A viral TikTok video shows a large white dog sneaking into a horse field, narrowly avoiding a powerful horse kick before being chased by multiple horses. Despite the dog’s close call with potentially dangerous kicks—measured in studies to exert forces comparable to nearly 2,000 pounds—the dog appears unharmed and even happy at the end. Viewers expressed concern for the dog’s safety, emphasizing the strength and risk of horse kicks.

To safely introduce dogs to horses, experts recommend thorough obedience training, starting interactions on a leash, teaching dogs to respect horses’ space, and closely monitoring both animals’ body language and behavior. Dogs should never be allowed to chase or play with horses, as this can provoke dangerous reactions. Constant supervision and control are essential to prevent injury to both dogs and horses.
