It’s otherwise possible, but actually having it stand up and be able to keep it’s balance sounds like horseshit. Also I don’t think it intentionally bashed it’s brains in to eat them, but I wouldn’t be surprised they might when some spills.

Like trying imaging a horse walking on two legs. It’s just the anatomy doesn’t really allow for it, even to the extent that cats and dogs do, which can do some steps.

Deer can absolutely stand on two legs, and even stumble around a bit. Here is an example, looks like it’s in search of food:

Anyhow, I do agree it’s very improbable, but the story is certainly possible, especially if you ignore the likely hyperbole about “brains everywhere”.

  Oh yeah, my bad. Totally proved me wrong there. Don’t know why I thought they wouldn’t. Perhaps my intuition thought more about massive horses, actually. I feel like they’d be too front heavy to pull anything like that off with their massive necks, but seeing how incorrect I was about deer, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn I’m wrong in that, too.
  
  Oh yeah. I totally am.

  Agreed.

    Well that horse is majestic af. I am going to go ahead and assume she enjoys performing the trick, otherwise I wish her luck in crushing her captors.
