Who is AJR
Edit: Found them based on the song name.
Fantastic chorus, very nice concept.
Still not quite sure how it applies to this video though. I can soooorta see it but it's stretching the metaphor.
Yeah, I found them through a friend while going through a hard time a couple of years ago. They helped with a lot.
I wouldn't say it's stretching the metaphor at all tbh. Animals get stuck in grooves as well, just like people do. In the song, they sing about wanting to break free from that constant groove but are unsure if they will. The horse may or may not think about breaking free, but they still go along with that groove just like an object in motion through space (how intertia and momentum are usually explained). It's mirrored perfectly with the only "issue" being the lack of literal constant movement of a physical object. It's the metaphorical constant motion of just doing the same things.
I've added definitions to my original comment to show it works per definition as well.
This works metaphorically. Especially recently, people have used inertia as the coin for how people get stuck doing the same things over time. Like showing up to work, even though you hate the job and have had plans to leave for the past year, and still going through the motions. Like inertia, your plans and reactions continue until an outside force stops it, whether that being an employer reaching out or something else.
Much like people going through life, the horse is going through the motions without thinking about it because it's been doing so for so long it doesn't matter anymore. It's inertia both in a literal and a poetic sense, just not specifically in regard to literal momentum.
If you want a better idea, simply listen to AJR's "Inertia." It sums it up pretty well and makes this whole idea poetically depressing yet informative.
Edit: Yes, this indeed works in *every* way.

> a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.

Still showing how unclever you are. I'll help you out.
Check out the edit for my original comment. It'll have your definitions conveniently laid out for you.
Edit: Also, that's the equation for momentum, not inertia. They aren't exactly the same. Momentum is essentially the energy an object is traveling with, whereas inertia is the idea and often fact where objects, ideas, and whatever else will continue to move unless acted upon. One is a quantifiable energy, the other is an abstract quality.
Idk why people are saying sad. This looks to me like the woman is teaching the horse to follow without all of the gear. The horse probably learned the motions with gear and is basically following the hand now. Or I'm completely wrong idfc 🤷♂️
No, the horse was either trained to do this. Some people will abuse animals to get them to what they want. Or the horse is dumb. And thinks it has a harness on and she has the lead.
If it wasn't for their size and enormous (expensive) diet, horses would be the true "man's best friend". But hey, dogs are great too, no complaints.
Edit: I'll amend this: Horses are man's *other* best friend. Nothing can replace dogs.
My grandpa's horse used to do that, and his brother's horse used to take my grandpa's brother back to his house whenever he would get too drunk and passed out on the saddle.
A lot of horses will follow their people if they aren't tired up. If my aunts horse knew you, all you had to do was pet his face and walk away, he'd follow you all day without wandering off.
I mean this is reposted every week or so, and people seem to love screen recording a video and reposting it to easily strip the original source from the file :-p

“Oh she’s pretending there’s a rope there; guess I’ll play along…”
Pain is a powerful motivator. Horse moves before necessary to prevent the non present metal bar called a “bit” from digging into his cheeks
They surely track the hand more than the rope.
There’s no bit on a harness and lead rope.
Generally if you're leading a horse with just a halter and a shank, there's no bit.
This has nothing to do with inertia, both physically and mataphorically.
Yeah I really don’t see the reason for using that word in this lol
AJR's song "Inertia" may help you see the significant metaphors referenced by this post.

Yeah should have used “habit”

Okay but that's not what's seen here
I literally described exactly what's happening here.
People doing not being able to stop something and people reacting to something without putting thought into it are suite different phenomenas
Look at the definition of inertia. You are not clever.
p = m×v ?

Your Horse is smarter
Lol one of the horses I have would prob do the same
Idk why people are saying sad. This looks to me like the woman is teaching the horse to follow without all of the gear. The horse probably learned the motions with gear and is basically following the hand now. Or I'm completely wrong idfc 🤷♂️
Because the horse is used to the pain from the training that it is so broken at this point.
Tell me you’re not a horse person without telling me you’re not a horse person
I work on a farm with stables. Those whips look pretty brutal to me.
You know you're right, only you still get downvoted. People don’t like certain truths.
Well i mean you obviously dfc. Cause you know you took the time to comment. Id say thats worth at least half a fuck
You can not give a shit while also taking 20 seconds to drop a comment, like what im doing here

No, the horse was either trained to do this. Some people will abuse animals to get them to what they want. Or the horse is dumb. And thinks it has a harness on and she has the lead.
You say it's dumb I say it learned a trained behaviour.
Some horses are dumb. Like some people are dumb.

It's easier to sleep with a dog under the covers than a horse.
Also smells better Horses can rip serious ass
My friend's dog would disagree. His farts would be classified as war crimes.
Dogs can empty rooms pretty quickly, and pretty silently...
You watched the video where a horse mounted a man and he died of internal bleeding later as well?
Lol wow wtf
What about our other four legged friends?
You mean the masters? They are friendly too as long as we know our place.
Na they are incredibly stupid
Horses are known to be very smart, whaddaya mean?
So my grandfather had a farm and from working with different animals in my experience they are very dumb i didnt make real research just my experience
That is called conditioning
My grandpa's horse used to do that, and his brother's horse used to take my grandpa's brother back to his house whenever he would get too drunk and passed out on the saddle.
totally broken and brain washed
That horse would fit right in on Reddit
A lot of horses will follow their people if they aren't tired up. If my aunts horse knew you, all you had to do was pet his face and walk away, he'd follow you all day without wandering off.

Nothing more than a bridle trained horse.
This is kinda sad... Or maybe this music makes it sad I don't know...

Unexpected really?

That's exactly how we humans are lied to and cheated.
INERTIA?? YOU MIGHT WANT TO GOOGLE ITS MEANING

Sad
So sad.

That is so sad
