally kicking you when they are excited and running and bucking around a field just because you’re horse is well behaved does not mean everyone else’s will be like baby horses are most likely going to kick or bite you not because they want to but because they have it in their genes to have that type of behavior and they don’t necessarily know how to use it yet

Milos de Verano 🐴 :
So all the vets that have been kicked or bitten, that was their fault? They should’ve just not “given them a reason” to do that? 😅 They should’ve just not treated the horses? Normally I really agree and like your posts, but this is honestly just not a very good take

I think it’s also important to note that the human that gets bit/kicked might be THE person that gave that horse a reason, but the horse has been given a reason by humans in general

val :
big disagree on the bucking. horses do have an inherent desire to buck as a way of communicating, especially green ones. i think what you meant to say is that horses do not buck maliciously. bucking is the instinctual response to something strange on their back, or something strange on their back causing pain or discomfort. this is why trainers need to learn to slow down to avoid bucking - because it is so instinctual
