Horse Shopping Gone Wrong Stories!?

Yes. I was about to buy this previously abused horse Fergie, it was nine years ago and she had suposedly never kicked anybody, so we didn't think she would try to hurt anyone since the owner said she hadn't before. Well, the owner was a liar. I was untacking Fergie on cross ties and the barn owner walked buy with a bucket of grain. fergie slammed my barn owner into the stall, kicked the bucket out of her hands with both legs sending it flying,the owner then moved to the side and she swung her butt and kicked with both legs again. The owner was not hurt but furious! She disciplined Fergie as neccisary but Fergie wasn't even phased she just stood there without even caring about what had just occured. The next day Fergie went back to where she came from, as I am only a advanced begginner at most and I would not want an aggressive animal as my first horse!!!!
