i have the vague sense that I'm too much of a city person to truly grasp how horrifying that is.

Like I know that people have been trampled to death by horses and I know that a horse is damn heavy, but my brain still struggles to decide if this is attempted murder on screen or not.

edit, because I had to look it up: An average horse weighs around 1100 pounds/500 kilograms, not including the scum sitting on top.

A single horse kick is lethal. You do not want to be anywhere near their hind legs unless they are very calm and unlikely to spook and very aware of your presence.
