<br /> <p>Mary LaValle and her friends went to Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park on April 12 to celebrate their recent graduation from nursing school in Ocala</a>. They probably weren’t expecting to witness a titanic clash of nature.</p><p>In this video, a gasp can be heard from the stunned group as the stallion from the group of horses – which included a mare and her foal – chases the alligator away, kicking at it. In a later video</a> shot by one of LaValle’s friends, the horse stomps the alligator. However, neither animal showed signs of stress or harm after the scuffle, according to local reports</a>.
