Total lack of withers explains lack of saddle. Back flatter than my coffee table explains lack of rider. Horse is ewe-necked, with a tiny head. Best suited for liberty training, would not recommend for performance work. 6/10 pic.twitter.com/PYtiMUvsth
Horse Girl Autumn is both a writer and an equine enthusiast, so who better to judge the various horse emojis? They are designed to be cute, but that sometimes means that biological accuracy is sacrificed, more so from some services than from others, and completely unintentional.
