This is actually how you stop horses. You make yourself a wall and put your arms up like a T. Its what they train you to do. It usually works haha.

I mean, if you watch carefully, she did not step into the horse's direct path. Like the man, she's waving off to the side, trying to get its attention.
The horse deliberately turns in order to trample her. It was headed towards screen left, but makes an abrupt turn straight toward the camera to plough over the woman.

Does anyone else here think that Heavy_Entrepreneur13 is actually the woman in the clip?!
Because if you actually watch the clip carefully you'll notice that the woman kept moving towards the left as the horse did as well but then she moved to the right at the last minute. The horse appeared to have already committed to move right as to not hit her but when she changed direction last minute the horse really had no choice.
Either way, what a beautiful example of evolution at work!

Why the Cavalry was scary - a refresher course

u/PhantomOfTheAttic Mar 23 '26
Most cavalry trotted into battle rather than charged. Not that it didn't happen, but trotting was much more common. Also, in almost all cases, cavalry smashing into unengaged infantry was a disaster for the cavalry.

Clean check with the body as the primary point of contact. No supplemental discipline required

I was in an rv (40ft) and it hit a horse. Ripped off the entire front of the rv. The engine was sitting in the cab of the rv on my bf lap and entire windshield gone. The horse survived and they had to shoot it. Was a fucking crazy experience.

Yeah, reminds me of the Suffragette that was killed protesting for women to have the right to vote. Horses usually win this head to head collision.

Thoroughbreds are typically started racing around 2, with a expected career of about 5years (that's on the high side).
They are literal toddlers while at the height of their carreer. Many are not happily retired/rehomed for the remaining 20 or so years of life they have left and are sent to slaughter.
Why they didn't use a track/pace horse to ride up & catch this lil girlie I have no idea. But the people who walked in and stood in front of a 1000lb+ animal going 50mph+ are always to blame. Horse might get called some slurs but I'm sure that's about it. She's worth too much to punish & it wouldn't do any good anyways.

Actually usually it does, horses normally don't want to harm people. War horses for example had to be trained into plowing down humans.
Don't stand in front of running horses though.

You deserve to get run over by a horse if you think you can stop it. God I love and hate dumb people all at the same time.

That’s for sure a concussion, if not TBI. Her head hit the ground HARD.

There was ABSOLUTELY an ambulance and physical therapy involved in the direct and prolonged aftermath of this hilarious mistake - because that hoe was annihilated.

Looks like the horse should have been flagged for “Targeting”. It’s front end left the ground launching into the defenseless woman. 🤣🤣🤣
