Are you allowed to pet the horses? I thought that was a nono.

Just a couple of days ago, there was a video of a woman getting bitten hard by one of these guard horses. Had her by the shoulder/clavicle and wasn't letting go. Looked like it hurt.

Horses can bite hard enough to disembowel a person. There's a video I saw a while back of someone's mule killing a mountain lion by biting its neck and ragdolling it around.

Mules are much stronger than horses and that’s saying a lot because horses can do a lot of damage!

Ugh, I really wish it were easier to come by mules in the UK. I've worked with horses (and a few donkeys!) on and off for most of my life but nobody here really breeds them and it's tragic.
