You’ve probably had too much negative tv and media. Seems like an innocent ignorance like most folks have with dogs. We all have it, just for different things.

I've been bit,kicked,thrown ,run through a fence just about everything a horse can do to you and I'm not scared because I'm not a pussy.

There's a high likelihood that was the case, but I got the feeling she just didn't want to go out that day. She didn't want to do a damn thing right. A horse is a horse, of course, of course

There isn't a domesticated animal I am afraid of.

It's not a wild animal and you might as well tell them the same about humans.

In general no. Some are jerks though.

I took care of a Belgian once. Son of gun was HUGE, almost 2000 lbs. His head was bigger than my torso. Friendly as can be, but man if he wanted to he could do some damage.

I have never seen a horse's height written down and this was when I was a kid.

The horse's racing name was Yankee Trial, he ran at FG, Evangaline, Delta and Sam Houston. I was training him to be a Hunter/Jumper and the people we sold him to eventually made him a bucking Bronco, but believe what you want.

Have had them all my life but have a certain distrust for them. Have seen more people injured by them than any other animal. Id rather walk through my herd of cows with a feed sack than through a herd of brood mares

I feel weird riding them. I think its a lack of control deal I know that there is animal I'm riding that is ridiculous powerful and could do what it wanted to if it
really ever wanted to.

That's true, and he was hurt a whole bunch during his racing career. but between running and being sold as a bucking horse, I had him, trying to make him a hunter/jumper but he was a bit of a head case and they didn't want to put little girls on him.

K

I just have a hard time believing someone training a horse for hunters where stride length is so important thinking they have an 18.1 hand horse (or even knowing that there is no such thing as 17.5).

That would be 17.2

Which is much more believable
