It's because of broke brained horse people and politicians that think that horses are a symbol of the American West.

loving yes.

I get most race horses having more drugs in them than an entire NFL team and aren't fit for consumption by anything but cockroaches, but if a wild mustang trips and breaks it's neck on a road reflector because it heard a pinecone fart I should be to able to hack a chunk off it to grill later without society judging me.

I've seen one of those huge mofos get horned up once. It looked like it was just going about its business while this giant dong just slowly inflates out of nowhere in its crotch. Then it tried fuckin the other horses. So it's probably in there somewhere. Penis is stored in the balls.

What about work horses? They've got big beefy legs. How easily do they spontaneously combust?

IIRC work horses are actually pretty chill and are probably safer than most horses less than half their size. Mostly from that video of a tiny 9 year old girl riding around a gigantic Clydesdale like ten times her size.

Work horses are extremely chill and good, horses are like dogs in that in general the bigger they are, the nicer and gentler they are, the smaller they are the meaner and more easily scared they are. This is true until you get into pony breeds, at which point they stay mean, get smart and tough and just get more of all of those things as they get smaller.

The comparison with pugs upthread is a good one. There's a number of breeds of horses that have been intensively bred for generations for stuff that has nothing to to with survival or easy handling and it shows pretty badly. Including outright designer breeds that are intended to look or move a certain way and everything else gets sacrificed for that. And like dogs, plenty of horses suffer as much from poor upbringing/living conditions/training as poor genetics.

Horses have very good memories and are surprisingly good at reading human emotion, but fundamentally relate to the world in a way that's pretty alien to us bc of prey drive. I used to ride a horse who would spook at the sound of her poop hitting the ground.

Source: 20 years working at a horse rescue. No dumb horse death stories tho, idk what dummies are having heart attacks all the time, probably thoroughbreds, even the crosses I've met have all been wackadoodle. The common racehorse in my area is standardbreds and maybe because they have to be chill enough to wear harness they're actually great.

You can get horse meat pretty easily in the US now but its not particularly competitive flavor wise with more readily available and popular meats.

Reminds me a bit of PI threads about rabbits; weirdly they have a thing or two in common with horses in being domesticated prey animals, so their whole social instincts are completely different from dogs and cats that we're used to. (and birds are their own extremely silly thing)

I can see the appeal for the more functional ones in that they're basically dogs you can ride like motorcycles

Also, I once did research with the national coroner's office, and horses are the animal that kill the most people in Australia by a significant margin. Runners-up iirc are dogs and kangaroos. Sharks are on par with bees.

Fair, and I'm not kidding about the jumping in front of cars part. An old friend of mine barely survived his car catching fire after hitting one. Also there's even odds the roo will hop away.

Nah I no joke heard that the aversion to eating horses is some deep-rooted Anglo thing, it goes back hundreds and hundreds of years. Something about paganism, like, horses were sacred to the pagans so it was forbidden to eat them. Or maybe it was that pagans thought it was sacred to eat horses so Christianity banned eating them. Something like that.
