I think there's also an element of the horse wanting to say hello. Horses are social animals and we've bred them for thousands of years for docility and liking us.

I noticed that too. Horse went from noble steed to big puppy.

I used to work and live on a horse ranch. They really do turn into big silly puppies. 🤣 Horses can be so goofy.

My dad was a cop and rose a horse when he could for patrol so we had a few. All police trained horses but we had a HUGE one (sorry I don’t remember the breed, larger than a paint but smaller than a Clydesdale). I remember when we went to ride him and see if he was coming home with us. He was scared of a bag stuck in a tree. Bro you are police trained and this bag is scaring you? Horses are silly. My horse would always be at risk for tripping because he never fully picked up his feet. Well unless we were headed back. But my dad’s personal horse if he knew we were headed back to camp he would get EXCITED and kick up speed if you let him. So then my dad would have to plan the trail to be a loop so the horse didn’t really know when we were headed back to camp lol.

Lol! Spree was half Arabian and was 18 hands, so pretty big, and she also spooked at a bag in a bush once. She threw me pretty good, I was totally unprepared (and bareback as usual). Like, madam, you are the size of a small car, that's a 7/11 bag. Such silly giants.

Don't be sorry, it absolutely is. I'm comfortable enough to make them anywhere. :)

Satans horse liked me and no one else. He broke my trainer’s tailbone and was banned from lessons. Only threw me once and that was my fault

u/TroubleBeautiful8776 23d ago

I mean, the rider can put him on a dime but I don’t think there is a command to make the horse do silly faces haha

12

u/Caridor 23d ago

Oh it could probably be done! Reward wanted behaviour, then only reward when done following a command but somehow, I doubt they've done that here :P

u/Shining-Ripple88 23d ago

Yeah i notice that.

Wasn't one of them sent for behavioral rehabilitation for using its treats to lure pigeons in and stop them to death

u/Caridor 23d ago

Apparently, yes. A horse named Obelisk.

You get bad apples in every bunch

They can feel vibes and heartbeats from over 4’ away. They know the good ones and act accordingly. They’re quite amazing beings.
