    [RC] Horses that kick - Laura Hayes


    Yes, any horse can be a kicker.  In 1981, my endurance horse, that I had raised and loved desperately, was kicked at the start of a ride in PA.  We were milling around at the start and a horse came up, kicked and skittered off.  My horse had a 4 inch slab fracture of the tibia just above the hock.  I had it screwed back together and he was comfortable for a few more years.  The horse who kicked him went on to do many more rides and NEVER kicked again.  Go figure.
