That goes for all cherries, not just wild.

Here is a story all you animal lovers will appreciate. My husband runs a food truck on weekends and does catering and events. He was at a horse show today. He looked over and saw this guy who had his daughter on a horse and the horse was obviously terrified. The guy goes over and starts punching the horse and trying to yank it into the ring. My husband flies off the truck and screams at the guy. Guy turns red and runs and hides in his trailer, everyone at the horse show stares at my husband. Lots of smiles. Guy hid for the rest of the show. Take that, jerk.

Little do the horse show people know that the guy feeding them burgers and fries broke his own horse at age 12, and his sister is a three time international sidesaddle champion. Don't mess with animals with my hubby there!

I can't believe someone would hit a horse to make is calm down. A bit hypocritical don't you think? So glad your hubby told him off. I love all your animal btw, so lovely

Thanks! My husband said the same thing. Why exactly would that calm the horse down? Apparently the guy thought the horse was being "defiant" but my husband said it was obvious the horse was freaked about something.

I would be stroking the horses nose and calming him down. It really bothers me when people hit horses for disobeying. I was at a summer camp and this lady kneed a horse in the gut cause it was disobeying. At a different camp this horse was being a little fussy(just testing the lady really) while she was picking his hooves and she slapped him several times in the muzzle. People these days

Ugh! I don't get that! My father in law punched a guy in the face for beating his horse at a show when my husband was a kid. Haha

Sounds like a real DumbA** to me...imagine that with his Daughter on the horse....not only does he not Care for the horse, but certainly not his daughter either!!....give your Hubby a 'Pat' on the back for me!!....he might just be a Redneck!!

 

[NH homesteader]

Oh... He is. I assure you!

Good for your husband for getting involved! It's sad that no one else stepped up, though... maybe seeing that will give someone else the courage to do the same if they see behavior like that happening another time.
