The backward kicking is the most powerful, but if a rearing horse comes down on you, it's going to break something

A judge in my community is on a search and rescue squad. They use horses for work in the mountains. Several weeks ago, during a training session, his horse reared up and fell over backwards on him. The saddle horn hit his left abdomen area. He broke two ribs and lacerated his liver.

Ouch.

A friend was knocked down by a stallion that proceeded to crash down on her with his front knees. She was fortunate her son who was a marine was present. His accurate use of a whip distracted the stallion after about the third strike on his testicles.

She had several broken ribs.

The owner of the horse would not allow it to be euthanized, but did have it gelded.
