Once, when Lazar was about 5 or 6, Darko took him riding on a big horse. Horses have forever been part of Darko's family life -- his parents had a farm, and there were always animals around -- and, even now, despite being the size of a small SUV, Darko still likes to ride. He likes that Lazar is interested in something his father enjoys.

These days, Darko rides a horse named Astor, who is a 12-year-old "really, really big horse" that the stable in Novi Sad found for him. Darko finds riding peaceful.

But on this day, it was Lazar in the saddle, and as Darko watched by the railing, the horse took off. All was fine, but then the horse began to buck and Lazar began to tremble a little bit and suddenly the boy pitched off the side of the saddle, hanging upside down alongside the horse's flank.

Darko screamed. One of Lazar's legs was caught in a stirrup. His body shook limply, banging against the horse's flanks. His tiny head dangled near the horse's hooves as the animal galloped. If Lazar fell, he would be trampled.

Darko and another man ran out into the ring, shouting. They were able to control the horse after a few seconds, but even once the horse was subdued, Darko found himself quivering. He scooped Lazar up and held him close. Lazar was crying. Darko was so scared for his son and so angry that he turned around and slugged the horse in the face. (I checked with Radoslav Bursac, who runs the stable -- the horse was fine.)

:rofl:
