Meanest Horse Ever?

[Honu]

Pete showed me the hematoma that he has, it goes from about the middle of his stomach all the way around past the middle of his back. I gotta tell ya its one of the nastiest things Ive ever seen completely black and so swollen he looks like he is having a side pregnancy. The horse struck the outrider on her right leg as she was trying to catch it and she also has black bruises on her thigh and calf.

I've never heard of anything like this happening. I know that some horses are territorial around their stall and will bite people that come near them in their stall but I've never heard of a horse attacking people on the track. Have you ever heard of an incident like this?

I havent heard of anything to this extent, some studs will try and bite the crap out of you when your on the pony or will try and mount the pony but usually a poke to the eye or a slap to the face gets their attention. I guess this horse had a reputation for going after the gate crew also when they would try and school him at the gate. To be honest an unraced 4 yr old that mean prolly should have just had a bullet between his eyes.

Thanks for the update. Glad everyone was okay, all things considered.

I've heard that Megahertz was a nasty little pipsqueak. No first-hand sources, but I've heard it more than once.

Maybe a horse as tiny as she was tends to overcompensate?

All I ever read about Whirlaway included some comment about how nuts he was.

I can't imagine a horse could be meaner or more of a terror to be around than Virginia Rapids.

I heard when Storm Cat was in his younger days was too much to handle for Team Lukas and all of his future Hall of Fame assistant trainers.

i think that was because of his racing antics, not any meanness. from some of what i read, his trainer was a nut! i think it was him that the trainer sat on a horse not far off the rail and had the jock point whirlaway to the gap between him and the rail.
