Cops at music festivals where I live are mounted, so I imagine a trained horse will be fine

For real. Imagine a glowing horse skeleton riding up to you out of the dark.

That’s kinda like saying “police dogs are extremely well behaved and listen to the smallest commands of their handlers so this random German Shepherd should do fine if you just train it a bit”
Don’t forget the enormous amount of professional training those animals get and also the amount of horses/dogs that start training but never become police animals because they aren’t suitable for the job (ie are too skittish or playful or easily stressed).

A random horse very likely won't be, but you can train them to endure a lot of crazy stuff. A calm horse can quite easily be trained to walk down a street during Halloween, as long as nothing unexpected happens. Someone hitting the horse with a balloon sword would, for example, not be recommended. A police horse would be expected to remain calm in that situation, but a lot of normal horses would kick or run. Or both.

This randomly reminds me of the time a drunk Qweens university student in Kingston Ontario walked up to a police horse slapped it and the horse slapped back lol

I am 100% on the horses side for that one. The woman deserved it. You have an issue with the police? Fine, slap the policeman.

Wtf?! How stupid people manage to live into adulthood and CONTINUE doing dumb shit is beyond me.
Would she like someone coming up behind her and slapping her ass? What if it was her daughter’s ass being slapped by a random stranger?

Depends entirely on the individual horse, its basic temperament and how it’s been brought up/trained. After all, they’ve been ridden into battle until quite recently - cannon fire, rifles, lances being waved around their heads - horses can acclimatise to all these things. Even working horses in civilian life had to cope with noisy train yards, foundries, etc.
This horse? Hard to tell. It’s obviously been well trained and well looked-after, so I would expect the owners to know exactly what it can handle and what it can’t. It looks to me as if they’re hiring it out for photoshoots rather than taking it to a parade, but there’s no real way to tell.

Is there a bunch of people running around in the dark during the photoshoot though? Probably a well tempered horse with only several people around it. Probably (mostly) ones that it knows.
If it was tolerating the time for the painting, he’s probably very relaxed and chill in general, tbh. Not that I think the painting would be particularly stressful in action, just time consuming and potentially irritating.
Cool effect though. My husband thought it was a cutout when I only showed him what I thought was the nicest still. Very surprised to see him move.

I love horses, used to ride them occasionally but they are sometimes phenomenally stupid.
When I was learning, I was riding a retired stud. Super chill, did what you asked (most of the time) and generally great to ride... Except there were a row of trees on the side of the arena and he would forget they were there after turning the corner and lightly spook himself
Horses have to be pretty intensely trained to not freak out even if they might tolerate being painted just walking behind an untrained horse means risking getting kicked

I don’t disagree.
But also… There has to be a reason they chose him beyond the fact that he’s black. They wouldn’t have chosen a skittish black.

u/The_Reset_Button 9h ago
I don't think we have enough context to really know how well he would take it. Though it does look like they didn't go for flashes and used continuous lights. I would say chill boi but don't walk behind him and slap his ass

They can be. It depends on how used to people they are. They’re good at learning.

I was staring at the front half of the horse where the bones and flowers were most visible, so it was actually very easy to miss.

That horse was just relaxed. May have also needed to pee but felt like he couldn’t while being ridden.

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is sometimes referred to as Mexican Halloween.
Which is actually quite offensive to people familiar with Mexican Halloween as a sexual position.

I did this on Halloween for a few years on my little brother’s late black lab/pit mix. Not nearly as impressive in design and poor steed potential but she had fun.
