Re: Painful encounters with animals
I was once bitten by a horse as I did up its rugs .Luckily it was winter and I was well padded up otherwise it would have broken my arm as it was I was hurting for days .
Have been thrown off many times and kicked a couple . Horses are big powerful animals but I love them .

Re: Painful encounters with animals
I once got bit by a big African Grey Parrot, my Neighbour had an Avery and asked if I would come with her to this Bird place to buy some more Birds for her Avery, and I have a habit of sticking my fingers in cages and this particular day this Parrot got me and I couldn't get my finger out and had to ask for help, Staff came and opened up the Cage and had to prize open the Birds beak to get my flat finger out.

One of our Schnauzers Ross, a champion stud dogs managed to scale a 6 foot fence to reach another champion stud dog Bobby and my 16 year old instinct was to pick up the smallest dog and remove it .In the process my hand was badly torn and I had to go to hospital for stitches and a tetanus injection .
In a similar situation now I would attempt to cover the eyes of one of the dogs with a garment of clothing to buy time.
I have silver statue of the dog who bit on my shelf
my boss had it made to go on her car bonnet. When she became to old to drive she had the model mounted on marble and gave it to me .

Yes, me too & bitten. One dear little pony stomped on my foot, deliberately, when I was putting her feed in her manger, evil she was. This was all a long time ago & I do miss looking after horses.

Oh, and someone's pony bit my hand once. He was a bad tempered little ratbag at the best of times.

I know never to go near a feral cat/kitten without gloves now.
