    Are horse legs actually fragile, or does it take a lot of effort to break one?

    If fragile, I think people are overcomplicating this. You’ll probably get fucked up in the process, but once the horse is crippled your grim deed is done. If they’re not fragile and you’ll need to seriously wrassle them down to exert enough force, you’re almost certainly dead.

      You mean like, fighting a horse by punching it? No that fucker gonna kill you. You might win if you have a spear and you know how to use it. But if it gets to you with it’s hooves you’ve lost.

      Now if you can convince the horse you’re a lot scarier than you are, it might do what you want it to.

        Only reason why they don’t kill us on sight after all we’ve put them through: for all their amazing physical prowess, they’re also easily spooked idiots 😂

      Uh, no. And one kick can kill you

      Horses can kick forwards, backwards and sideways. They can rear up to about 12 ft tall and stomp your head.

      Plus they weigh about 1200-1600 lbs, although percherons weigh much more.
