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.
