I've got first had experience with horse-like animals. I was going down to visit a friend, driving my parents 95 Swift, 4 cyl, 79 hp, 5-spd, but good on gas, but I was cruisin' along, you know how it is, hot day, long trip, one hand on the wheel, other out the window, and I come over the top of this hill. There's this deer in the median, walking in circles. I fugure, oh, it'll stay there, so I don't slow down much, hoping to get by quick. NEVER DO THAT! If you see a deer, nail the brakes, and aim for something less nasty. Anyway, I hit it going about 100kph, lucky for me, just before we made contact, it started running back across the road, and as a result, it rolled off the side. The car was still driveable, the deer was dead, and I was freaked. The mirror had been bust off, and all the pieces landed in the car. The only injury was a small nick on the back of my hand. Luckily enough, insurance covered it, the door, hood and left fender got replaced. All is well again.
