I've never heard of this tactic, but I doubt it would do much of
anything. 1500-2000 pounds against a marble? I doubt the marble has a
chance. Now, I _could_ see a horse spooking if something is thrown at
it. But, in my experience, police horses are so well trained that they
hardly spook at anything, and if they do they recover quickly.
