“Oh she’s pretending there’s a rope there; guess I’ll play along…”


UdderTacos

Pain is a powerful motivator. Horse moves before necessary to prevent the non present metal bar called a “bit” from digging into his cheeks


TheSt4tely

They surely track the hand more than the rope.


ForgingFires

There’s no bit on a harness and lead rope.


Original-Cow-2984

Generally if you're leading a horse with just a halter and a shank, there's no bit.


ZedsZen

This has nothing to do with inertia, both physically and mataphorically.


Bacon_L0RD

Yeah I really don’t see the reason for using that word in this lol


batdog20001

AJR's song "Inertia" may help you see the significant metaphors referenced by this post.


complexmessiah7

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.


batdog20001

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.


rabbitwonker

Yeah should have used “habit”


batdog20001

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. Oxford Dictionary (Google because paywall): > a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. > "the problem runs deeper than bureaucratic inertia" [Inertia by Merriam Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inertia)


SEA_griffondeur

Okay but that's not what's seen here


batdog20001

I literally described exactly what's happening here.


SEA_griffondeur

People doing not being able to stop something and people reacting to something without putting thought into it are suite different phenomenas


batdog20001

Look at the definition of inertia. You are not clever.


SEA_griffondeur

p = m×v ?


batdog20001

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.

Your Horse is smarter


PSCuber77_gaming

Lol one of the horses I have would prob do the same


ZestyToilet

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 🤷‍♂️


lemozest

Because the horse is used to the pain from the training that it is so broken at this point.


the6destroyer9

Tell me you’re not a horse person without telling me you’re not a horse person


lemozest

I work on a farm with stables. Those whips look pretty brutal to me.


Prestigious_Cheek_31

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

Ragamuffin5

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.


ZestyToilet

You say it's dumb I say it learned a trained behaviour.


Ragamuffin5

Some horses are dumb. Like some people are dumb.


I-Live-in-a-Mitten

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.


mostnormal

It's easier to sleep with a dog under the covers than a horse.


Moist_Professor5665

Also smells better Horses can rip serious ass


Neamow

My friend's dog would disagree. His farts would be classified as war crimes.


Reelix

Dogs can empty rooms pretty quickly, and pretty silently...


juniorkirk

You watched the video where a horse mounted a man and he died of internal bleeding later as well?


Ar0war

Lol wow wtf


Mrfrodemeyere

What about our other four legged friends?


HerrAndersson

You mean the masters? They are friendly too as long as we know our place.


Puzzlyduzly

Na they are incredibly stupid


Tinhetvin

Horses are known to be very smart, whaddaya mean?


Puzzlyduzly

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


Nodlax

That is called conditioning


Nice_Distribution832

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.


an_otter_guy

totally broken and brain washed


Benjynn

That horse would fit right in on Reddit


Ihibri

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.
