> Kids that grow up around horses tend not to have trouble with bullies.

adding this to my list of thing to look into if I ever have a daiughter.




I wouldn’t bother. It’s rose tinted specs at work. Girls on the horse yard bully each other just like they do in every other arena. Source: I had a horse when I was a teenager.


The OP was painting an incomplete picture, the complete horse based solution to bullying involves plate mail and polearms.


I’m afraid this is also a case of ochre-tinted helm — girls will bully each other even if their liege lord fully equips them.


So they can push the kid over and it ends up stuck lying on its back like a turtle?


Really? It seems obviously complete nonsense to me.
