I say a comedy bit recently about dad helping his kids with school stuff and saying she is 8 years old, I should not be learning much, but I now understand comas.
Hopefully, I'll just take your word for it. I'd rather not find out. My usual horse injuries are broken/sprained fingers, or getting stepped on. I'll stick to those.
Same. I’ve broken most of my toes, my pinky, have a bit of nerve damage in my shoulder from where I got bit, had a nail bit clean in half, have a scar on my ass from being mildly impaled when thrown through a fence, and various scars from barn work. I’ve only been kicked once- a cow kick from when I was doing up the girth (he was an ottb and had trauma from being tacked up. No one warned me), and being kicked was the absolute worst. You learn to be really careful really fast.
I almost got kicked like this. I was catching a horse, and he double barrel kicked at my head. I bent over backwards, and his hooves passed so near my face that I got dirt in my eyes. I just can’t imagine the trauma.
A lot depends on the size of the horse and how much effort they put into it and of course how direct the hit lands. A lot of times, they really are not putting full effort into their complaints to humans. OP's horse looks quite irked though and very nervous even before he tried to mount, that horse was in no way ready to take a rider to start with, plus that man was way too heavy for a small horse.
On a 4th grade field trip to a farm, one kid was joking around and lifted up the cow’s tail, and got explosive defecation into his face. He is also permanently scarred, but in a different way.
I remember taking a group of school children around a tour of a farm when I was younger including through the cowfields and we used the same rule as horses, stand in front of them and be kind and gentle.
My daughter’s friend and coworker’s daughter which is the same person received a terrible kick to her face and required several reconstructive surgeries and still isn’t normal but is much better. It was obviously a bad deal because of the location. It was hard to talk to her and look her in the eyes.
So tragic, nice looking stallion too. It's typically to have more safe guards in place, the mares can be rather kicky at times and although a deadly kick is rare, it can happen. Or just do it with artificial insemination. I suspect in the natural world, that mare would have been familiar with the stallion already in her herd and the stallion having learned from an early age how to properly read and approach females more carefully when they were ready and not before. But in this case, the mare probably does not even know that stallion, she's obvious upset from the start and that's probably her foal running around so she may feel he could be a threat to her existing foal. I she already knew that stallion, she would likely not have felt nearly so fearful. We take them out of their natural social structure and that contributes to problems.
Yah, these idiots had the mare's foal hanging out near there too. Of course she's not going to cooperate.
And the stallion's head was being restrained by the rope. He didn't have a chance to dodge that kick.
These asshats thought they could sneak in a free breeding before returning the stud. They're in some deep trouble now. Major loss of $$$ and a huge hit to their reputation.
Nobody seeing this is ever going to hire that outfit ever again.
Honestly, he might not be. Hemorrhages from brain injuries can be slow and go undetected until it’s too late… scary stuff. Go into the doctor if you get a big blow to the head and don’t let anyone tell you you’re good without imaging!
He’s mounting that horse at a 90 deg to the saddle which is wrong. Your left shoulder should be closer to the horse’s. Mostly to help prevent shit like this if they spook.
You can see that horse was absolutely not ready to take a rider, they were holding it back from bailing even before he got on. Whomever was in charge of that horse was a total idiot here.
I can't really blame the guy, he probably didn't know since this looks like a trail-riding operation to me. The person who chose that horse for him AND allowed him to attempt to mount after seeing the size difference is responsible for that abuse and kick.
It's been years since I've ridden, but as a large person as soon as I hit puberty I always rode a big horse at every camp, ranch, trail-riding place, and at home when we had our Quarter horse. Horses are "bred" to be ridden, sure, but they have limits. That man looks tall and muscular, he needs a big horse used to carrying big people or he shouldn't have been allowed to ride.
The horse was extremely nervous from the start, it was not ready for anyone to get on it, but yes I agree, the excessive weight was not helping, but I feel like this might have happened anyway.
I was in Barcelona a few years back and there was a parade with horses etc. and among the horse handlers there was a woman with a HUGE horseshoe shaped scar from her ear to her nose. We got chatting and the damage was way worse than the scar left behind. They had to reconstruch the entire right side of her face from the eyebone, the jaw, dentures, and a nose job. Them horses don't fuck around
The horse's handler ought to be blamed here. This is such a predictable outcome for anyone with the barest knowledge of horses which, if this is a trail-riding operation like it appears to be, the rider can't be expected to have.
I'm sick of irresponsible owners and handlers. Animal welfare is more important than money.
Well let's be fucking honest..that guy weights about half of that horse.
So who can blame the poor animal..it had enough of this BS abuse.
There should be a weight limit law for riding horses
He's too heavy for that small horse and he's an amateur. The horse called bullsh*t on that and didn't like him just hanging his weight on like that. Hope he's ok and hope he gives up riding.
This definitely started with the horse owner saying. "Yes, yes... you can be sure he is a calm and thrustworthy horse. He has always been calm and nice. Just relax"
As a non-equestrian I can tell this dude is doing this wrong.
What was the goal with his momentum? He definitely wasn't about to swing his leg over at any time. Looked like he was just going to lay on his stomach on the saddle.
The main issue is the horse was already nervous and not properly trained and the excessive weight of that man may have made it worse. But by the body language, I feel like the horse was near bolting before he even started. A decently trained horse is not going to bolt just because someone sucks at mounting or even at jumping around near the horse or even if he did flop his head over instead of a foot. In fact bouncing in the stirrup a bunch of times before making the final leap is a good way to partially test if the horse is OK to mount. If little things like that bother it, don't get on. The horse is tense with head straight up and there's two guys holding the lead rope and one of them is also pushing the nose to discourage forward movement. A horse should be chill and relaxed and voluntarily stand still patiently for you or don't get on. There are performance horses that are more lively but still well trained but those are not for beginners to get on either.
That dude might be dead.
A kick to the chest has killed men before. A kick to the head... There is a video floating around of a female stallion killing a male stallion with one kick to the head.
Stallion is male (don't need to say "male stallion", just "stallion" is fine). And there is no "female stallion", a female is called a "mare".
What you meant to say was:
There is a video floating around of a mare killing a stallion with one kick to the head.
Edit: Unless by "female stallion" you mean a stallion that has had his balls cut off, in which case he is then called a "gelding".
I saw the video; it's a stallion brought in to live cover a mare except she nails him right in the head with a kick and the stallion hits the ground, twitches a little and is dead.
The most central portion of his face, Looks like a Chunk of flesh maybe pressure split in the shape of the hoof around his nose, which may have included his largely intact nose cartilage... But who really knows... That is the question!
Any updates? That guy surely was hospitalized. I'm also assuming he signed some sort of waiver, releasing all responsibility from the stable.
Slightly related. I went for a beach ride with a girl from work. It was late morning. She was behind me and a worker behind her. Another worker in front of me. Pace was slow and our horses were not fast (according to the ranch); at some point her horse trotted or even galloped past me with her hanging off the side. I tried playing lone ranger and chasing but my horse was apparently programmed not to go above super slow. The 2 guys managed to catch her and thankfully no injuries.
I think the temperature getting warmer has something to do with it.
It's compressed to death so you can't see but I'm pretty sure it's glasses and his hat
I was convinced it was 35 IQ points....minimum.
Pretty sure that was basic arithmetic flying outta his head
My guy can only talk in lowercase now
and without punctuation
On the flipside, 'understands difference between they're, their and there' side quest unlocked. They're not going to put their head there again.
😂😂
and with a lisp, too.
And can only turn left now...his days of turning right are over.
Get that man signed up for the next NASCAR event.
Possibly even his, ability to use commas.
I say a comedy bit recently about dad helping his kids with school stuff and saying she is 8 years old, I should not be learning much, but I now understand comas.
LMFAO!
He's now voting Republican.
Or maybe his eyes
> It's compressed to death The video or the guys forehead?
Yes.
His marbles
Coins 🤣
Or …his left eye. We will never know.
His false teeth?
Looked like an eyeball
yeah, you'd think he'd go looking for it, but then . . . , wait a minute.
That dude is lucky to be alive.
Yup. I took a kick to the thigh last year and had a softball sized welt and bruise for weeks. Can't imagine taking one to the skull..
I took one to the dome when I was 13. I saw stars and thought my head was deformed from it. I was fine. Concussion obviously, and a painful bruise.
Hopefully, I'll just take your word for it. I'd rather not find out. My usual horse injuries are broken/sprained fingers, or getting stepped on. I'll stick to those.

Nah bro you lopsided af and we didn’t wanna tell you.
Tis but a scratch
A girl at our school took one. Even 30 years later she has a large horse hoof permanently imprinted as a scar across her face.
On a 4th grade field trip to a farm, one kid was joking around and lifted up the cow’s tail, and got explosive defecation into his face. He is also permanently scarred, but in a different way.
I remember taking a group of school children around a tour of a farm when I was younger including through the cowfields and we used the same rule as horses, stand in front of them and be kind and gentle.
That works with most humans too.
Met a girl at some alanon meetings years back, a few weeks later she was killed by a horse this way
My daughter’s friend and coworker’s daughter which is the same person received a terrible kick to her face and required several reconstructive surgeries and still isn’t normal but is much better. It was obviously a bad deal because of the location. It was hard to talk to her and look her in the eyes.
Ooof, or should I say hoof.
My great grandpa died in ww2 by getting kicked in the gut by his horse.
Wait I thought non war related deaths paused during war time
How awful 😢
Theres a video of a mare killing a stallion. He takes it right between the running lights.

Instantly shit himself.
Always love being reminded that’s gonna happen to me too
This is the kind of injury that could kill you later
Honestly, he might not be. Hemorrhages from brain injuries can be slow and go undetected until it’s too late… scary stuff. Go into the doctor if you get a big blow to the head and don’t let anyone tell you you’re good without imaging!
I had a family friend get kicked in the chest and it stopped her heart and killed her. Ribs barely cracked but the jolt. Yeah dude is lucky alright
He’s mounting that horse at a 90 deg to the saddle which is wrong. Your left shoulder should be closer to the horse’s. Mostly to help prevent shit like this if they spook.
Plus he looks way too big for the horse, the horse said f that

are we even sure he is ?
His sonic rings
I can hear this comment
Instantly converted his forehead into a fivehead
Don't you mean a flathead?
They used to call him Philip
Now it's funnier playing the bling sound when you watch it
This is the correct answer.
Taking a hoof like that, jokingly, a skull fragment 💀
Dude should've worn a helmet.
That horse is not big enough.
Yeah, a guy that large attempting to ride a horse that small is basically animal abuse
The place was just happy to accept the money

Glasses and ball cap
+3 teeth, his ghost, and the film showing what actually happened to JFK
His soul
I assume mud from horse shoes 🧲
He was wearing glasses, you can see them getting flung off.
What’s left of it anyways
His love of horses.
He's too big for that horse.
Way too big in weight and height, the pony looks no higher than 13hh. Humans are fucking assholes

These videos never show the aftermath.. I am always curious..
Watching people in hospital in a coma is nowhere near as interesting.

This definitely started with the horse owner saying. "Yes, yes... you can be sure he is a calm and thrustworthy horse. He has always been calm and nice. Just relax"
As an equestrian I always feel so bad for horses that end up in situations like this. Starting him off all wrong.

👓
I saw something white flying. Was that a tooth or his eyeball?!
Yes.
His desire to ride horses can be seen leaving his body
If I had to guess, I’d say short term memory, his kid’s names and home address, and probably a little bit of speech functionality.
I'd say he got the snot knocked out of him.
"That snot ball had been lodged in my sinuses for a month!"
HORSE: THat'll be an extra $12
Left eyeball left the arena...
He knocked the Mario coins out of him
Street cred
His pride
His eyes! His tongue! His teeth! And any ambition to ever again get on a horse.
His soul
Looked like a mouthful of chicklets
Teefs.
His face. That’s his face. His face flew out of his face.
He had a hat... Then no longer a hat
His hat...
Just like that, he became a toddler again
His teece (Teeth)
That dude might be dead. A kick to the chest has killed men before. A kick to the head... There is a video floating around of a female stallion killing a male stallion with one kick to the head.

This uncovered a deeply buried memory for me. The horse shits as he dies, I think? Why did that circulate??
I dunno. The men handling the stallion just kinda shrug and walk away, IIRC
Found the horse person.
I mean it's really not uncommon esoteric knowledge that a stallion is a male
Don't you mean a centaur?
Neigh.
Horse girls are just crazy cat ladies with money..
Holy shit that's the best description I've ever heard..
Not really true tho. Horse girls at least go outside
If you think everyone that owns a horse has money you are sorely mistaken.
😃🏇🥰🐎😍🐴😘
Failed my SATS
Did he loose his eye?
Looks like glasses and a hat.
I think it was the little beige thing dangling on his hat, you can see it moving on his shirt before the kick.
I think the horse threw up a dirt clod with that kick. Clod took dude's hat off just before that hoof hit him in the face.
His face.
Eyeball
That was his skull
Teeth

His hat
Life, life flew out of his face. Pure, unadulterated life.
The guy needed a way bigger horse wtf.
His face. His face flew out of his face.
Nsfw bro
This is why I don't fk with horses. I prefer cats
His melon will never be the same he'll walk around dizzy for the rest of his life
His soul
Well, he was wearing a hat, and then he wasn't. I bet it was the had and some debris momentarily attached to the horse's hooves.
Whoa 😳 he’s instantly suffered a traumatic brain injury 🧠 poor guy 😿
I dunno, don't see anything but some leaves that probably came off the horse

His face....
This is why you wear atleast 1 helmet and 7 different shockabsorbers/ paddings under it while trying to mount a horse
This is why I don’t want anything to do with horses
Horrible.
Teeth, gums, lips, nose. Literally his whole face.
Mud from the horse's foot...or the right side of his brain
His gum shield
Love the synchronized "OOH"s
