I think I've built a fortress in the middle of some kind of horse revolution. All the peasants (it's in the center of a human town) are systematically chasing and hunting down the horses, which are scattered all over the map. Sometimes the horses are killing them.

I have no idea what's going on, but nobody's attacking me, so I'm enjoying it. I can't wait to visit the carnage in Adventure Mode.

I think one of the horses just kicked a guy's head off.

This may be one of the most entertaining things I've ever watched.

Back in my adventuring days, I would go by a human town and read the messages about a horse going insane and people dying. Sadly, I never got to see it in action.

Jesus christ, there's a nearly dead child floating in the river next to my forge.

Just floating there. Bloody water all around it.

I think he's missing both eyes. Vicious freakin' Palominos.

horses are evil...and not just in DF.  

[Makrond]

They're not Palominos, they're goblins in Pantomime.

I've seen this in three or four more posts on the forum, not including my own experience.
I made a little fort inside a human town, with the purpose of creating a home for my adventurer. But when I got there a group of horses had already slaughtered half the village, and the remaining half were huddled inside the "castle." The children, however, were chasing the horses all over the map, endlessly, unless one of them got kicked in the head and died.
Tis quite strange indeed.

Yep, horses are nasty, nasty creatures..

On the map I'm currently on I've got skeletal horses (and wolves).

My worst experience to date, though, was starting out on a map horribly infested with hippos.. it was one of my very first forts, and by the time I was three or four years in, I probably had almost as many named animals as Boatmurdered..

Oh yeah?  You should've heard about my "Groundhog Day" experience.

I traveled to abandoned ruins, goblin fortresses, and human towns and everywhere I went, there were groundhogs.  

Apparently they were tired of being the downtrodden animals that they were, and had decided to overthrow the so-called "higher" races to make way for a groundhog democracy.

Unfortunately, groundhogs are not well-known for their strength in battle.  They were all executed, their small furry bodies littering battlefields the world over.
