As usual, I’m writing what I know.
Dan’s brother John ran trotting horses for a while. A horse named Poseidon didn’t like him.
Dan and I were petting old Posey when John warned us, “Be careful of that horse, he bites.”
“What? Old Posey? He’s a nice horse!”
Ten minutes later, Posey tried to do this to John. It was a personal thing.
HEheh hehehe.
Legacy did that once to a guy who was aggressively approaching me because I told him he quite plainly sucked as a horseman; and he did it AGAIN to Pete when Pete played at sneaking up on me.
Horses make great guard animals, but I heard tell Asses and Donkeys are even better.
If You’re part of an animal’s herd/territory, gods help anybody who messes with you.
The house-cat has a huge weapon: the hiss. How much you want to bet this tiger thought the little kitty was a SNAKE? http://www.austinprobe.com/cat-saves-woman-from-escaped-tiger/
That horrible hissing can make a grizzly run. All animals are programmed to get the hell away from snakes, if they don’t actually hunt them.
