Horses and horsemanship

i saw but wasnt needed when the preview shows a human on top of a horse

Well you are certainly a sensitive fellow. Humans have ridden horses for eons. What is your opinion of midget tossing?

that depends if the midget is an adult and approves or not

yes: weird but fine with me
no: midget abuse!

Your comparison only fits, if I would have used the whip for beating. But thatā€˜s not the case. If you use it for a light tapping or for laying it onto the horses body to apply some light pressure, then I consider this not as abuse. Same when walking a dog on leash. It’s impossible to keep the leash loose all the time. Eventually there comes the moment, the dog is pulling (for example because he sees a deer or rabbit and wants to chase it). You need to apply force to keep the dog at place. Is that abuse too already for you?

nods i understand your viewpoint and good question
no i do not think walking a dog on a leash is abuse, its a necessary tool for the dogs and other peoples protection

a human riding on a dog i would consider abuse

So would I, lol.

lol thats a good start, so why not a horse? because its bigger and more powerful?

The anatomy of a horse makes the difference.

YES, it actually does!

this seems more like a horse than a dog, do you think it would be ok to ride this dog?

Actually, I would hesitate to give this ā€œdogā€ a whip with the rod in fear of ā€œback bitingā€

Better to ride a horse…

This guy is cool!

This guy is not…this slightly obese guy should get himself a bigger horse…same problem as with a woman far too skinny: NO STAMINA

God. I’m going to go look at sites that don’t make me vomit now.

if you havent watched the latest of the picard series then thats an idea… then again, its the first episode that i enjoyed so you probably will hate it;)

I’ve been watching Picard. Quite enjoying it, too. I like that they curse now and then, and the young Romulan beheading that guy was cool, too. Don’t worry, Nico, maybe they ate his dead body which justifies the killing. I don’t believe they rode any horses so all is well.

excellent;)

(that man did not deserve to die! sorry i cant do a good impression of picard lol)

That was really interesting and informative. Not even confusing at all. I suppose a man can explain but I needed a woman to explain it right. Thanks, Gunda.

Btw, I have extended family in Houston that break, train and perform with horses like this. They have posted video of some shows on FB. It’s really incredible and amazing to watch the way they communicate and perform together.

Youā€˜re welcome. But I also hope I could clarify that I am not an animal abuser and also not justifying animal abuse.

As I already said, due to the anatomy, a horse can carry more than many other animals, including dogs. Dogs, especially large breeds, for example often suffer from disc prolapse. How often did you hear about disc Prolapses of a horse? Very rare.

I am not to blame.
Twitter is so full of shit.
Twitter is to blame for my odd behaviour.
It is a toxic echo chamber and I am its victim.
