I'd be worried about me freaking out, causing the horse to freak out and stomp me to death. This thought itself would of course (of course) increase the chance of me freaking out about the horse.

Would it make you feel better to know that horses bias very heavily to the flight side of fight or flight?

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah but they're real good at injuring themselves and those around them when they do.

Until it gets a leg stuck in the tent somehow

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The are so heavily biased into running away that getting their legs stuck is a common way for them to lose a leg.

What the GP gets wrong is on the assumption that it's safe to be near a horse trying to run away.

But that's a brown horse. I've only ever seen white horses fly.

Yeah, but what if it flies into the tent and crushes me

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Horses in that situation would be much more likely to run away I think. Note: I'm not a horseologist.

“Hey bud, good mornin’… You doin’ alright in there?

Smells like another night of rumplemintz and questionable decision making, huh?

I’ll give you a minute, looks like your wiener’s showing.”
