This horse did the same thing to a vets assistant and broke her ribs.
Where is the horse now?

There are too many good, talented animals to waste time on the dangerous, talented animals.

Funny thing.....horse came from Monty Roberts Horse Whisperer.......I don't know where the horse is now. Last I heard some cowboys told the owners to pick him up before they took care of him for good.

Well, there ya go.

From him or from one of his assistants, I wonder? (I've seen him work in person - it's kinda like Koehler Method, but for horses, the horse has to fit into the "program" ...)

Yeah Hastings was supposed to be nasty. Fair Play still a bit bonkers (not sure if he was mean or mental). Walter Farley writes the fictionalized MOW book as Mahubah being brought in to that line because the Rock Sand influence would temper the Fair Play crazy if memory serves, but this is supposedly BS. Was Rock Sand a piece of work?

If we're talking about nuts then we have to include the brilliant and temperamental superstah, Rakti.

From what I've read, Hastings was genuinely viscious. Fair Play was not - Fair Play was a bit "off", but not like his sire. MOW was not a horse who necessarily liked to goof around, but he was not a mean horse at all. Thanks to Farley, MOW is my favorite horse of all time.......I always wanted to be that fake groom, Danny, who jumped on MOW and took off for a midnight ride.

Looks like Dynaformer hasn't lost a step. Still "mean as a snake." Rock on, old man.
