      They should have long ago taken a serious stance on this. Unacceptable to have people walking up to the horses and mounts and grabbing at them, that way. But at this point, I blame the palace for not putting up barriers for the safety of the horses and guards. I'm sure this happens constantly and particularly the animals should not be made to tolerate people coming close to them like this.

      ​@@angeIroque It does. Pulling on the reins too hard puts pressure on the bit inside of their mouth, which can cause pain or discomfort. When a horse it's opening its mouth or tossing its head (often upwards to escape the pressure) repeatedly, it's usually a sign that the bit is uncomfortable or hurting when the rider pulls too hard. Foaming/salivating can also be a sign, although dressage riders often claim this to be a horse "accepting" the bit which is sadly a _very_ common piece of (passionately defended) misinformation. 1:22, 3:21 to 3:35, and 5:23 are examples of how _not_ to handle the reins.

      @@lavishlyvice I learned horsemanship as a child, and I quickly picked up that part of horsemanship is criticizing other equestrians for their posture, the horse's impulsion, throughness, he way the horse is saddled and reined and last but not least, how the horses are kept and groomed. For example, when I was a child, it was still pretty much the norm for horses to be tied up one next to another, seperated by metal frames -- only very expensive horses had a box where they could flop down on the side. There were plenty of people who criticized the practice, and plenty of people who defended it. I remember having an argument with an older man as a child -- he said that a horse that is through for several hours each day does not flop down to rest. I said the polar opposite, i.e. that while horses can take a nap standing up, for deep sleep they need to lie down on the side. I was also against the straight bit and spurs -- because those who taught me how to ride did not use them. Nowadays, I think light use of both does not constitute animal abuse anymore than riding a horse in the first place. Something that is not natural for the horse and imposed on the horse by the human. It is definitely not vegan, but there's plenty of vegans who never gave up riding, and I know why. Because riding a horse, especially one you bonded with, is a rewarding experience. It feels like two hearts beating as one -- for the rider, that is. It's not a friendship between equals, even though vegans who ride horses like to say that. Not until the day the horse can throw the saddle on you, put a piece of metal into your mouth and ride you.
