Pete Eurton should have sang kumbayaa to that horse and maybe he wouldnt have tried to eat him alive. If someone hasnt been on a horse out of control then you have no idea what a person should or should not do. Horses are like children and sometimes you need to knock the crap out of them to get them to pay attention.

Thoroughbreds are sensistive and often thin skinned. (Anyone one needing proof can come to my barn and bathe/groom the horse in my avatar.) I'm sure the horse felt this and felt it good. However, anyone who has been on a horse that is out of control or close to it, no matter what the breed will do anything to get it's mind back on working. This horse was very rank and while DC's actions were harsh it is unfair for people who don't ride and/or deal with horses to get it, sometimes you just have to show some force.
I'm the first one to spoil a horse with treats, ear scratches and neck rubs but when a 1200+ lb. creature decides that he's in charge, there are not that many ways to set him straight.
