This tickles my funny bone. It either means horses flipped the table or people love horses so much now that they won't make them work as much anymore. Either way, it's interesting.

Haven't cats and dogs done the same?

Cats and dogs have been given royal treatment. But mankind has also given them this...

😬Yikes. Also an ai product\image (sorry) -- double yikes!

I envy the horse. Majestic, playful, industrial, derp. Their one+ ton size has final command.

Sucks I used to have cats and we had strollers for them so we could take them out. (Harnesses didn't work well, they escaped them).

But I am a bit of an equestrian myself. (I just love horses). Lessons are out of financial reach at the moment.

Yep, no one was picking up cat or dog shit for most of our history with them.

I've even seen a human wait for the dog to poop, pull out a little shovel, scoop it into a little plastic bag and then go and put it in a trash can!

Who's the master now? 🐶

It's work horses vs racing horses. How is that even funny?

Maybe they transport the work horses that way when going long distances only to let them out to pull a carriage elsewhere. Who knows?.

could be a work horse in back, too. don't want to tire out the horse before it gets to the job.
