Today, while riding around the lake, a pair of kids thought it was okay to take turns yanking my horse's tail and running away so they didn't get kicked. When I told the parents not to let their kids do that, they said that I shouldn't be riding if I can't "control my beast". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a rodeo warming up while my mom unnecessarily bragged about my training skills to a client. My horse then threw me into a gate at a full gallop, in front of everyone. That was the first time he'd ever misbehaved. FML
Today, my parents came to visit me at the ranch I work at. They're scared to death of horses, but I was explaining how they are almost completely harmless. I was showing them how to work around the horse without getting kicked. As they relaxed, the horse kicked me. I now have a broken leg. FML
Today, my neighbor scolded me for "allowing" her son to be bitten by one of my dogs. This would be reasonable, except for the fact that her kid had jumped my fence and tried to steal a rattle out of my daughter's hands. FML
Today, on my family vacation, I tried to put my foot down and declare that my daughter would absolutely not be babysitting anyone's kids. Everyone got mad and made us go home. FML
Today, some paddleboarders screamed bloody murder and called marine patrol on my family's friends, because the paddleboarders thought they were going to get hit or run over or whatever, even though they were politely asked to move out of the way multiple times. FML
Today, my dad tried to help me overcome my intense fear of horses (due to nearly being killed by one as a child) by taking me to a ranch. Within 30 minutes, a horse bit my face. FML
Today, I went horseback riding with this guy I like. I asked him to help me get on the horse. I slipped, and while trying to keep my balance, I kicked him in the face. FML
Today, while I was working at the golf course, two kids stole a golf cart and pulled a snowboard behind it. When I tried to stop them, they ran me over. FML
Today, I was thrown from a horse. Thankfully, there was a trainer there to break my fall and prevent serious injury. Instead of being concerned for my safety or even grateful, my boyfriend flew into a rage that the trainer’s hands had brushed my breasts while saving me. FML
Today, I have a rowdy toddler who will run off if I'm not watching her like a hawk. I got sick of it and bought a tether for her. It works wonderfully, but now I get judgmental stares and nasty comments about "putting a child on a leash like a dog." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Record it, and upload it to YouTube with the title "dumbass kids kicked by horse" when it happens. Then when the idiot parents try to sue, the video is available as evidence showing the dumbass's deserved it

Would this happen to be the same horse that tipped his water bucket on you and wouldn't let go of the dog toy?

Yep, same horse. It's good that it wasn't my mare because she's an ex-abuse rescue and she doesn't tolerate anyone coming up behind her regardless of reason.

Couldn't you say the same thing to the parents in regard to them controlling their kids? Don't take them places if you can't control them.

Clearly, they aren't parenting. They shouldn't be breeding.

Just start cantering straight at the kids. Obviously don't actually run into them, but just give them a good scare.

**** that, go as fast as the horse is physically capable. Bonus points for swinging a riding crop in their general direction. If the little ***** aren't in therapy for the next couple of decades, you've done it wrong.

Nah, what those "parents" spawned are beasts. I would've loved to have seen that interaction though. My sons are passionate about horses, dogs.... Well, animals period. And yes, I would've let them tell those "parents" how they're supposed to treat animals. And no, they're not disrespectful by any stretch of the imagination, nor would they ever disrespect an adult, but my oldest (15yrs) is an aspiring Veterinarian. Plus watching him speak to adults shorter than him is always humorous (he's 6'3").

Tell her she has no business being a parent if she can't keep the behavior of her brats under control.

Well, the other folks said it better than I could: If those parents can't control their children, they shouldn't be bringing them out in public.

People like that piss me off so bad. They think their kids can do no wrong and it's always the other person's fault when they act like brats. I'd let the horse kick them.
