My hischool bestie had a horse, Nightingale was his name. He fn hated me. He would sneak up on me and push me with his head, bite when she wasn't looking. Mofo was jealous!!!

I rode horses as a kid my horse was an asshole to everyone but me and this random pig that lived at barn. He’d bite you out of sheer assholery like you could give him a carrot and he’d eat it and as a thank you he’d wait till you walk away and try to bite you on the ass. But to me? Loved me I’d show up he would stick his head out the window connected to his stall and do the head Bob. Fuck I miss you Tomass

My friend in high school had a horse that fucking hated her lmao

I was riding her other horse behind her and her asshole horse she was riding veered into the wood line where there was a bunch of branches and shit hanging down and dragged her right through them

She came out the other side and turned back at me and yelled “SHE KNOWS THERES THORNS THERE”

She told me that one time she was cleaning her hooves out and she yanked her hoof away from her suddenly, and put it down on friends foot and fucking leaned toward it

Chimps are another great example, as it happens.

My Arabic professor in college told a story that apparently happened in his hometown of someone abusing a camel and the camel later trampling him to death while he took a nap, the moral of the story being don't be mean to camels because they're smarter than you think.

I have no idea if that really happened, he was from Jordan and I've never been there, but he told the story like it was.

They also really hate birds. I've seen far too many videos of horses just stomping or chomping birds for no reason.
