Heat Causes Horses to Foam at the Mouth
I like horses. They have shiny teeth. You can feed them sugar cubes. When it gets real hot they get all foamy. A horse can’t sweat it just foams and if it gets too hot the foam comes out of their mouth. Keep cranking up the heat and they get blood mane, fangs, and extremely bloodshot eyes. Horses like that aren’t even afraid of fire. You know how they say horses are afraid of fire, like that scene at the end of the howling where they trap all the howlings in that barn and burn it down to kill all them. Well if you try to kill a foaming horse like that, it doesn’t work like on regular horses. Foaming horses are bad asses. It’s like something changes in their genes and they become fierce carnivores. No longer the gentle creatures that girls love and wear on their sweatshirts. These horses are a match for any beast even a lion. I hear this one zoo got too hot and all these horses foamed up then they stampeded out of their pen. First they attacked the lions. They smashed them down with their hooves then tore the lions apart and ate them alive. After that they went after this Kodiak bear couple. Kodiaks are the largest bears but they were no match for the foaming equines. Those horseys galloped the bears down into a couple of bearskin rugs. I think this was supposed to have happened at this place called Space Farm, but I went there and didn’t see any foaming horses even though it was really really hot.
Could it be that the Mares of Diomedes, King of Thrace, were foaming horses?
The legend doesn’t say..
i read the same thing happens to baby hamsters. Once they get going their even worse than army ants, and can strip a full grown man down to the bones in under five minutes.
Once, during a heat wave in Las Vegas during the chistmas holidays, the AC in a popular pet store gave out and the hamsters went berzerk, eating their way through a crowded shopping center, devouring scores of elderly and other slow moving shoppers. But when it was over and the hamsters returned to nomal, they were so darned cute no one wanted to put them down, and they were happily adopted by the local children, many of whom lost siblings or their grandparents during the ravenous rampage.
They should remake that movie piranha 2: the spawning only with hamsters instead of fish.
that would be the feel good movie of the year!
I read the Lone Ranger’s horse, Silver, would do this from time to time. nc, while he was out in the desert he found himself attacked by a tribe of wild indians. Let me just say Silver didn’t have to eat for a month after that.
sometimes they foam if they eat alka seltzer tablets, so it could just mean they have indigestion so you don’t have to worry about being eaten by a horse.
