Dipshit should have stayed home in the 'burbs and left the horse-punchin' to the locals.

It begs the question: was this idiot born this stupid, or has he been taking classes?

Speaking from personal experience, a horses head is brick-hard.

Looks like he tripped and fell a few times before the mounted office was able to help him to his feet. That's how I would have seen it.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a rite of passage for wannabe tough guys.

They should have made him stand behind the horse, then given it a fright.

Philly PD needs some schutzpferd training. 1200# of pissed off equine can bite every bit as good as 90# of GSD.

I grew up on a horse farm... I punched a lot of horses. And it generally worked for those few nasty horses that tried to bite, kick, etc. I also bit a few. And, yes, it mattered where you punched them. Between the eyes was pretty stupid. Hard as a brick.

Down at the teeth got your message across. And I never had a horse try and bite me again after biting them back. One particularly nasty nag (Sand) used to try and kick the shit out of me every time I entered his stall. I finally broke a horse-shoe rasp over his hind quarters... I still use the halves for wood shaping. He never kicked at me again. We had an understanding. Horses are smart that way. (he gave me the worst kicking I ever received, too... right in the chest with both hooves. Just because I was walking behind him. Shoeing him was a chore... until after I broke the rasp on him. Then he calmed down and let me shoe him. But Sand was a nasty, ill-tempered, bastard roan and was the closest I ever came to shooting a goddamned horse...

All that said, punching a police horse is retarded. And hope that the Philly PD ensures that idiot gets some serious assault charges. Police horses are trained to a degree that is amazing. They don't need 'coaching' as it were. To make the grade as a police horse... is an animal in the top .001 percent of the breed.

But you grow up on a horse farm and you've punched a horse. Guarantee it!

Cheers,

I've never punched a horse. Got into it with an 800# bull over my hound dog. He took one to the nose and that was done. I was happy 2 busted knees I don't run really good.

Can confirm.

I grew up on a ranch in Montana and never one time had to punch my horse, he followed me around like a puppy. I have seen horses you could club with a 2X4 and never get through to them, the biters are the worst. Generally a slap to the mouth gets their attention but not always. It's a good thing they are dumb critters, if they weren't there would be a lot less 2 leggers riding them.

One of my buddies is a mounted officer, they were working to break up a post college football game party. A drunk thought it would be cool to try and spook the mounted officers horses, his mount was a test bitch, she finally had enough of this drunk waving his hands, yelling, and just being a dumb drunk dick.... Soo she decided to reach out and smack the drunk in the face, knocked him out, took a bunch of hide off his face thanks to carbide caulked shoes. It was epic. This horse is a flat brute, you can point her at something and she will go through it or over it. I have a half sister to that horse that I showed in the reined cowhorse for a few years, she was the same way. Thought she was a bulldozer and really didn't care what was in front of her.

Yup. My 'own' horse, Adjutant, was a retired dressage horse. Only horse I ever really liked. He didn't need reins. You just told him "Take the left trail, Adj.... take the right trail, Adj." Best-natured horse ever. Never had to so much as raise my voice to him. 17.2 hands, too. Huge! The nasty ones were in the minority. But they were nasty. You have 100 horses run around... the percentage game says two or three are going to be nasty. And it only takes two or three to make your life miserable.

Cheers,

Sirhr

I never took a shot from a horse but took a few from cattle.
Many times while in the shoot on clamping day.
Not shod thank God.
We had a hickory attitude staff.

Calves are the worst! They're the right size to get their leg between the boards in the alley. But really hard to blame them considering what's about to happen...

I'll tap a horse on the nose if they nip at me with their lips. But my only exp with a horse that would actually bite was looking at him standing in his stall, so not a problem I had to deal with. I did have a horse that the previous owner couldn't handle and had smacked around and I had to be careful moving my hands around his face or he'd spook. Great horse after he learned to trust me. I'd like to take a dogwood to the asshole that knocked him around.

ive never punched a horse....but ive ridden a few....and as a general rule, i try not to piss of anything big enough to effortlessly carry my fat ass around.....because if it can carry my ass.....it can probably equally kill me with little difficulty.
