"Most horses that are used to being around people aren’t violent towards them, but even a horse that is used to people has the potential to kick if they feel threatened.
"A horse’s kick can pack the punch of a small car and can severely injure a person standing too close and even prove fatal in certain circumstances."
"Horses usually do not tend to be aggressive around their owners, however, anytime you are near a new horse, it is always safe to proceed with caution. "
"A horse may also just be feeling a little feisty or excited, such as when you let them loose in a pasture, and they may kick as an expression of their excitement."
"The more training a horse has on the ground as well as exposure to different situations, the less likely it is to kick out of fear. "
