it’s rly sweet ppl think I live anywhere near a target like,

i can walk into some of the shops in my town barefoot carrying my dog and nobody will tell me to leave.

target isn’t brave enough to build here.

The last bastion of hope.

yeah also it’s not illegal to ride a horse to a bar and get wrecked in lieu of a designated driver so like. we have a lot going on here.

Let’s be real though, the horse will always head back to its barn, so really this is a great idea. Get smashed, tie yourself to the horse, let the horse do whatever, and you’ll end up at home. 

…..not that I’ve ever done that on a trail ride before. 

Okay, so a trail horse is reliable here, because a horse that’s afraid of city noises will head for home and avoid anything “dangerous” because it’s afraid.

However, in my experience city-trained horses are much more obedient and are unafraid of roads and trust their rider a lot more fully.

So if your drunk ass says “yeah let’s steer into oncoming traffic”

the horse is gonna say “seems weird but okay man.”

Okay this is 100% a legitimate point. 

The only horse you should trust as DD is a horse with a healthy fear of speeding traffic. 

I would hope that that’s all horses

It is possible and common to train the good sense right out of a city horse.

Very very true. 

A city horse would walk facefirst into an oncoming train if you asked it to. 

This is why I prefer country horses with a degree of realization of its own mortality left to it. 

What the hell kinda city has a horse

…I just love the fact that there is a distinction between country horse and city horse.

What is a city horse, what IS it

left ma and pop’s farm to make it big out there…..that horse’s gonna be a star

I know a guy who got a DUI on a donkey

whatever part of whatever country it is that shit like this happens, i wanna live there

From the NYPD Mounted Unit:

“When someone needs something, a lost child, a crime’s committed,
they come up to us because they can see us in the crowd. They can’t
necessarily see that foot cop that’s standing there,” he said. “And it’s
a deterrent. Just like those good citizens see us, those people looking
to commit a crime see us also, and they say, ‘Oh, well, there’s a cop
there, and I can see him. I bet he can see me.‘”

Riding horseback also brings community and police together, Bernfeld
said. The horse serves as an icebreaker between officers and citizens.
People at Bernfeld’s Times Square post flock to snap photos and gush
about his horse.”

Also a horse is generally much easier to manouver in heavy New York traffic than a car, but faster than an officer on foot.

So there ya go. There’s an example of a city horse and why it exists.
