Police and Horses - Again!

If you are working with horses (as opposed to keeping one as some kind of cuddly pet) you soon realise that the only place to be is at the head of the herd, especially at times of crisis. Therefore you will do whatever needs to be done to ensure that the horse remembers who is in charge - sometimes it doesn't look pretty, it may be very firm, that doesn't make it wrong or cruel.

If more 'snooty' letters were written, then more of these thugs with badges would be behind bars. Or at the very least looking for employment elsewhere.

Really? I mean, REALLY?!

I wasn't there sat on that horse in a riot situation. Neither were you. It's easy to sit and pass judgement from our armchairs.
Not looking at your other links as I'm not a big fan of comparing apples with oranges, which is what a lot of posters tend to try and do on here, when people don't agree with them.

By the way, Watcher, thanks for getting me hooked on the Inspector Gadget blog :p try popping on there, Over2You, and see how long you last...
 
Good old Inspector Gadget, a highly addictive blog. It's the only blog I comment on with any kind of regularity!

Having been on a very small cob that leapt the entire width of a road, from a walk, sideways, in one, I would say a big fit police horse could cover a few metres very quickly indeed... Not an ideal solution, but no lasting harm done, and possibly far more serious harm averted. IMO at least.
