 hit him, even though you REALLY REALLY want to, so you have to kick the
 stall instead, to vent your spleen.  It's the only time I wish horses had

We had a Standardbred in our stable that would purposefully step on my 
brother-in-law's foot every chance she got--at least twice a week. He never 
caught on, but it had me in tears a couple of times. Another would frequently 
cow-kick him. And the more agitated he got about it, the more they'd ensure 
his misery. The whole shedrow of horses would chuckle when it happened.
