it's hilarious how you, as someone who has spent quite some time with horses, can immediately tell whether or not the creators know shit about horses and horsemanship
1. you're never supposed bind a horse by the bridle. if the horse panics, which may happen seeing as they're flight animals, the bit might shatter the horse's teeth.
2. many horses in movies that are described as "beautiful" actually have a pretty poor anatomy.
3. when in fear, horses don't rear. they don't neigh. they don't snort. they run the fuck away, unless there's no option but to kick your fucking way out of danger.
4. HORSES DO NOT NEIGH EVEN REMOTELY AS OFTEN AS THEY DO IN MOVIES. yes, some horses are more vocal than others. some of them nicker or neigh to greet you. neighs are primarily an "i'm here" or "where are you".
5. horse dung doesn't smell nearly as bad as doog poop since a horse's diet is exclusively plants. really. mucking out a stable won't make you puke or pinch your nose.
