I am such a huge horse nerd and I apologize. :( But I’m really tired of seeing girths that are halfway down a horse’s stomach. This may not be interesting to anyone who is not me, but I like to draw fancy saddles and ridiculously long shanks on bits. Also, horses are the only animal I can draw, so I take advantage of that.

I hope this helps some frustrated non-horsey artists in at least some small way. Remember, when in doubt, add some buckles and some rings. :)

I keep seeing these weird ass girths on saddles people draw. It’s a belt, yo. A belt a horse wears at its “waist”, i.e. the narrowest part of its abdomen that is not its crotch area. Horses tend not to like girths near their back legs. Case in point:

That strap in front of their back legs is what makes bucking broncos buck.

@skycowboys This would probably be vital info for fan artists of the SC world xD I recall we had a convo a long time ago about how horse equipment is shown in media and this addresses all those problems!

This is some gooood reference for any artist, WOW

[virgoprivilege]

ok there’s a video going around of someone advising protesters on how to stop a horse should they find themselves up against mounted police but the advice they give is just…literally shit that will get people killed i feel like i have to pick it apart 

[virgoprivilege]

SIGHS OK so this is the video in question.

“i am not a horse trainer, i’ve just been around horses my whole life” SHOULD give you enough warning to not take this person’s advice, like. i don’t give a fuck if that’s gatekeepy to you or whatever but that really sums up why you shouldn’t be listening to their advice in the context of these protests. you cannot make light of the situation, and as an extension, do not settle for who is giving you advice

“push your weight against their chest” what’s missing here is either a lack of understanding of what makes horses so powerful, or a lack of context given depending on what that horse is even doing. a horse moving towards you at any sort of speed is not going to be deterred by you trying to place pressure on it. you’re gonna be mush before that horse even registers you’re even there, particularly with all the stimulation of a crowd and having to listen to its rider through that.

“some horses are trained to ignore their natural instinct” YES. GUESS WHICH HORSES. SPECIFICALLY. ARE TRAINED. TO IGNORE THEIR INSTINCTS? a police horse is not going to listen to you, a person out of hundreds or even thousands surrounding them, because you want to try and lean against their withers or something. not stationary, and definitely not at speed. your own pet horse, or your favourite horse at the stables you ride at, is NOT analogous to a horse conditioned into being used as a weapon. would you look at a police dog and think, “well fluffy back home listens to me when i tug on his collar a bit, surely this police dog will respond the same way and not rip my arm to shit if i do the same thing”? 

if you see this video going around i IMPLORE you to report the shit out of it, this is the kind of video that gets people killed. i wouldn’t try this shit with someone else’s domestic horse, i dread to think what would happen if someone took this advice against one of the behemoths ridden by the cops. it’s ignorant both in terms of horse training and protest, and it’s dangerous to the point where it can get people killed. 

here’s the real advice on how to use your body to stop mounted police: you fucking DON’T
