I didn't see what happened and I am viewing this on my phone so its tiny...the back of the head is vulnerable in a horse...otherwise they are tough bastards.

Sorry bout your grandad...not sure they compare though.

My grandfather eventually died from basically grazing his head on a harmless looking table when he fell backwards. He seemed perfectly fine at the hospital and they made it sound like he was only kept for precautionary reasons. The next days he's in a coma - and dead maybe ten days later.

It seemed like a pretty vicious shot to the head that horse took... but I really don't know anything about horses with that kind of stuff.

Thanks. I hear ya, they most likely don't.

Maybe the horse might compare with the best running back in my high school growing up - he died on July 4th from a heroin overdose. The people who's house he died in tried to convince everyone it was from training for a triathlon.
