"warning, these eldritch abominations are also rich assholes"

I mean, more dangerous than normal horses?

Not more dangerous necessarily that they tend to be what are called warm blooded which translates as easily spooked. Thoroughbreds are notoriously that type.

Actually small correction, thoroughbreds are considered hot blooded. And notoriously quirky. See also: everyone's favorite, Gold Ship.

I can’t get over his nephew kicking off his jockey, running a disqualified second place to the cheers of the crowd, trying to showboat by jumping a fence, eating shit, getting embarrassed by his fuck up so he pretended to be dead so he could sulk and eat grass. youtu.be/fvib96CBqyU?...

According to the comments he only looked up on the ground when one of the people who worked in the stable yelled "Sylvie!" while running towards him and I can just see the "What?" expression.

It is possibly the funniest series of events ever in horse racing.

The funniest part is everyone finding out who his family is and going "Yeah that tracks."

The whole family is nuts. youtu.be/GeZdD3jdrHQ?...

they carry the mallets in their mouths

We had a pony who figured out how to unbolt his stall using just his lips so honestly it wouldn't shock me if they could.

2 possible things "Caution. These are not work horses and spook easily" or "Caution. These horses are your betters"

Yeah what I meant to say is “are these horses somehow more dangerous than normal horses?”

My thoughts are they are by context that if they get spooked they will probably panic and thrash about a lot more than if it was a farm horse, causing worse trampling

Polio Horses

They have weapons

Probably similar to why people have "baby on board" stickers. They also tend to be smaller which in horse terms means "smart little shit."
