From now on you'll be riding a horse

Look how this dude has his hand on his hip like, "I'm on a fucking horse and I'll catch you." and the horse is like, "Yeah I'm a horse."

Recently I’ve seen a shocking number of one thing: cops on horses. Is it because of the high terror alert? Probably. After the Times Square non-bomb bomb they were like, “It’s code very deep red with a hint of orange and if we don’t get some horses in here—maybe even some ponies?—then we are fucked.”

(Speaking of ponies, that scene at the end of Robin Hood when all those weird boys who wear corn masks or whatever are riding ponies was not convincing. It looked neither safe nor effective against big or average horses).

I saw a cop on a horse riding down 6^th avenue amidst the traffic. She wasn’t even trotting. I wonder, in case of an emergency, if the horse gallops. Can you imagine that in a police report? “Lt. Antonia Clark fucking galloped down 6^th avenue and caught the criminal. Then she stood on the saddle and did an arabesque like the woman in The Ringling Brothers Circus but not The Big Apple Circus because they are smaller and poor.”

I was also wondering if being a rider was a promotion or not. Like is it a “Congratulations you did it” or, “From now on you’ll be riding a horse.”
