    Not even close. Mites are animals. Between your ass hair, clothing, and the square inch of horse fur, each time you fart on a horse you fart on half a million mites. And everyone who doesn’t ride horses, 99.999 percent of the population, farts on mites every time they flatulate.

      Yes, but different mites. Their lifespan is too short. Horses however have to endure years of farting.

        As the owner of several horses, I will attest to the fact that they fart on us WAY more than we fart on them.

          This is correct, they like to shit when you’re near the back end as well, nervous poops. Also this lady is clearly scared shitless on this horse, poor bastards face is being pulled on so much his damn chin is touching his neck.

              Looks like she is holding them all crunched up and leaning forwards on the horse. There is no saddle so there isn’t a way to tighten the reins without her holding them.

                It doesn’t look like she’s holding them crunched up to me, her hand is open and flat and there’s no dark pixels under it to show the rein there, it looks like it’s just a tight harness, possibly designed to get the horse’s head to pose this way. I mean I could be wrong of course, that’s just how it looks to me.
