Hoo boy, the rough week for horses continues. In addition to in the wake of three horses dying on set, a contestant on “Full Metal Jousting” was kicked off the show this week for punching a horse in the face. From: Before practice began, Landon Morris, a 27-year-old whose bio says he “learned to ride horses in private school, picking up several riding disciplines and playing polo,” punched his horse full on in the face. “He stepped on my foot,” Landon explained, and his coach, Rod Walker, said, “And you punched him in the head?” “Had to get him off quickly.” Rod said, “I see you punch a horse in the head again—no, seriously!

Don’t f**king punch a horse in the head. What is wrong with you?” As great as Rod’s “Don’t f**king punch a horse in the head” quote is, it is still only the second best quote from this story. That is because the producers went back to Landon later to ask him about the situation, and these words came tumbling out of his big, beautiful mouth (words, as a reminder, that are about punching a horse in the face).

“I’m not upset that I did that. I did it for the right reason.” I love every single thing about this story. Relevant video below. Maybe when standing next to an animal that weighs over a thousand pounds and can’t see it’s own feet, it should be the person who takes care not to let the horse step on their feet.

Even if the horse did step on his foot, what the fuck is punching it in the face going to accomplish. The horse probably doesn’t even know it’s stepping on that piece of shits foot. All it knows is that this asshole is just punching him in the face. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it. Fuck this spoiled whiny bitch. People have to remember a hoarse is a ‘beast of burden’ that is domesticated by humanity for work. If an animal hurts a human the human has the right to fight back against it.

The hoarse weighs over 1,800 and most of that weight directed of a hoof can destroy a persons foot. Boblaw Punching the hoarse in the face got the hoarse of his foot, that was what it accomplished. The hoarse was not hurt so what was the reason for kicking him out Exactly there is no reason. The host takes his job way to seriously and does not understand the idea of domestication, sure a hoarse is ur partner but it doesn’t understand words only pain and what was Landon suppost to do rub the hoarse and ask it to please get off his foot?

Anyway the horse is an animal. Jake I’ve taken care of horses and I do understand they have feelings but I feel Landon’s punishment was to harsh, as he was protecting his own safety. What should he have done differently? Also say if I was doing something to hurt you, I would understand you punching me in the face because I would stop whatever I was doing instantly. Smashing Pumpkins Aeroplane Flies High Rar. Anyways on my post I never said horses didn’t have feeling just that they have been domesticated as beasts of burden.

Jake do u feel it’s right for the host if the show to call Landon out and say he has to grow up, I do feel that was completely unnesasary and conflict could have been avoided by just saying that the rules of conduct don’t let u hit the horse even for your own safety. Jake I know ur a horse lover and I love horses to but please refrain from saying stuff u will regret.

Landon proved not only that he’s a spoiled rich boy, but also that he’s a mouth-breathing neanderthal with no real understanding of horses. A horse is not a shark, that you have to punch in a face to communicate with. It is a thinking, intelligent and trained animal, and would have responded to him if he even remotely tried to communicate with it. It’s not even like he punched the house automatically, as some knee-jerk reaction.

We waited several seconds and then punched it out of annoyance. Horses have long memories for being mistreated, and anyone who works with horses knows that if they don’t respect or trust you, they will not listen to you, and they will only work for you grudgingly if at all.

It’s a good thing they kicked him off that show, because if he tried riding that horse again, it would certainly not go well for him. That’s not the kind of relationship you want to have with a giant animal that has your life in its hands. If you can’t treat the horse with respect, there’s no point in trying to ride it or win any sort of contest on its back. Horses that dislike their riders will absolutely sabotage them. I feel genuinely bad for the horses on this show, because they’re being roughly jerked around by green riders who think they can just bully the horse into doing what they want. Like all those guys want to ride Praetorian, becasue they all think they can be the one who “tames” him. He’s a flawless horse, he’s just tired of having idiot riders.
