I always wondered why back then the warriors stuck with horses and not some other big animal that could just flip on you mid fight. horses don’t really do that. they stay with you, they read the situation, they don’t panic and dump you for no reason.
watching them move around humans like this makes it obvious they’re actually thinking. small adjustments, watching you, figuring out what you want without you spelling it out. I paused it twice because one of them clearly understood the person was about to do something and just waited.
my brain kept going “yeah that’s why.” random but I almost went and looked up old war horse stuff after this. anyway I’m still watching the same part over and over.
