Nice catch, but I hate to see a halter left on a horse in the pasture. Saw one that scratched her face with her back foot, got her horse shoe hung in the halter and evidently laid there until it cut her circulation cut off and died. (Circulation cuts off in about 4 to 6 hours if a horse can't get up). Even worse, I hate to see one roll like that...doesn't happen often, but they can twist a gut and surgery is very rarely successful for that. We raised over 500 horses through 60 years and only had one that twisted.

Very informative comment. It is hard to imagine how a horse could do what you have described. It had to be a sad situation for the owner and a hard lesson learned.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I’ve been a rider (not a horse breeder) most of my life. I spent 10 years teaching therapeutic horseback riding with both adult and child patients. The kids were often easier to deal with than the adults. Our volunteers; groomers, leaders, side walkers,etc. were either adult horse people or pony club teenage girls. Now, at 79, I find I have trouble sitting the canter, but maybe I’m just out of practice. I will work on it this summer. Anyway, love horses. Spent many hours learning to ride, mucking out stalls, building a stable, getting kicked in the mouth (that hurt), training horses for the charity work, and training patients. Looking back, some of the best years of my life.

I appreciate the time you have taken to comment. I'm sure your work with teaching therapeutic horseback riding was greatly appreciated. I seem to recall that one should not walk behind a horse. I said "Ouch," when you mentioned the kick in the mouth.

Neither of those things happen often. We raised over 500 foals over a period of 60 years, had 77 of those at one time and it only happened to one of ours, but it happened to several friends horses. Very sad indeed.

I wish everyone knew the calm and peace than happens for people who have horses in their lives. I'm very thankful that I have never been injured in any way by a horse. We raised over 500, had 77 of those at one time. I gentled them and broke them to ride the easy way. Never had to touch a whip to one or hit one in any way. Never had one buck when breaking them. I shoed for many years and won most of the time. Even won a World Grand G
Championship, so to say I have enjoyed horses most of my life would be an understatement. I have been an artist since I was 4 and most of what I paint is ...horses!!! I have a lot to be thankful for!

I am sure that the calm and peace shared the times with the work and patience it must have taken in the care of the horses. One of my sons had three horses and each one of them had medical problems. One is left and it is on borrowed time.

When I was young, perhaps around 8 years old my father bought a Shetland pony. He was showing me how to get on the poney and his feet while sitting on it touched the ground. The poney no fooling had a black ring around one of its eyes. After I got on the poney it bucked me off. Later he got a sway back which I enjoyed. I only rode a horse once again and that was when I was in my teens. We visited my dad's family in Syracuse NY. The ride was at a rent-a-horse stable. The ride was uneventful until we were nearing the end of the trail and that is when the horse turned and at a run headed back to the stable with me hanging on for all I could. That was enough horse riding for me.

Thanks for the information on your success.

The stable in Syracuse was probably Widewater Stables, which no longer exists.

There is a Canadian TV series entitled Heartland. It ran for 14 season (2007-2021). There is a lot of human drama in the show, but it is also a fantastic education about horses, how they are trained, how they are so sensitive to a rider’s mood, stress levels, etc. I started watching the series recently, and I am amazed at how accurately they present factual information about horses. The series is on Netflix, and if you are a horse person, it’s worth watching.

I am always sorry to hear of any undesirable experience with a horse. They are like children. The ones not taught right, don't always turn out like they should. So sorry your experiences were not the best.

Thank you for the possible name of the Stable.
I found the Picture of the stable horse I was riding that day. This Picture was taken 7-8-1946 when I was 13 years old.
