I took this shot from my backyard. A local pack outfit was driving mules and horses behind our house (that's our backyard fence in the photo). These days, it seems that the old cowboy days are relics from a long forgotten past, but it's alive and well here in Bishop, California. Snapped this the morning of Father's Day, 2024 (June 16, 2024).
How did the horse feel to get a bit put in their mouth? Did they consent to it?
I suppose you'd have to ask the horse...
