Casey Tibbs savage video

[Pedigree Ann]

The most famous instance of one horse trying to 'savage' a horse whom he can't get past is the 1980 Tremont S, which was immortalized by the NYRA award-winning photo. Golden Derby had a lead and wasn't knuckling under to Great Prospector's run, so GP snaked his head around with teeth bared. Great photo. It is titled "The Savage", image should be available somewhere.

In fact, I found it here: http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladv...226&i=15277414

Some TB's are so competitive that if they can't run faster than the other horse, they try to intimidate it into submitting.

PS. GP's sire, Mr. Prospector was a hyper-competitive horse who also tried to enforce his position with his teeth on more than one occasion, according to an elderly gentleman I know, who witnessed many of his races. Mr. P's biggest contribution to the breed may have been his will to win.

Bull rider

Boy, howdy! That's selling Mr. Tibbs short. He was champion all-round rodeo cowboy back in the days when rodeo cowboys were cowboys first, before they became 'pro athletes.'

It was me a few weeks ago. Got a huge framed picture of it here in my living room. Great picture except for the part of the finger on the right

Ears go back, big rubbery horse lips bare those
teeth, get back. That really, really hurts.

Has anyone else been bitten on the shoulder
and had their clavicle pinched back?

pgardns rule while in barn:

never turn your back on a horse in a stall unless
more than a neck+head distance away.
Also never wear running shoes in barn.
Black toenails fall off after stepped on.

If you think running shoes are bad, try wearing flip flops. Hahaha

Was tightening the girth on one of the school horses at the UK (Univ of Ky) stable several decades ago, when Bruno decided he'd had enough of this, turned around and tried to take a piece out of the back of my thigh. Fortunately it was wintertime and I had heavy jeans on so he didn't draw blood, but I had a huge mouth-shaped black bruise for several months.
