Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Am I the only one that felt bad? That must have hurt.

[–]Tolka 14 points15 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That was my first thought too. :( Falling like that is dangerous for horses.

[–]tjsfive 23 points24 points ago

My first thought was "that could've broken his back." :(

Horses are ridiculously fragile. My first thought was he probably twisted his front leg collapsing onto the ball like that. Better go get rifle.

[–]NoNeedForAName 1 point2 points ago

From what I understand, their legs are ridiculously easy to injure in a situation like this, but their torsos are pretty damned tough. It probably didn't really injure any ribs or anything, so as long as it didn't hurt a leg it should be okay.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert. This is all anecdotal. Feel free to correct me.

[–]dclowd9901 2 points3 points ago

Not an expert, but our family has owned horses for about 12 years now. You're pretty spot on about their torsos being good and rugged, but horses just don't know how to fall gracefully, and rarely is the injury one that doesn't affect the legs at all if they fall.

Something about when horses fall just looks so much more painful and clumsy than any other animal I have ever seen.

The problem with being playful with a horse, is that it can easily fuck you up without trying.

I use to play "tag" with my neighbors horses. I got really good at bleeding.

I don't like horse fail video's because I always think they'll have to kill the horse afterward. Horses are just not meant to fall down. They break easy.

Oh come on folks. That's a standard Parelli ball. Our horses played with them all the time in a very similar way. One big thoroughbred just this morning was running full tilt around his paddock and slipped and wiped out like this video. He got up, shook, and chilled out. They're stronger than you think. Sure they can be hurt in the wrong situation but they're still tough.
