Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] riding with trailriders - Dawn Carrie<<Sort of depends on whether you are riding the kickor or the kickee.If you are on the kickee, there is usually no doubt as it usually produces extreme pain at a minimum.*>>
LOL...I can tell you first hand what a kick LOOKS like. I was riding with a couple of friends last year on our forest. I was on my 14.2h gelding. One of the other riders was on this humongous Arab (ok, anything over 15h looks big when you're on a 14.2h horse <G>). The other horse was probably at least 15.2h. Anyhow, he'd taking a strong dislike to my gelding. We were trotting along down a dirt road, that horse passed mine, and at a fast trot fired off a one-legged kick at my horse as he passed us. He kicked so high that he came within maybe 6 inches of nailing me full in the face. I got one helluva good look at the bottom of his foot. Scared the crap out of me. He also tried to back up and nail my horse a time or two. I made sure to stay in front of him for the rest of the ride. He eventually decided my horse was ok as a riding buddy, but I never did trust him after that kick.
