And YOU could get killed, if you walk behind one of those horses, startling
it and it reacts by kicking--thinking you are the heeling dog.
Case in point:
A well-known horsewoman in our area sic'd the dogs on the horses
to teach them to load in the trailer. She had one tied to the trailer
and walked behind the horse. He apparantly thought it was a dog
and kicked the lady in the head. She suffered a terrible head injury,
but survived.
