@@dingo1666 Some people would sell a horse after an accident like that. But i think it's right how they did it in this video because it's not the horses fault

@@antonialoos546 exactly

@@antonialoos546 I agree. The horse was trying to warn him several times that she did not want to be ridden but he understands he did not listen when he should of. The horse was trying to communicate with him. I think the accident definitely made their bond and communication with one another stronger.

@@antonialoos546 this is "typical" horse person behaviour 😂 my foal crushed 3 of my ribs the other day when moved her into her new stable after weaning and It's absolutely my fault!

Well said

We need more people like him can we clone him? 🥺❤

@@scottgilliam8185 Why? Just Why? I know we need more people like him but why don’t we be like him?

@@somebodythatyouneverknew5806 because humans are self-absorbed and selfish

I'd agree about the malic statement but the horse was obviously experiencing some displeasure. Also animals can dislike certain individuals very much. Not to the point of malic but not that far off. The only reason non human animals can't experience very complex emotions like malic is. The lack of development of the prefrontal cortex. That section of the brain is responsible for the complexity of human thoughts. If that section of the brain is severely damaged the individuals cognitive ability will be that of a child.

I would be scared for rest of my life of horses let alone that particular horse, he is a very brave man too.

@@pulakification He said that he didn't listen to her when she was saying no it's just part of being a horse person they have off days just like us and will get frustrated when we don't listen to them on those days, they can only communicate as much as we can understand them.

He said he knew she was agitated and that he shouldn't have ridden her. He has already forgiven himself for making a poor decision.

It was. This is why we listen to the animals like he said. He said: I did all the wrong things. Usually when accidents with horses happen it is exactly as he described it. When something feels off: do not get on the horse. And as he said: but as a human I did it anyway. And this is why this happened. It is unfortunate very much so because he got hurt badly but he knows that there were signs.

No, the horse clearly didn’t want to be ridden, and the owner decided for her that she was going to. She showed him that she wasn’t in the mood, and his leg injury was his consequence for making her do something she didn’t want to. It’s like a kid that gets to close to a dog when it’s eating, the dog growls to show he wants his space, and then, if the kid keeps messing with him, the dog snaps at him, then, the kid goes and tattles on the dog. “I can bug you even if you don’t want me to, but you better not get mad at me if I do.” Sounds like a narcissistic, bully mindset. 😠

My friend has 3 pit bull rescues, and had me dogsit the puppy while the 2 grownup dogs went to the vet. He was put in the office while the other dogs went in the car, but my friend left & I let him out. Even tho he knew me really well, he was scared, and we think he thought I took the whole family away. He was a puppy, but already a big boy (he looks to be a pit-rottie mix, he was literally thrown out as an infant, likely because he had a small birth defect). He started getting aggressive with me, and was snapping, but also pushing me to back up into the bathroom. He was such a good boy, he didn't know what to do, so instead of actually mauling me, he got me into the bathroom, let me lock myself in (I called my friend immediately!), and that way he could neutralize the threat without hurting me. Once everybody was calm, he and I spent a long time together and reconnected. We were all so proud of him for such good thinking, but I'm proud of me too, for realizing what he was doing & not panicking.

@@user-hx7mi7ml8u sounds very human to me lol.

Yes. And he even loves her more 😍

Love this . This is so fucking amazing . 💓

@@HuyenLe-xp6gj exactly! Not just kept her, but went way beyond w forgiveness and acceptance; far beyond the pale. I almost felt like she was saying sorry when she came to the window while he was healing (or maybe she wanted treats). My dog bopped my nose while playing, when I tried to hold my nose he wrapped his arms around my neck and hugged me so tightly that I couldn't touch my face. All the while he was whining in gasps which is how he says he is sorry. I'm probably wrong, but if she didn't like him and wanted to hurt him, it could've been way worse.

He *ride* a horse in icy weather, HE shouldn't be allowed to fucking ride. VoRgIVE tf He put her, himself, anyone possible in traffic if that was seriously a street at risk.

Wow, I think you're probably right. ❤

OH NOOOOOO!!! Most people agree that my vids are the worst on KZfaq. I agree to disagree. Please agree to disagree with the haters, dear kl

my xgf has a property about 40min away and 5 rescue horses, and one "tony the pony" who often lets himself in an sits on the lounge chair. sorry to say 2 had to be put down a few days ago as a tiger snake had got'n amongst them.

😁😁😁😁😆

Right lol. I love that for them

@@danielponiatowski7368 That's terrible ! I'm so sorry .

All of the above! ❤

Agree!!!

He doesn't have to forgive Amerigo. It's not his fault.

@@irisenamorado And it isn't her's either as he ignored the warnings she was giving. He isn't at full fault as he didn't know what was wrong and thought she was just having a off day and went on her back anyways which resulted in that accident. She can't be blamed because well she can't speak and can only give signals/signs, while he simply didn't understand them like anyone would have, even experienced riders/owners miss a few signals every now and then. He says he forgives her because so many people would be quick to get rid of the horse after a accident like that and blame them for everything. If anything their bond became deeper after it and he has absolutely nothing but love for his horse.

@@irisenamorado Human beings don't always think like that. If the horse threw me I might be inclined to blame the horse.

In my opinion, it was no one's fault. It was just an accident.

Yes he said that but it's a fact not an accusation.

Always felt bad for horses left outside in a cold lonely barn. Trainers always say, listen to your horse. So glad you rescued her! Such a great pair!

@Ocean Five Karen stop.

@Ocean Five That is funny coming from a thing like you. Karen you need to try harder so you can fail better.

@Ocean Five the horse is the one that broke his leg, not him. You don't make any sense

This animal is the spirit of one of his ancestors, that is my belief.

That is a maxim we should all follow towards our fellow human beings as well. Forgiveness is just that ... love them anyway. If you have people in your life who are hurtful and cruel, you are in the wrong crowd. Love also means letting go.

@いちごち。 😂 dead

A friend lost his leg above the knee from cancer and the phantom pains in his missing foot drove him half mad, as though someone was constantly tickling his foot, and poking at them. The Doc gave him some anaesthetic cream for his stump which made no difference at all. Unfortunately he succumbed to secondary lung cancer, but I saw his fight and I understand, as far as anyone can, your torment.

@いちごち。 Animals are, just like us humans, very individual, Strawberry. I hope that despite the great grief you have found a way to go on and you have found hope. Maybe it helps you to think that you do not know what your cat has experienced before. She may not show it so well but I'm sure she loves you anyway.

wonderful comment

Yu can’t guarantee anything about an animal. Body language n signs my ass!

@@iamthefuss934 If you actually spend time with an animal and bond and become intune with it, yes you can read its body language. Just like how humans have their own body language- we push people away with our hand when they get too close, we slump when we feel depressed, we scrunch up our faces when we taste something disgusting, etc - animals do too. If you arent seeing their signals and think this is bullshit, it means you havent been compassionate enough, empathetic enough, kind enough, patient enough, or intuitive enough to notice them

**YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, MY FRIEND!!

True. Most people think of animals as "things" at our disposal that must obey what we say. Just... why?

100% correct. I know my dogs. When they are happy or not feeling good I always know.

That would be ridiculous. It was his own fault.

@@VitalityMassage it was his fault and he knows it but in other instances people wouldn’t take the blame for themselves. They get hurt and wanna put the animal down right away which is ridiculous because they neglected to read their body language

@@andreaacosta272685 i suppose it also depends on context because if the animal had clearly suddenly turned violent toward your whole family or something for no reason that's one thing (still, just adopt it) but this horse is clearly awesome and it was clearly his fault

@@andreaacosta272685 That is because a lot of humans are complete losers.

@@florencemiller7826 Right!? 😁😁🥺

@@dvafosho oh gosh😁❤

I'm so sorry that you are afraid of horses. I love horses and can't imagine being afraid of them. Maybe this will help. Horses tend to be like dogs. Like you ever notice how the really big breeds like Saint Bernards are really gentle, and the tiny ones like Chihuahuas are more outwardly emotional? Horses are pretty much the same. The big ones are gentle giants. Horses are incredibly emotional. Easily same as dogs and people. Horses bonds to people and other animals are very strong. There are multiple videos on KZfaq of horses being reunited with former owners and horse friends after YEARS of separation and they joy in their eyes is incredibly touching to see. I would highly recommend watching Black Beauty, War Horse, and Spirit (Dreamworks movie). All are incredible films to watch, and might give you a different outlook on how emotional they really are. When a horse bonds with you, it is a truly life changing experience. Hope this help!

Watch the channel called “ Think Like a Horse “ . You will fall in love with his horses .

@@NewDay1000 I don't think you're going to reassure anyone after having just watched a video where the guy lost a foot over a horse accident LOL

Super smart!

So funny! 😂 She's making art too!

It seems like that’s when she started coming over tho the house and spending time with him so I definitely think she understood that he was very hurt. And she knows she bucked him off and then hasn’t been around.

@@kafkollectif525 Horses don't understand those concepts. The way the horse sees it is...she bucked and he dismounted. That's it. She got what she wanted. That's why you always get back on a horse that threw you, so they don't establish a bad habit. That said, he should never have gotten on in the first place.

@@warmblood8016 idk… there are some weird moments with them. My friend bailed off of one of our draft horses and hurt her back doing so. The horse stayed by her even laying down initially, until help came which was a good 10 +min. I get they are animals and we tend to project human emotions onto them- but horses… they are unlike most animals. That’s all I know lol.

@@warmblood8016 Bro tf? The horse probably just got scared, or felt uncomfortable due to the saddle. Horses are way smarter than you think, but people like you probably only see them as food motivated money making machines. That's honestly saddening.

@@VivianaSilverback I'm sure the horse had a reason for bucking. The horse always has a reason for it's behavior and it's never the horse's fault. The horse behaves like a horse. It's the human's fault for not being able to read the horse. That doesn't mean the horse understands why the human is now on the ground and not on it's back. They are not able to deduce. All they know is they bucked and the rider dismounted. Anyone who has horses knows that if you give your horses a treat on a regular basis, they will start to head butt you for treats when they see you. The horse will push to see your hands and if you have your hands in your pockets they will assume you have a treat and start getting pushy. They aren't asking for a treat. They are shaking you down. Finally, the treat falls out of your hand. They know if they do that long enough a treat appears. Horses don't think like humans do, no matter what you say. They are smart, but they are smart for what they are. Horses.

👍👏❤🐎😘🙋‍♀️🙅‍♀️

And he loved her even more! He is an amazing guy!

Totally agree😊 even I felt his love & compassion while watching😍😍😍

Seriously - that is the ONLY thing he could do was to forgive himself, and he said it. That horse. had no culpability - he knew she was off and paid the price for it. And we do NOT know what she went through before she got rescued to begin with.

Yes same!

What an amazing guy

You’re right, it’s definitely more than gold, It’s complete dogshit 🥰🥰🥰

I'm not sure he's a guy but yes, it takes a lot to recognise you're the one to blame and move on.

@Si Ro thanks❤️

@@creativecheersoffashionlau7364 - I always did listen to horses, from an early age. Even when I had Instructors in middle & high school, I never embraced their harsh, many times cruel ways. My philosophy & goal was that I wanted the horse to like & respect me enough to WANT to give me their best. Anyone with a crop can beat a horse enough to make them do something but I NEVER wanted to 'win' by fear. It had to be mutual respect. Later in life, I spent 12 years with my OTTB & a herd of 8. Some of my best times were sitting in the back pasture with the herd on a sunny afternoon. The Arab gelding, whom I ❤, would lay down next to me & put his head & neck in my lap. He was so gentle & careful of me. I was taking jumping lessons at a barn a few miles away & she hit an air pocket in an arena w/ new footing, new instructor, etc., etc. She did a 360° rotational & I am very lucky to be alive & not paralyzed, but the damage is significant. Sadly, my riding days came to a crashing halt. It will never get better & my missing them hasn't lessened one iota - after all these years. I miss the sounds, their sweet smell and... everything. I'm glad you still get to be around yours. Hand grazing outside of their normal pastures is a very bonding experience. ❤🐴❤🐎

@@mdee860 i am so sorry to hear that. I understand that for you it won’t get better. I know that I am very lucky to still be able to be around my horses. It truly is a blessing. So sorry you cannot…. Stay strong🙏🏻

Why would he blame the horse for the loss of his leg. As he clearly details, losing his leg was his own fault.

Michaela all animals are capable of this these qualities it's just most humans fail to perceive them. But understand this it's DANGEROUS to have a heavy animal in a confined space with so many obstacles. It's a death trap & he just doesn't know he's in one. Horses can get very attached to humans & vice versa as this one has but it takes one second for them to accidentally react & crush you in a small space.

Agree!

That can seriously damage the horse. there are so many things that can happen if that horse slips and falls on the hard wood floors. there's a reason that there isn't furniture in a horses stall...

Why would any one in their right minds blame the horse for refusing consent ?? The horse did not consent to him riding her but he forced her into riding .
