Hello graalian, 2006 player here

I find it a bit difficult to believe that kind of omnibus would have been used in the 1600's!

@@retroguy9494 i believe the 1600's is when these were first used before it became more of a use in the 1700's before the world became a western period in 1800's with horseback being used aswell as buggies and then it became a modern horse period throughout the early 1900's before becoming a modern period with proper usage of cars and trucks throughout most of the 20th century and leading into the 21st which leads us to today!! (the early 1900's was similar to the 1700's but the only difference was the fashion and the way people behaved and did things) people used swords and knives alot in the 1700's to protect themselves from wild animals just incase their buggy broke down whilst traveling long distances!! and early 1900's was the complete opposite except with smart dresses and suits etc...

@@SA786.comChannel Well, certainly horse and carts were used in the 1600's. But they were more the palanquins, trolleys, etc. I believe the coach did not come into play until the 1700's. I really don't think they had the fancy type of omnibus shown here back then. Most of them sat only one or two people.

@@retroguy9494 oh, in that case i think you might be right there xD

Year 1786

Mackinac Island, Michigan! No cars allowed. Pretty neat.

That's what pulling is-

@@Helvetica.16 Beg to differ. If a horse grabs something in its teeth it can "pull" the object towards it. However, a horse "pushes" into a collar which has the effect of drawing the vehicle behind it. Any good harness book, coachperson, even physicist could explain better, but the concept is not at all complex.

@@payntpot7623 That's not how that works? Horses pull things with their bodies, and push too. But they aren't pushing a cart when they are attached to a harness they are technically pulling it? The object is set behind them, and only moves when they move forwards. Aka 'pulling'. Id assume. Only ever heard it called pulling.

@@Helvetica.16 As I said initially, technically they push the collar/breast collar, which in turn draws the vehicle. Check out any book or listen to any expert driver and they will confirm. Just because you have only ever heard it called pulling; does not mean it is correct. It is always good to learn new things in this life. It stops us from getting complacent and letting the grass grow under our feet!

The horses aren’t blindfolded, the “blinders” are so they don’t spook at any distractions on either side of them and to keep them focused on what’s ahead of them. The horses can still see forwards, it’s just like if you put you hands on either side of your head

This is not abuse. They actually like doing work.

@Saira Khanom they’d rather do work than sit in fields everyday. Of course, forcing them to work in extreme weather is abuse. But besides that, horses love doing work and it’s been like that for thousands of years since we started working with horses.

The horses are not lazy like you

This is not horse abuse! If you want to watch horse abuse, watch horse races.
