Ooof, close call this aft!
Seen the damage this horse has done to others, yet managed to stupidly get distracted and walked close past stable door while I was in on way to tack room.
That moment when the last chance your peripheral vision can work, you see a horse lunging over the door at you with flat back ears, open mouth and practically snarling! What do you do? I went for the Bust a 'Matrix' move and glad I was lunged at before I'd lost all sight of the horse and was got from the back.
If those teeth had made contact (was going for neck/shoulder) by the savageness, I would have been ragged or thrown, not nipped. Tonight would have been spent in A&E.
Lesson learned again, don't get distracted around horses!
What have your recent close calls been?!
