"Horses are big and powerful and can do a lot of damage."

Pants were not invented until the horse was domesticated. They (pants) were necessary to straddle the horses back.

“Pants were not invented until the horse was domesticated. They (pants) were necessary to straddle the horses back.”

I thought it was so you had something to poop into when your horse tenses up and you know he/she is about to explode.

It has taken me 1.5 years to MOSTLY recover from an Arabian mare spooking over a two-stroke engine. I’ve also gone sideways down streets because of wind chimes and a bicyclist clad in purple...the latter kind of scared me too! I still haven’t figured out how an animal can have 1000 pounds of solid muscle and still be terrified of a piece of paper.

It took me about a year around horses to realize that you either accept the risk of injury, or get rid of them. Prayers for the spectators, almost none of whom realize that horse & danger go together. Always.

That is BS, but funny!
