It's clear none of you all have dealt with horses IRL.

If you shake a plastic bag at a car, it doesn't spook and run over 4 kids and then crash into a wall. A car doesn't randomly decide to eject you into the street. A car doesn't stop to poop. I love horses, but c'mon.

Horses don't always stop to poop to be fair, sometimes they just poop while walking.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They are so much more advanced than us!

Speak for yourself. I am perfectly capable of pooping drive by style.

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.org 5 points 6 days ago

If I take a poop while driving does that count?

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, but that's just rude to not let them stop. It's more comfortable for them if the rider leans forward in the saddle (so I was taught growing up)

I've seen horses take a shit mid gallop out in the pasture. I don't think they care much

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

That's just squatting in solidarity.

(disclaimer: I don't know what I'm talking about)

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

That's such a neat trick..

Horses get their drunk riders home all the time here, I have seen them about to pass out, practically sleeping on the horse.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not saying there's no benefits, I'm saying that it's not all benefits. I've just seen horses do idiot things and almost kill themselves and spook and be the generally panicky prey animals that they are.

Plus, how the hell am I supposed to tie a free couch I found on the side of the road to the top of a horse and get that home?

Horses are like bicycles, you can have them pull a little carriage to put stuff in.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can have them pull a little carriage if you spend about 3 months training them to deal with the sound behind them and harness.

I have family that tried this because they "gOt a gUd dEaL!" on a wagon with car tires (part of their apocalypse prepping stuff) and ended up getting a mule because none of their 3 horses could stand the wagon.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Maybe they should have gotten a bicycle instead.

A car doesn’t stop to poop

Because a car doesn't have a sphincter, so they just fart and dribble a little, all of the time.

A car doesn't stop to poop.

This gave me weird mental imagery.

And it's probably a fetish on the Internet somewhere.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I thought that was only the dragons fucking cars thing.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

Isnt a car pooping a little bit all the time?

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I've never dealt with horses but i don't know why people to expect horses to be like this when you realise that any animal is not going to act the same even within the same species

Horses are animals
