Meanest Horse Ever?

[trackrat59]

I'm glad Pete is ok. This is scary stuff. When a horse turns like that it's frightening as all heck. I've seen it happen and I was lucky enough to get out of the way of one myself years ago. I know someone that lost a few fingers to a horse.

When I read this part I had to crack a smile....As for Silent Affair, "he was castrated an hour later," Eurton said. I'm just smiling about what the call to that vet must have sounded like.

I think they said that when the outriders finally caught the horse that he tried to attack them too. That is a seriously mean horse.

I think Sportin Life, the sire of Bet Twice, killed someone. I don't remember the details.

Didn't John Henry kill, or almost kill someone at a young age?

I was trampled by a horse a week before prom.

did he attack him? i thought he ran him over when he was loose or something like that.

nasrullah was supposed to be pretty much insane. bull hancock supposedly cracked him over the skull once with his cane. but he got good horses, so they put up with his difficult behavior.

yeah, dynaformer i understand is legendary with his temper. seeking the gold looked like he's really only seeking an opportunity to reach out and touch someone. hard.

Maybe he simmered down as he got older but doubt they would let you get this close to him otherwise, this is my better half with him in 2008

As Danzig said, that was an accident. The horse was loose and Jeff stepped in front of him by mistake and they collided. The horse tried to avoid him. The horse was running down the road and as Jeff moved to the left to avoid the horse, the horse moved to the left to avoid Jeff. It was just a fluke accident.

Halo had a reputation for being mean.

Gosh, I hope you were not hurt too badly and still got to go to your prom.

Surprisingly nothing broken. This is how we discovered the new horse had food issues.

The Sportin Life story was something about his exercise rider being found dead laying on the track. I don't think anyone witnessed what actually happened. I read something about it recently, I think the son of the rider is a trainer now or something like that.

I've heard Blushing Groom was pretty nasty.

Del Carroll. I think he fell off during a workout.

Not sure about the John Henry story.

no doubt laced with profanity. lucky for the horse they called the vet and not the knacker.
