>>>> If you really want to cringe, watch some of the Western movies (especially the old ones) and watch how they pull on the reins with those long shanks and the horses are gaping their mouths open trying to get away from the pain. I just about can't watch those movies anymore because of it
Yeah, and those rearing, prancy horses no longer just look "spirited" like I thought when I was a kid. It's pretty amazing what people have historically written off to spiritedness (whatever word you apply) that now looks like discomfort, bad horsemanship, or even pain or fear.
