Wait what's the deal with the horses? I want to feel good about myself today.

Edit: Wow, those bastards have it rough.

Their genetics have sacrificed nearly every aspect of basic resiliency for maximum speed on the plains. Most of the work caring for horses is keeping them from accidentally killing themselves. Full disclosure: I worked as a stable hand as a child in exchange for riding lessons. Will never ever own a horse.

I did this too and will also never own a horse lmao. This is why horse people are weird.

Some people love caring for fragile things. Boosts their self-esteem. It can also break them when they fail.
