I'm curious about the ways of stopping a horse
- jaffa2 17d agoGun, possibly?
- orbital-decay 17d agoMounting, wedging, steering uphill, forcing the head into a turn, etc. Tripping and especially firearms were used as a last resort, there's plenty of ways to do that without permanently injuring or killing the horse.

- jaffa2 16d agoSorry yes. I see what was meant now.
- embedding-shape 17d agoHorses are very easy to trip if you can get close enough, at least close enough to be able to throw something if nothing else. Lassos help also and is a bit less violent.
