    Kid was inside the electric fence. Elephant could have done the kid serious harm. This was a warning. Stupid kid. Stupid parents maybe. Some kids have a knack for getting into trouble. Good thing it was a warning. Elephants have very strong trunks.

    I had a friend of mine have this happen to her. Horse lover. Something spoked her horse and it went down on her like that. Broke her low back 2 levels, crusher her pelvis, and one femur. With modern medicine she can walk again but has constant pain and cannot ride any more. She says she misses it real bad.

    That looks to me like a deliberate move by the horse...its ears are back and I don't see anything that could have spooked the horse. Regardless, if I were the owner of the horse, I could never trust the horse again, so it's either out to pasture or out to the glue factory. As an owner, that horse is a liability at this point, with this incident on its record.

    I sure hope the poor woman survived her injuries.

    Here's the story;

    What you don't see in the video was the temper tantrum he pitched in the beginning, or the fact that his his buddy just finished their run and was heading back up to the barn, how windy it was, or the fact that the reigns on the left side were open. I clearly came up too high and tight on the right when closing that side off, but had he given into the circling that was meant to happen until he was ready to finally move forward into the ring then we could have avoided all that. Sorry to disappoint, still alive, no wheel chair, not even any broken bones, just some gnarly bruising 😂 And we still hit up the trails a few weeks later, there were no hard feelings, just some good lessons. 👍✌😜

    Until the next time.

    Good luck with a horse like that, and make sure your healthcare and liability insurance payments are made on time.
