Have you ever seen a horse fight? (pics)

ewww... is he missing an eye?

That's what I thought.:(

So wrong

Yeah horses can get vicious... that fight is rotten though...

Spaniards have some pretty fucked up past times. I guess they had to turn to animals and inanimate objects after their reign of world domination and blood line poisoning ended - Bulls, horses, golf clubs...

Still, it is acceptable there and who is to say what is right or wrong... every nation has some fucked up custom / pastime. Not to them of course, but to outsiders.

that's fucked up

If you've never seen horse mating.....geeze, it is one of the most brutal things I've ever seen. I think the mares are the ones that started campaigning for artificial insemination :winkwink:

Peaches. They did that, because most of the time, the stud blows his load before he ever gets it in.

It is actually kind of sad.

damn, looks like they both have seen some battle before..

so they're not so different form men then? :glugglug

I remember being down the beach drunk as hell with a few buddies when one of my buddies decided to start talking to a cop on a horse about the horses cock...18", about a foot and a half....:1orglaugh

Don't know what kind of men you've been with :Graucho

all animals fight. only the strong survive. Hence the "food chain"

Doesnt look like its enjoying it much

I'm not sure where you got that information.

I have personally bred over 5,000 head, whether handling a stud hand breeding, herd pasture breeding and I've also had my arm in probably a thousand mares AI and doing other repro work.

"They" did that so that the gene selection could be spread over many states usen cooled transported semen, and more recently, international using frozen semen. Also because people don't like expensive mares with bite marks on them. :2 cents:

... and also because when you have a stallion worth $50,000 or a million dollars, you don't get the shit kicked out of him 40 times during the breeding season. Rather, you put him on an every-other-day collection schedule and breed 4 or 5 mares with one collection and ship that semen out by FedEx or put it on an airline.

It's a matter of economics really.

They do the same thing with Cows...

they collect the stuff, freeze it and sell it off. That is if you have a superior horse people will want to buy its sperm.

:banana

Exactly.
But collecting bulls is a little different deal :)

Bull semen freezes real well also where stallion semen is pretty tricky. Some won't freeze at all.

Here's an interesting fact: Stallion colloection is done on a breeding phanton or a "jump mare" kept in estrus with drugs. (Lutalyse, which "lyses" the corpus luteum on the ovary, which in turn induces the estrus cycle).

Bulls are mostly collected on a "hot steer" made "hot" with estradiol, not cows.

WOW that looks pretty fucking vicious

Ahh, to be "hung like a horse".

I know poor bulls... they gotta jack them off to a castrated bull.

They could atleast give them a cow :(

LOL, it's better than the alternative :)

When collecting bulls for the purpose of breeding evaluation (usually done once a year) they stick an electro-ejaculatur up their ass while restrained in a chute, and crank up the juice. :eek7

Horses eat Horses???? :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh

Interresting post, horses look like they can bite something wicked:(

A fellow horseman! Howdy, nice to have some understanding now and again.

They can actually remove fingers or break bones.

Yeah..the last thing anyone wants to deal with is shipping, some of the worst things that happen to high-end animals happen when they're shipped. Better to keep the mare at home, and have the jizzjuice shipped. Then there's the market overseas as well, opens up income potential :)

Hi Lady M :)

Yea. Most people don't know that I made my living from the back of a horse (or in the back of a mare LOLOL) for 20 years :)

Bite, heh. I have seen a stallion pick up a man by the shoulder and throw hin 20 feet. That'll fuck you up.

I also have a friend who is a breeding manager in Ohio that had her calf muscle ripped off by a stallion striking while she was leading him through the breeding barn heat-checking mares. Ouch :(

AST

I saw a machine that the stallion fucks.

It had a bunch of small jars on a turn table and as he screwed the machine it went around. I guess they had a scent on the machine because that stallion didn't waste any time mounting it. :1orglaugh

Don't know if I still have the movie clip.

Damn those pics are fierce

Ouch :glugglug

why is there a dude in the backround in the first pic? :1orglaugh

Thats kind of freaky.. you don't normally think of horses as mean biters. :1orglaugh
