That is like saying that a butterfly's fluttering wings caused a hurricane on the other side of the world. Grief victims think about that. Oh my god, I wished him dead and it happened. Their thoughts had nothing to do with it, furthermore, who is to say that other people had the same idea. Do you honestly think that they did not?
If thoughts could kill in that way, then Bush would be dead, the war in Iraq would be over, and all Osoma, or however his name is spelled, would have been killed. Seriously. A lot of people hate them, so why aren't they dead?
You are either over estimating yourself or beating yourself up over the head for something that you did not cause. If a person really has the ability to kill random things and people with "un practiced magick", then do us a favor and rid the world of terrorist and criminals. Let us say the FBI's most wanted, for example.
Do you know the specifics of how the horse died? What was its diet? How was it taken care of before then? How were its genetics? Was it poisoned? Was it worn out? Was it spooked? At the same time, you could have been thinking whatever it was that you were thinking.
Thoughts are abstract things characterized by brain waves driven by electrical activity that can be measured in the terms of a field. If that is not the case, someone think them up a car and see if it manifest. If you argue the astral concept, that is on a different plane of existence that has no affect on this one. If that was not the case, we would have purple backed dragons walking around wouldn't we?
If you would like to see if it really happened, run a controlled experiment. Isolate the variables that were going through your head and the emotions and so on and so forth and try it in a different situation with the same dynamics. It was coincidence.
I grew up around horses, and I can tell you they are very violent and very dangerous. When a horse feels fear or anger they charge at you and attempt to kill you. To be truthfully honest, animals have what is called the hind brain and the mid brain. Those are the parts of the brain that responsible for most of our "primitive" emotions. Those are tied to your basic survival instinct. Animals are more equipped to deal with sudden strong emotions that humans, due to the fact that about 80% of our brain is made up for the fore brain or the cerebral cortex. Emotions are connected to instinct and survival. If you projected any type of emotion to the horse, it would not have cared or it would have responded violently. It would not have dropped dead. Most people make the mistake of thinking of horses as cute, tame little things that are easily spooked. No, they are not.
I had a horse tried to stomp me to death because it got spooked and I was holding onto its lead rope. I helped my grandfather out on the ranch. The first thing they taught me about a horse is don't stand behind it, due to the fact that it will try and kick you to death.
If you are on a period, you can not be around a mare. They will think that you are a female in heat and try to mount you. When they can't, they get pissed and try to kill you. A mare ran a friend of mine up a tree in that type of situation. A animals first response is fight or flight. Most of the time its fight.
A horse's diet can contribute to its state of health, too.

^General idea of the quantum mechanics here, if it did happen that way.
Many humans have this ability, but some have it more then others.
"Luck" is a very important survival tool, and this was "naturally selected" during human evolution. Theoretically.
That is a miss application of what quantum mechanics says on the subject.
The whole thing is coincidence. To me that goes in the basket with the law of attraction. If people were able to manifest things with their thoughts alone, why is there hunger? Why is there war? If that is the case, he should be able to think , "Hey, I want a mansion", and get it. If people were able to alter reality in such a way, why can't I teleport by visualizing where I want to be? Why can't fly through the air like super man and materialize things out of thin air? Being as I am, experienced, and studied, I believe that consciousness can play a hand in influencing matter, but the affects are not THAT spectacular.
