January 9, 200719 yr ow when i read this post i thought the some one grabed a hot brand...... i think id rather pick up a hot brand then get kicked by a horse :(
January 10, 200719 yr i felt very bad for laughing when i watched that, i bet that hurt for months, i know now, i will never try to brand a horse, id kick someone if they tried that to me Ron
January 10, 200719 yr Ouch! I had a big old race horse kick me just about like that when I was 12 yrs old. He hit me above the knee and just below the hip on the right leg (quads). It was quite a serious injury although it did not break my leg. You might say it left quite an impression on my mind also. That is why I never, never considered becoming a Farrier. Be safe! Ted
January 11, 200719 yr Having done a little farrier work (enough to know my knees dislike it enough that the money ain't worth it), I can tell you he was standing exactly where a horse instinctivly kicks when attacked from behind. If he had stood beside the ribcage it likely would have worked. ron
January 12, 200719 yr Yea, when I watched I kinda thought the guy was a moron, he stood in the exact position for receiving a kick. Poor sap. Also, I was reminded that with cattle, don't they pinch them in a pen to hold them for a brand or tag? I thought it was odd that the horse was just standing in a stall to receive a brand..
