No, my point is, before you start talking about non-horse people not knowing things about horses, you should gripe about the horse people who don't know anything about horses.
ironically most of the most idiotic things ive ever heard being said about an animal, tends to come from somebody who claims to be some form of 'expert' on said animal
We have a bronze sculpture at the antique store where I work that has the horse actually turning his head all the way around looking behind him while somehow still running forward in a straight line.
