Brother Derek got me good at Churchill Derby Week. Lunged over webbing and tore my shirt and bit my chest. Left a helluva welt.

What a mess for CT's equestrian industries if they rule "yes." And likely the wrong decision, just as most canine associations say that breed-specific legislation does nothing to curb dog violence.

In this case, I'm assuming Scuppy is a gelding, but the three incidents in the comment thread (including the famous photo) all involved intact male horses. The best thing a pet owner (or recreational horse owner) can do to reduce the risk of their male animal attacking someone is to get it neutered. Over 90 percent of fatal dog attacks involve male dogs, 94 percent of which aren't neutered.

I hope the court sees sense. Horses aren't innately vicious, just as there aren't innately vicious breeds of dogs.

Except for poodles. F*ck poodles.

when people ask if my dog bites (a stupid question, i'd never bring her to work if she did) i say she never has. it's true. doesn't mean it's a guarantee she never will.

stupidity on the judges behalf. he obviously doesn't understand horses, who are prey animals, not predatory.

What gives?
she keeps me occupied when it gets slow, and just about everyone loves her. the few that come in who don't like her because they're afraid of dogs, i just put her in another room. but, this area seems to be mostly dog lovers. the lady who works at one of the radio stations comes by-not to see me, but to see the dog. several people keep threatening to take her, she's a sweetie.
i know i've read in the past about other countries, and how many of them treat dogs much better then we do, in that they are welcome in restaurants and the like. if they are well-behaved of course. we've found a few dog-friendly places with outdoor seating, everyone is very nice about it, and asks about the dog. she's a great size, 25 pounds, and just a great personality. my last dog, no way i'd take her to work.

I have a picture of him holding my friend by her coat. Amazing considering how he seemed to be with Hendricks in First Saturday in May. Pretty boy though.

Maybe he got some tips from Canadian Frontier, who clearly wanted us dead from the start when we visited Airdrie in '11. He's at another farm now but used to be at Airdrie, too. A friend we were with got this video:
