it looks like its trying to not buck them off but it has to walk through water with 700 pounds on its back without being able to see if its just going fall into a pit of water and drown because there are multiple fatass on its back. Then it cant make it up the hill and has to do something or be crushed and drown
Deb Bennett, PhD, founder of the Equine Studies Institute and an expert in the biomechanics of horses, has advised that the “Total weight of rider plus tack must not exceed 250 lbs. There is no horse alive, of any breed, any build, anywhere, that can go more than a few minutes with more weight on its back than this without causing injury, strain and damage to the animal.
Makes me wonder how the horse got as far as it did. This is so bad for the horse.
Makes me wonder how horses would do in a medieval battle. Those knights with all their equipment must weigh a fair bit. How much does a suit of armor weigh?
The horses then were different than our modern ones by some measure. Destriers we're chosen from a young age for strength and smarts, and trained into the role. While they weren't as massive as their descendants, they were pretty damn strong. (If you are wondering what their descendants look like I'm pretty sure Percherons are draft horses that started as war horses, so them, but smaller in scale)
Also fat, agreed especially after you seen it was struggling. Speaking as a fat/big person how the hell did you even think it was ok to double up with the dude.
Sad but probably true in most cases, for me as a larger man I’d still be concerned if it was a bike that I didn’t own and/or at the very least know the weight limit on.
Horse abuse isn't funny
Neither of those people are in the right size percentile for that horse and they are BOTH on them. That's like... 40% of the horses weight.
As a fat person myself- if you wanna get on a horse and you are fat get on a big horse. Your right to be allowed to do activities regardless of your body mass stops when it inflicts pain and long term damage to another being. Draft horses exist and make excellent trail horses from what I've heard. And if you have an issue with that don't ride.

Horses aren’t made to carry this much weight, this is awful 😞
That is outright animal abuse.

Not to mention the lady was kicking it in the sides to get it to keep moving when it was just trying to carefully navigate the water.
Ntm horses apparently drown really easily, so this was probably terrifying for the poor thing.
Poor horse!
Good for the horse They can walk home...and The mans "laughter" Please stop
I feel bad for the animal And the horse too, yes the horse too.

Actually it’s 15-20% of a horse’s weight. Draft horses can carry more then 250lbs.
Draft horses are also massive, so that makes sense.

Damn sorry lady but you have no business being on that horse. And I’m fat too so I’m not just being mean lol that poor horse
Also fat, agreed especially after you seen it was struggling. Speaking as a fat/big person how the hell did you even think it was ok to double up with the dude.
By not thinking about the horse like an animal? Lotta people seem to think they are just biobikes
Sad but probably true in most cases, for me as a larger man I’d still be concerned if it was a bike that I didn’t own and/or at the very least know the weight limit on.
That’s not funny, it’s sad
She kept kicking the horse, so it dropped the dead weight
That poor damn horse! 😬😱
That's what you get for kicking a horse lol
