This is weird, no matter which way I think about it – plain weird.
Went on a ride, just coming back, come through a trail to a fire road, by a bridge and I see this….

Not that bad, until I get a bit closer and yes, it is a life-sized plastic horse…..really! With saddles, reigns, tails, head – the whole 9 yards.

No one around, about 4.30pm, about 0.5k to civilisation. Decided it was weird, so got my phone out and took some pics, stood back a bit and there was another one – on the other side of the water, looking “dead” – here it is

I live close to the New Forest, just to add some context - it's very horsey...but I find the 2 most immediate questions I am left with are:-
1. What is happening here?
2. Why has the 2nd plastic horse got testicles, when Action Man doesn’t qualify?
Resue training
They are training in evasive action for when Tesco's 'beef' hunting team turn up.
Shergar?
Horse rescue training, the dummy horse will be weighted to resemble the weight of a real one.
Expect a load of firemen soon.
fire service? You wouldn't want to damage a stallions goods whilst lifting it?
Maybe the riders punctured and blew away ?
hand up if your horse has been stolen.

Maybe, but it was like the Marie Celeste, not a soul around for miles....maybe they were hiding in the undergrowth, or were ninja firemen?
Fire Service animal rescue training. Hampshire FRS train pretty much every brigade in England and many worldwide. Did my course with them, good bunch.
What a nazi Indian!
Training it might be, but doesn't explain the large "sack" on the 2nd horse 😯
Has the Indian got testicles?
Is it just me or does the horse in that second photo look really sexy?
Nope.... Definately you, you're on your own there.
Is it just me or does the horse in that second photo look really sexy?
I think its just you.....
Its the indian who looks sexy. Not so much the nazi salute or elvis presley's trousers, its the playboy bunny ears.
If that horse wore bunny ears I wouldn't be able to control myself.
😀
Horse prostitutes. Training for alfresco assignments. Obvious.
Whorses.
heh heh
do you think they'd been there furlong...?

There was probably a 3 hour health and safety video to sit through before they were allowed anywhere near the plastic horse 😆
Always strikes me as funny that the fire service won't attend a non injured elderly patient who has pressed their careline button for assistance... an almost daily occurrence
Yet they train and train for the rarer possibilities of large animal rescues
Perhaps there is greater media exposure ?
