A mentor of mine once told me that excuses are like assholes, and everyone’s got one. A lot of people will make excuses for their horse’s belligerent, reactive behavior, and it’s not if someone gets hurt, it’s just when and how bad. I am not scared of horses, but I have a damn healthy respect for what they are capable of. If you think there is any excuse for a horse kicking out at you, or pushing into you, or biting you, or pinning his ears at you, then you are a complete idiot. A better horse starts with making no more excuses for yourself.
