Horse wrecks

a young gelding would throw a real fit on occasion. he threw me several times. i took him to a small rodeo stock contractor
who gave me a few bucks for him. he bucked him a couple times and bucked well. a month later they went to feed and he was laying in the pen dead. glad he did not drop on me out in the sticks. had a free race horse colic and die at home 4 years ago. he was packing real good too.
 
Man, that is weird, but super interesting.
My last horse developed like panic attack seizures or something. He would be fine the some small thing would cause him to lock up and pass out. Last trip in to the local wilderness, he put his head down to take a bite of grass and got my reins slack for a second and stepped on one when he pulled up it tightened and he passed out. He fel over a long steep embankment and down we went. We tumbled cartwheeling and rolling for about 50 yards as I tried to stay out of under him. My saddle was tore up and the contents of my saddlebags was mashed but somehow I didn’t get too hurt and we climbed back up. After that he would get nervous and pass out falling over. I was trapped with a leg under him and fortunately it was soft ground. After I got out , I walked out to the truck and ended up putting him down as we could find no way to get him better and I didn’t want anyone else to get hurt.
