There are people who may not fully embrace the idea of karma, yet there are moments in life that can make it difficult to overlook its presence.  

Let me share with you a fascinating story about a woman who had an unexpected encounter with a wild horse.

When encountering wild animals, it’s important to exercise caution, regardless of their beauty or majesty.
Wild horses, for example, can be quite unpredictable, particularly if they haven’t been accustomed to human interaction.

Assateague Island is truly a breathtaking destination, stretching for forty miles along the coasts of Virginia and Maryland. It is here that you will find the awe-inspiring Assateague horses, adding to the island’s natural beauty.

Assateague Island is a popular destination for tourists who are eager to witness the breathtaking beauty of the horses that inhabit the area.
However, there are certain guidelines in place to prioritize the well-being of both the visitors and the animals.

Regrettably, a certain individual chose to completely ignore these guidelines.

She thought it would be interesting to strike one of these magnificent creatures with a shovel.

An onlooker captured the entire incident on video, which was later posted on the Facebook page «People of the Ocean City Boardwalk.»
In the video, we see a woman wearing beach attire as she confidently approaches a wild horse, holding a plastic shovel.

She appeared to believe that striking the horse would be an effective way to shoo it away. However, she was about to learn a valuable lesson.

Another observer attempted to warn her, yelling, «They’re going to kick you.»
In line with the caution given, the horse wasted no time in responding, seemingly sensing danger.

The woman was sent tumbling into the sand by the powerful kick from the horse’s hind legs.

The force of the impact left the woman looking dazed and disoriented.
The horse appeared to be quite unsettled, although it didn’t appear to have suffered any major injuries.

Before long, two additional horses appeared, seemingly ready to protect their fellow companion.

Visitors to Assateague Island must adhere to strict rules regarding the horses, which prohibit any form of touching or feeding.

Visitors are advised to exercise caution and keep a safe distance of at least 40 feet from the horses, as they can exhibit aggressive behavior such as biting, kicking, and charging.

It was absolutely unacceptable to harm the innocent horse, even if it happened to be close to their property.

The video gained rapid popularity on social media, capturing the interest of The National Park Service and the Assateague Island National Seashore Law Enforcement Rangers.
They highlighted the risks associated with feeding or petting the wild horses, stating.

The online community was not pleased with the woman’s actions.

It’s important to always keep in mind that wild animals deserve our respect and should never be harmed for entertainment or out of anger.

It remains uncertain whether the woman faced any consequences for her actions, but the horse undeniably left a lasting impression on her.
