my thoroughbred pic of her when she was hit by a car last may

This is a discussion on my thoroughbred pic of her when she was hit by a car last may within the Horse Pictures forums, part of the Horse Pictures, Videos, Artwork, and Contests category; I would probably have shot the person in the car. I have overheard some truck drivers say how fun it ...

honk the horn when someone is riding near the road, I hope this car was at least just an idiot. It would really make me mad if they were the kind of person that would have thought it was funny to see the horse spook.

Anyone else thinking of the Horse Whisperer right now? I still cry every time I see the opening scenes.
I cry every time!

That's horrible. Some people are real idiots when it comes to cars and horses though...a while back my friend and I were riding through her neighborhood to get to a trail...wide streets, very quiet usually. But then these younger men in a pickup somehow thought it would be funny if they sped up and revved the engine really loudly as they were going past. I almost got tossed over someone's fence. Fortunately nothing worse happened then the horses wheeling quickly even farther into the shoulder and snorting a bit.

I'm glad she healed up...how is her eye?

How awful! Do you have updated pictures? I always get a bit nervous road riding. I thought of the Horse Whisperer movie too.

I am glad she pulled through and that you are getting to ride again. I don't like riding on the rodes because there are so many idiots out there.
I would also Like to see some after pictures.

Wow, that's awful. I had a near catastrophe with my then-4 yo a few years ago. A cargo van sped by at 65mph in 35mph zone and my horse freaked out and missed getting sideswiped by a matter of milimeters because the person didn't even bother going around. I now feel incredibly lucky that nothing happened, cause those are some gnarly injuries. I'm so glad your horse is okay!

Poor baby!
We want to see current pictures! Good for you for getting her through it.
I'm always so nervous about riding on the road. My horse has never spooked at a car or anything, but there's always that one time that I'm worried about. No one seems to understand horsexcar etiquette.
