I was wondering how this was "General"

I wonder what kinda damage hitting a horse would do to a Bonne? It couldn't have been pretty....

My thought was that it must not have been a very high rate of speed for the horse to survive, etc.

Yeah, I remember a kid in high school hitting a horse and killing it with his car.

I've seen what deer can do, and I have a feeling a horse has a little more to it...

Wow, usually you have to put horses to sleep after a leg breaks, if it'* bad enough. Lucky horse. Although it may have problems later though it was still alive afterwards. You can also get a DUI for riding a bicycle drunk. That girl is lucky she had a little more protection than a bike.

Not to get too far off topic, but there have been a number of citations in a nearby rural county down here for operating a lawnmower under the influence. Apparently, folk will hop on their riding mowers to cut across to the local conveniece store for more beer...

They probably think "It ain't a car, so I can't be busted for it".
