Caj, I know you know a lot more about horses than I do-- is that possible? Probable?

I would say it's possible, but definitely not probable. I think what probably happened (if Derek interfered at all) was that Derek may have knocked him off balance and he then took a bad step. Normally when a horse is kicked, it leaves a mark (especially on the lower leg.)
