"Always bow when meeting acquaintances on the street. A curtsy is not consistent with graceful locomotion." ~ Etiquette for Women - 1882
They had such a way with words. Unlike this fellow 100 years later.

Don't hook your horse like this!
This is not fair to the horse or to the people involved.
All participants are SO fortunate not to have gotten injured in this episode.
Unfortunately, it is scenarios like this that make business for trainers.
It is so unnecessary to go about it this way.
I can hardly count all the things that are unsafe and just plain wrong with this.
I do NOT want to get the call to fix this horse!
