Has anyone else been bitten on the shoulder

pgardns rule while in barn:

never turn your back on a horse in a stall unless
more than a neck+head distance away.
Also never wear running shoes in barn.
Black toenails fall off after stepped on.
Was tightening the girth on one of the school horses at the UK (Univ of Ky) stable several decades ago, when Bruno decided he'd had enough of this, turned around and tried to take a piece out of the back of my thigh. Fortunately it was wintertime and I had heavy jeans on so he didn't draw blood, but I had a huge mouth-shaped black bruise for several months.
