Wow. That completely changes the picture vs the other one.

Edit: LOL mods gone wild. For anyone wondering, the previous deleted comments added the "brazzers" logo, with the final one adding it over the girls shorts, which made it look like she was not wearing any. I guess it makes sense, as this is /r/aww and not /r/MormonBubblePorn.

Find the CLOP thread in /r/gaming , there's sauce in there for it, I remember some guy posting it and saying its origin. Good luck.

[–]SlimKlim 180 points181 points ago

I came in here just to see if someone said this. My mom rides dressage and has a small horse farm where she boards other horses.

My first thought looking at this picture was how fucking dangerous this is, all the horse has to do is put it's foot down and snap that girl like a twig. This is almost a stupid as laying down on or near a horse that's laying down. They have the mentality of a slightly daft great dane but weigh over a thousand pounds are are terrified of everything. Very few of them will hurt you on purpose, but it happens all to easy by accident.

I've been kicked, stepped on, and knocked into a wall more times than I can count, I've seen people get broken legs, and in one particularly unfortunate sequence of events, my mom's mare cracked her head open when she spooked at something nearby.

[–]MaximumParsimony 34 points35 points ago

Well said, Klim.

I love me some horses, and would, at times, feel like they kind of liked me. Among lots of other horse jobs, I've worked with draft horses... spending all day together you do get a sense of closeness. Those big guys are pretty laid back by temperament and breeding, and every effort has been made to acclimate them to scary things so you don't go on a Nantucket sleigh ride if they hear a car horn, see a hot-air balloon, or any of the million things that could disturb the inscrutable mind of a horse.

Even with all that work, you have to assume something will freak them out. This means that even with the mellowest old horse, you don't step between the horse and whatever equipment they are chained to. You don't hang out where you could get kicked. You be sure not to be connected, or potentially connected, to the equipment they're pulling. You don't leave the reigns, and you don't have the reigns wrapped around your wrist. And you sure as fuck don't get wrapped up in a horses leg as seen in this picture.

These young horse-crazy girls can form some amazing connections with their horse-friends, and I think they are loved back. But horses have freaky little anxious pea-brains largely devoted to not being eaten by things that jump out from behind bushes or otherwise surprise them... and you can never know what they will consider threatening and when exactly they will need to drop what they were doing and tear off at an equine warp nine. And G-d have mercy on your soul if you happen to be wrapped up in their massive death-pistons at that time.

That said, this is a touching picture!

edit: I was considering your great dane analogy. There's something about dogs which seems more loyal, on average, than your average horse. Horses seem less ready to sacrifice themselves, and less aware that they will kill you accidentally than dogs. [Not including dogs which are trying to kill you, of course.] Horses are flighty and unpredictable, and this becomes a problem with the ones you get used to being bomb-proof. Because they're really not, when the wrong stimulus comes along.

[–]ColonelMoran 33 points34 points ago

I fear few things, but horses make me fear for my spine. I rode them until I took a particularly bad throw one day, and since then I've left the love of horse to people far braver than I.

[–]ieatvegans 24 points25 points ago

Slow learner?

[–]SGMD1 68 points69 points ago

Until two weeks ago I'd never heard the word dressage and then we find out Ann Romney is into it and all of a sudden I hear it a dozen times.

Is there a word for this phenomenon?

[–]99trumpets 175 points176 points ago

The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon

"Baader-Meinhof is the phenomenon where one happens upon some obscure piece of information– often an unfamiliar word or name– and soon afterwards encounters the same subject again, often repeatedly. Anytime the phrase “That’s so weird, I just heard about that the other day” would be appropriate, the utterer is hip-deep in Baader-Meinhof."

[–][deleted] 196 points197 points ago

That's so WEIRD... I was JUST reading about the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon the other day!

[–]s2011 17 points18 points ago

Haha I just read about Baader-Meinhof recently.

[–]nikobruchev 23 points24 points ago

Why does everyone always say this? I know some horses can be extremely skittish, but have you never been around bomb-proof horses? Just seems like some people have a negative bias. Just my opinion, of course

[–]BCP27 76 points77 points ago

Once you are around a bunch of average horses for a while.....you just start to assume that all of them could freak out at the slightest noise for now reason and really fuck you up.

[–]plasker6[S] 8 points9 points ago

Caballoco

[–]Snatland 39 points40 points ago

The thing is, horses are flight animals. They've basically evolved to be extremely skittish, to run from any potential danger they detect. Sure domesticating them and breeding mitigates that to an extent, but that's still how they're wired. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think that the 'bomb-proof' horses are the exception rather than the rule. Even a number of the horses in the Equestrian events at the Olympics have spooked at innocent things, and they are presumably very highly trained animals.

However, none of this is really the horses fault, and I don't mean to imply that horses are inherently dangerous creatures or anything like that. You just have to be aware of their general natures and the fact that they could do an awful lot of damage if they wanted, and take appropriate safety precautions.

(Also, though I know what you meant by it, the idea of 'bomb-proof' horses made me giggle!)

[–]nikobruchev 30 points31 points ago

Actually, the term bomb-proof is quite literal. In that median era when horses and artillery were still used at the same time, most cavalry horses were selected for being "bomb-proof". They were selected for being the least likely to be scared of loud noises, explosions, etc.

However, Olympic horses, and other competitive horses, are more likely to be high-strung, very high energy horses. These high strung horses are also more likely to be skittish.

But you are correct, as a large animal, horses do have the potential to cause a lot of damage, they are flight animals, and taking appropriate safety precautions is important. And yeah, some of those terms like bomb-proof can definitely seem a little goofy :)

[–]1N54N3M0D3 17 points18 points ago

bomb explodes

"normal horse"- NOPE NOPE NOPE! OH SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Bomb-proof horse- ear twitches You hear somthin'?

[–]ayohriver 2 points3 points ago

I agree. I think people just don't understand/respect horses. If you're trying to force an animal that's 10 times your size to do something it doesn't want to do, does that really make the horse the idiot?

[–]Bierce_Bash 276 points277 points ago
