Mine was last week on Monday. My husband got called into work and we had both the horses at our lesson so I had to feed them and put them out alone. My instructor helped me with the first part but then I got cocky and said I could take them out to pasture myself (I've done it a million times with other horses). I forgot that for unknown reasons my husband's horse hates my guts. Like bites me any chance he has, pins his ears any time he sees me even if all I'm doing is walking by with my horse etc. Well I got both horses out into the pasture and got their halters off. I walked back to go out the gate and as I turned to open it he body slammed me into the gate. Thankfully I hadn't locked the gate when I came in since I was only going like 10 feet away to turn them loose so when I hit the gate it opened instead of staying closed. I hit the ground and immediately started waving my arms and yelling to get him to back off since the gate was now open. Thankfully I wasn't seriously hurt and none of the horses escaped but now I know that I can't handle him on the ground unless someone else is there!
