The 'horse hogs' and 'horse whisperers' are the worst. The horse had enough of her petting it/annoying it at that point, but that didn't matter to her, because it's about her, not the horse!
I guess she needed a therapy session. It's ridiculous to stand there and irritate the animal and walk off with a look of disappointment because it got sick of you.
hy are they allowed to touch the horse? They aren't allowed to touch the Guards. Imagine how disrespectful to touch someone without permission, especially someone in uniform. The horse is in uniform and serving the King, as well.
They are moving all the time. Looking up and down the street, managing their horses, trying to anticipareanything that spooks it. Their legs are on the horse, except when stretching a leg every now and then, ready to react at a split second’s notice.
