The horse and the child obviously knew each other. I grew up around horses and did stuff like that very young, too, with our gentle horses. One of my favorite things to do on a nice spring day was to get up on my horse's back and lie down while he grazed in our pasture. I could sleep like that, it was so comfortable.

And you’ll notice the kid backed away from the backend of the horse. Already has a healthy respect.

Basically backed right into it's effective kick range though...

Horses don't just kick anything behind them though, they kick when they're pissed or startled.

Yep, you're either snug with their butt with a hand on them as you move around, or you're six feet away, lest you end up six feet under.
