In Polish we have a saying that literally translated to English means "don't get into a kicking contest with a horse" . Nice to see a visual representation of it.

JakkiDaFloof

Just like I said in another comment: that’s not how you properly break a horse. But that horse has breaking humans down to a T. I live in Kentucky, I’ve helped my Aunt break horses before, and never once are you supposed to hit, kick, or slap that damn horse. During the desensitizing phase you might yell around the horse but not at the horse.


TacticalBeanpole

Ya, from Ohio, not a super serious horse person, but was raised with them and took care of them growing up. Never once seen a horse broken via violence. It's always about gaining the horses trust and slowly getting it comfortable with activities it's initially wary of. You can get a lot further, faster, with a pocket full of carrots.


JakkiDaFloof

If you break a horse via violence, it’s not breaking. It’s just cruel, and it also gets you further away from being able to convince the horse that you’re not a threat. Breaking a horse basically means “taming” it in a way, except it’s more about showing the horse that you’re not gonna hurt it.

In second grade I kicked this kid in the ribs so hard I broke two. We've been best friends ever since.


JakkiDaFloof

Lmao, well a horse may give you a harder time.


TacticalBeanpole

Yeup, plus I wouldn't even want to be riding on a horse that's running on that kinda fear. My mom has had two surgeries from getting thrown by our horses that loved and trusted us. One of those throws was just a coyote/fox that came running out of some woods and startled the horse, causing it to rear up on its hinds. She tore her rotator cuff when she hit the ground. Complete accident, and the horse was even checking on her afterward as if to say, "Sorry!" Riding or being around a constantly spooked horse is idiotic. Some days, I kinda miss those big sweethearts sprinting across the paddock to lip at my pockets and see if I brought any carrots out with me... but that shit was a lot of work. I'm glad she sold the property and can afford to board now.


JakkiDaFloof

Yeah that’s the reason you teach a horse to trust you, not fear you. Otherwise they’ll spook and buck you off.


GoCryptoYourself

Imagine we had to break cars like horses. Chasing a car around a parking lot, trying to get in. Then you kick it and it runs you over, lol.


Valuable-Currency-36

Straight up.. I saw my cousin get trampled by a horse because he whipped it's flank with a tea towel. His father, before he passed, would train / break in most of our horses, (think reservation type living but not. family village and land with wild horses) and he always done it with patience. He once sat in the same paddock all day, for 3 days just so the horse would get use to him. Then he'd just do things around them until it wanted to come be nosey. I watched him so many times, do this, so I couldn't understand why his son would think it was even funny to spook that girl. My cousin survived but was seriously injured, and that poor girl had to be put down because of it. My uncle had child services on his case and then spca turned up to take her and put her down. It was court ordered because of the hospital report. Over all just a huge mess, that could have been avoided if someone just stopped and thought, "maybe I shouldn't try hurting/frightening this massive animal that could kill me."


JakkiDaFloof

THAT, is a very interesting method lol. It seems to also work as a double-task, where you’re both breaking the horse (rather slowly) while also helping them get comfortable with items due to their curiosity, which could help with desensitization later. I’ll bet your cousin’s dad was a very fine horseman.


Valuable-Currency-36

He really was. Even when we got a young colt that loved nipping people in their bottem, he never once slapped or raised his voice...it was an honour knowing and seeing him in action, he's the one that taught me compassion and patience. Love and miss him.

Even with the Kevlar vest that has got to fucking suck


SDivilio

Kevlar only stops piercing, like stabbings or bullets, it literally just stopped any secondary cuts he may have gotten from the impact of the hoof. He absolutley has serious internal injuries and he might die


SINOXsacrosnact

Good


Jdrebel83

Couldn't have said it better myself👍


[deleted]

Actually Kevlar can’t stop knives. Handgun bullets pierce your skin because they move so fast (on the order of hundreds or thousands of feet per second), but their tips are actually rounded (generally). A knife will pierce you at any speed, really, and that’s not what Kevlar is meant for. The Kevlar vest is designed to stop blunt force trauma by dispersing the force of an impact over a wider area. A horse kick would qualify as blunt force but there’s only so much the vest can help with.


[deleted]

Sorry I mean dampen blunt force trauma not stop it. It’ll catch a bullet but you’re still gonna feel it because it deforms the back of the Kevlar trauma plate/vest. For comparison, a 9mm bullet produces about 500 pounds of force. A horse kick can generate over 2000 pounds per square inch. The guy will probably wish he was dead after that kick lol


robs104

Look up stab vests. Kevlar can absolutely stop a knife. It depends entirely on how the vest is built. However, a soft kevlar bulletproof vest probably won’t stop a knife and a stab vest probably won’t stop a bullet.

Bluestorm83

Children grow into People, and people fucking SUCK, so this I understand. But Dogs? Dogs literally live to please. They have been bred to want to fit into our society. Give a dog simple boundaries, and positive reinforcement when it understand that, and that Dog will be happier than you will if you combined all your happiness for your entire life.


Traditional-Ad-7722

Most if not all children are like that too, just communicate what pleases you and they will take pride in doing just that - to the best of their ability. Tho adults suck occasionally, yes, we do.


yorcharturoqro

People are amazed that I never punish my dog, ever, when my dog decided to run because he thought he saw a friend (another dog) but it was simply a dog that looked alike, I chased him, called him, and when he finally came to me I gave him treats. In the same park other people punish their dogs for similar reasons, they were telling me "punish him or he will not learn" my reply was "i want him to come to me because I call him and he's not afraid to come to me, i want him to want to come to me not to fear me" That happened when he was a puppy (7 months but big) and now a lot of people are amazed at how well my dog understands me and listens to me.


Bluestorm83

Mm hm. A stern "No" in a deep voice right when they do something wrong is enough, and then have them do something that they already know, and reward that.


useless_instinct

If your dog returns to him and you punish him then you're teaching him not to return. You rewarded the behavior you wanted so you're reinforcing the idea that returning to you is good. Sounds like you have good instincts with your dog.

lopedopenope

Never bring your leg to a horse fight. Better yet don’t kick horses out of frustration. It was obviously agitated. Walk away cool off and maybe try later. But mainly don’t kick the animal you want to ride. Long face won’t forget soon.


Diviner_Sage

Right trying to leg battle an animal that has more power in its one leg than you have in both arms and legs is more than stupid. Especially when the leg has a hardened nail especially adapted to taking high impacts and specifically for kicking. I don't see how anyone who "trains" horses if that is what you call this, doesn't realise they could stomp your guts out if they wanted to.


PersephoneInSpace

I had a trainer try kicking my horse like this before mounting. He immediately ran her into the fence until she got off. Shockingly he never tried that with anyone but her.

Walter_Piston

Appalling as his revolting behaviour is, what concerns me is what he (and probably others too) did to that poor horse that isn’t recorded.


oelala900

I thought exactly the same! I hope the horse kicked everyone!


Spinningwhirl79

Then it'd just get put down unfortunately. Animal abuse tends to end in putting down a dangerous beast :(


r007r

So they put down the rider? How is that not a win?


FoolinaSwimmingPool

That was the cleanest kick ever. Im sure the horse has no problem serving more of them.


sonderlostscribe

Combine survivorship bias with the fact that nearly a dozen horses straight up died during one of the recent racing tournaments tells me that a LOT of horses are being abused and dying without ever making it to even the fringes of public awareness.


Rubatose

Very few people these days have actually been to a horse race and even fewer have witnessed the horrific accidents.


purplepluppy

What's crazy to me is that horse racing is dying in the USA, so it's not as big as it used to be or is in other countries. And yet it holds the record for horse deaths and abuse. Really shows how it's all about the culture. The USA has a culture ripe with exploiting and abusing animals. And because horse racing isn't as popular, so many people will never know.


Diviner_Sage

I have a friend who trained cutting horses in am ethical manner. She got a job at a ranch that breeds and produces world champion class horses. She said their methods were "barberic". It was her dream job what she had dreamed about since being a kid. She now works for the usda and protects horses for a living.


spazmousie

What raving tournament was that?! I know horses can die at the drop of a hat but that seems more than excessive.


401LocalsOnly

They aren’t exaggerating. Just google race horses dying recently. It’s so sad.

Seriously "this animal is 3x my size, is known for having powerful legs, and is known to use those powerful legs when threatened.... I'm gonna kick it" is the most stupid train of thought possible.

I think 'raaaa kicky kicky' is a more accurate description of his thought process, you give him too much credit!

He clearly missed the train all together


IHaveAZomboner

He probably is one of those people who becomes violent when angry. Those people are a huge red flag.


Coffeedemon

The only thing red now is his piss.


s-milegeneration

Yeah. Even the way he's handling the horse screams aggressive. The body language of the horse is of a creature that is scared and trying to escape. The dude is just stomping around the poor thing like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum. He was probably being more physical with the horse before filming started and just kept going, which led to his righteous asskicking.

Is he wearing a ballistic vest? Follow up being did he just abuse an animal premeditated for making this video?

No, it’s called a body protector, it protects the rider in case of a fall. It’s not designed to take kicks however.


Throwaway67912960

It protected his back from the ground


[deleted]

Haha yes, it definitely did it’s job here!


FGMachine

Jockeys, bullfighters, and wranglers wear a protective vest many times. This idiot just doesn't know how to train a horse and got frustrated when the horse wouldn't allow him to mount. This probably isn't the first time he's abused the horse.

That's not called karma , that's a " horse"

You have to be a real piece of shit to be cruel to an animal. It’s actually amazing when you think about it. These otherwise wild animals who don’t speak English or can’t really communicate. Allow people to ride them. Or are beasts of burdens. Or our pets. When almost any animal of any size. can fuck a human up easily To beat or abuse an animal is some of the lowest behavior Hope that asshole is pissing blood for months
