Meanest Horse Ever?

[philcski]

Dynaformer is legendarily mean.

Wow. Brave gate crew. Glad he's going to be okay.

I'm glad Pete is ok. This is scary stuff. When a horse turns like that it's frightening as all heck. I've seen it happen and I was lucky enough to get out of the way of one myself years ago. I know someone that lost a few fingers to a horse.

When I read this part I had to crack a smile....As for Silent Affair, "he was castrated an hour later," Eurton said. I'm just smiling about what the call to that vet must have sounded like.

I think they said that when the outriders finally caught the horse that he tried to attack them too. That is a seriously mean horse.

I think Sportin Life, the sire of Bet Twice, killed someone. I don't remember the details.

Didn't John Henry kill, or almost kill someone at a young age?

True, but supposedly he is quite a gentleman with the mares when they are brought to him (according to the Three Chimney's tour guide a few years back).

Does he cuddle with them afterwards, and promise to call them the next day?

According to Laura Hillenbrand, author of "Seabiscuit", the Biscuit's dad, "Hard Tack", was quite a mean (or at least troubled) horse.

I always remember hearing that Ribot was crazy and mean. And that they couldn't ship him back to Europe because of it.

Rock Hard Ten is one mean sob. Oh wait sorry we are talking about horses

Bout 6 or 7 years ago Hoofbeats (the US trotting assoc magazine) did an article about dangerous standardbreds. There was a story about a mare that I seem to remember could only be approached outside from inside the farm truck. She was finally put down when she almost killed someone...wish I could remember more details, they had some pretty crazy (IMO) routines to deal w her. I would have shot the bitch and been done w her.
Whoever said Dynaformer is a gentleman in the shed was fed a line of crap by the groom...he's not much better on the mares than he is on his groom.
