    I did riding as a kid quite a bit and I don’t recall ever seeing a horse put it’s own shoes on. In fact, I regularly cleaned the shit out of theirs and they just stood there all high and mighty.

    One even bit me once. Like a nibble. He liked me but I something pinched him while I was opening the girth (had to look up that word in English lol that doesn’t happen often).

    Horses are generally just so terrified that if you were given a basic weapon of some sort, with some range, preferably a spear (I’m assuming guns would be kinda op), you could take down a horse without much trouble, imo.

      Yeah but it’s a bit of a ridiculous premise isn’t it? So I leaned into that.

        Maybe you’re right. They’re probably just shy about where they dress so I never saw.

          Haha now I have an image of a horse in a department store dressing room berating the staff, “excuse me sir, just because I’m a horse does not mean I want to dress publicly!”
