    Okay I call bullshit. I have worked with 1000+ horses and not one of them liked having their head covered. I have trained all my personal horses to take a blindfold. It can be an essential piece of training and can save your horse’s life someday. Just because they are trained to be blindfolded doesn’t mean they want to be blindfolded. Especially in some stupid box thing that covers their whole head. That also diminish smell and hearing their two primary senses.

    What you see here is a very well trained draft horse(probably a Percheron). Pulling horses are much more used to weird shit hanging off them. Also they always get some level of blindfold training, because they wear blinders when they pull.

      I do not train horses but am an animal and have had a few animals as pets. No one likes shit on their head. I’m glad you gave credence from an actual expert on the subject but I could smell the bullshit from this caption a mile away.
