I've once given my share Horse a big wallop!
She's 15 and knows what back means and usually is good to handle. One day I was turning her out, her friends kept calling for her and she started to get very prancy and strong, we then had to go past a tree and a gap in the bush were she could clearly see her friends, However you can not get into the field this way and have to walk past it. She had other ideas and dragged me through the gap and into the tree, I was pinned between her and the tree. I asked her to back up but she wouldnt move away, she was still barging into me and I could hear my ribs cracking. So I walloped her on the head she jumped back then I gave her another wallop on the shoulder. That was the first and last time she has ever done that!!
I felt very bad as she wasn't my Horse to discipline, so I called the owner and told her what happened. She said she would've done the same thing and was glad I had hit her otherwise I could've seriously hurt myself.
