I keep seeing this woman and her horse on my reels and his behavior scares me. I've never "played" with a horse in this way so maybe it's just me, but snapping his teeth towards her and kicking out isn't safe behavior, is it? He's going to kill her one day imo and she thinks it's funny 😑

She says it's playing, realistically she has a horse with no manners, she can barely catch him half the time and the potential danger is lost on her.

Right? It scares me to see his feet flying near her head!

Dressing him in Sherlock Holmes’ coat is also weirdo behaviour.

Oof I'm embarrassed for you reading that comment 🤣

The horse looks happy enough.

Any animal can injure you, I guess the owner knows her horse.

His ears are back most of the time when she touches his nose , that isn't a Happy Horse Face .

I think it is playing, but getting a bit close to the bone and putting herself in danger. The horse IS playing. He’s not kicking anywhere near her, but the biting looks more risky.

However the horse looks quite meek when it follows her at teatime. So all in all, a bit silly, but I can’t get overly upset over this.

One of my horses only ever put her ears forward when you had a bucket of food or pointed her at a jump. She looked like the most evil creature ever. People wouldn’t go near her stable. Yet she was actually the most obedient, easy horse I’ve ever met. And perfectly happy.
