I feel bad for the horse being bothered by so many people coming into its personal space… That big sign in the background is there for a reason👌

[DawnSummersett-kd]

She ran over there frightened the horse and did not read the sign at all

It's not a petting zoo. These are military horses Pay proper attention to them - they are not stage props.

Made up serves her right, drama queen

😂read the sign there for a reason. Lesson learned the hard way.

[Gazman]

The warning signs are there, she ignored them, and found out why it was not wise to. Lesson learned, I trust.

There’s no doubt it hurt but these poor horses she jumped in behind not a good move ! The signs are there .

The lady holding camera was saying in Chinese: you are blocking, go take another picture. If this group had a tour guide, I blame it on him for allowing and exposing his group to the horses. The sign said they bite 😢

She saw the camera on her.. DRAMA QUEEN..

Some very impulsive folk out there that move in too quickly and abruptly toward the horse.

[simonheed]

Yes a really bad injury, she's brainless !!

[sharyn]

Bad on all sides - yeah there's a sign but clearly this lady cannot read English she's speaking a foreign language. And yeah the horse is probably hungry, tired, or uncomfortable. Tourists beware !

Stood in front of a sign saying horses may kick or bite. Gets bit

[hollierushby]

She is right under a sign that says the horses bite. What on earth did she expect? You wouldn't want to be stroked, poked, and prodded by strangers all day, so why o earth would a horse. They are there to do a job. You wouldn't distract a service animal.

[sekuroz]

That tourist is liable for her own self. There are signs there. She did it at her own risk.

Have you ever seen a horse from a Mounted Police Horse Patrol in the United States bite anyone. I have not. People rush up to them all over this country and the horse never reacts. I’ve seen videos where people hit or kick the horse, no reaction. Proud of how Mounted Police Officers train their horses in the United States.

Is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that a human being just got bitten and humiliated?
You all are standing up for the horse, but what if this woman was your child, wife or friend?
