I think he certainly got what he deserved

a kick at full leg extension is the worst! i have had it on my hand and it broke my fingers! what a shot!
 
Ugh! As someone who has been double barreled in the face, pretty much demolishing every bone in it, that brings back some horrible memories... I can still remember the 'crack'.

I wasn't thrashing my horse at the time, I would like to add :p
 
mmm what goes around.. comes around!

with regard to horse coming through jockey door, a livery at our yard had this happen with her horse in her ifor williams, he unloaded himself through the open jockey door after she loaded him, couldn't believe a 15.1/2 fit through it!
