You guys ever had trouble with horses this time of year

[Hannah4181 260]

Dog to the vet asap, i once saw a collie have a tangle with a horse, took a few kicks, mooched around the farm the rest of the day no problems .............. dead in its kennel in the morning.

 

I would also go and see the owners of the horses and explain what happened, if your dog was under control and on a lead, and the horses were fired up, being a menace, then its nothing more than an accident. IF however your dog is unstock broken, un ruley and a general liability then i would perhaps consider taking up drafts or bingo.

 

We keep a very dog aggressive horse well away from the field that has a footpath running through it, that was until toss chops from the next village allowed his 2 boxers to go tear arsing round the field chasing after the 2 young horses ......... next time they walked through, "Dudley" was waiting for them, funny but he walks the other way now with his fat, slobbering dogs on a lead!

Walking the dogs as I normally do got to the horse field which is never a problem normally the horses don't bother with us and dogs don't bother with them there's 7 shire horses in this field so I'm on the ball anyway but 2 of the horses came charging over stamping there feet on the floor if this had happend any other day I would of bin over the hedge but I had my 4yr old son with me so all that was on my mind was to get him out this field but the horses wouldn't stop by this time the dogs were goin mad my poor boy could tell there was something wrong so was hysterical which only wound the bull x up more I had no choice but to let him go to try and buy me time to get my son out this field. As expected of any dog protecting his master was hanging of this horses neck he got flung off but now all he was seeing was red and wouldn't give up I'd managed to get us out the field so we were safe but now I'm worried about my dog he took a few bad kicks he got kicked in the mouth and a tooth went straight through his tounge which I'm not that fussed about but he is coughing alot now I just hope they haven't damaged him inside do u think he needs to go vets as I'm not that keen on taking him as he has a few marks and my vet don't appreciate this. Also do u think this happend because it's matting season or they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed ha.... Cheers

 

Why the f**k would you walk a 4 year old through a field with 7 large horses with a dog? I dunno, its bad enough they let any c**t own a dog but something needs to happen to stop clowns from breeding!!!

[Tallyho 181]

Take the dog to the vet , hope he is ok and hope the horse is ok aswell , if they were my horses i would not be too pleased to have a dog hanging off its neck .

[Shazza 52]

Horses are foaling around now so they are a little more temperamental than normal. Saying this, a lot of horses will & do attack dogs, putting a horse in a field stops it running away so when a predator (dog) shows up they will go into attack mode instead. I would never walk through a horse paddock with a dog, even on lead. The stables where i kept my horse had a sign at exit/entrance of the public footpath warning people to keep dogs on short leads & walk along the hedgerow, they have attacked at least 2 dogs with thier owners (people not hurt but dogs scared off or kicked) in the last 3 years.

 

I know you were thinking of your kid but you released your dog which attacked the horse, you should go and tell the owner what happened and clear up any ill feelings over it, you are legally responsible for damaage inflicted by your dog and i'm sure you wouldn't want to give other owners bad publicity by running away from that .

 

Your dog should have been taken to a vet as soon as, even though it was racing round like a loon, internal bleeding takes time to cause major problems, by then it's usually too late and the dogs a gonner. A kick from any horse, let alone a Shire, is enough to kill a dog instantly, break bones & cause severe internal injuries.

Just cuz you got a bullX doesn't mean it's hard enough to shake off a kick off a powerful animal as a horse.

ALRIGHT .

BIT OF GOOD ADVICE.

STEER CLEAR OF HORSES TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE,LET ALONE TAKING A YOUNGUN AND A DOG INTO THERE PADDOCK.

I PERSONALLY ,WAS NEARLY KILLED,OUT LAMPING ONE NIGHT WANDERED INTO A PADDOCK WITH 7/8 HUNTERS.

ESCAPED BY THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH.NEVER AGAIN.

Just goes to show the need for breaking your dog to stock. You should be able to let your dog off a lead around stock if the need arises so that the dog can move away from them if they start to show threatening behaviour towards it. You and your lad have had a lucky escape. There are a few cases of dog walkers being trampled to death each year by livestock trying to get at their dogs.

[littlefish 585]

Never ceases to amaze me what stupid planks manage to get hold of dogs.How many times a week do you read a post like this??????

 

If you have to ask if you should take your dog to a vet,then you should take it to a VET!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

And stay away from other people's horses.

[littlefish 585]

apart from bulls, any other animal will back off if you wack it with a stick. Ive had them (horse's,cows, bullocks, rams,) soon piss of if you stand your ground day+night and wack a few of them. . I had it happen to me years ago had young pup in field, when some cows with calfs came into the same feckin field . They came through where a gate+fence was down , 2 cows came straight at me, i picked my pup and wacked the 1st fecker in face, and 2nd stood back . Show no fear to the feckers, or they will hurt you

 

 

But bear in mind that cattle are responsible for deaths every year, including walkers and farmers who work with the beasts every day.......

 

By the way, I have a 'walking stick' as well. I mostly use it when I meet dogs who belong to twats who cannot or do not keep them under control .

No offence to anyone on here but I have one permish that is full of free ranging geegee's and never had any problems with the horses or dogs and yes this includes lamping. Yes they do sometimes approach just chin the buggers and they soon clear off But to prove my point.......... several times Trevor has coursed a wabbit through the herd at night aye they go belting off everywhere but they ain't daft and know the dog isn't after them. Even had them curiously come up to him when he has a rabbit in his mouth sniff the rabbit (He just stood there and allowed it coz he's broken to them) and hurrump then off they go satisfied no danger.

 

These horses though will follow the herd leader and luckily he don't give a toss bout dogs just foxes... bugger stamped one into the mud last summer Poor reynard

Would you take a small child through them? We all go through live stock with our dogs, its unfortunately a part of where we hunt but to take a child into a scenario like that is madness. Animals can sense things a lot more than we can, horses can sense changes in the atmosphere, storms coming etc, very unpredictable. Maybe these horses were stabled all winter, who knows, maybe one of them is hurt and the rest are protecting...... word of advice when you go into a field of live stock no matter how many times you have before, just ask yourself, what if............. after all, their is many a dead animal trainer/farmer who would say if they were a live..... he has never done that before!!!
