I'm not a horse person, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that using horses for crowd control on ice and snow is probably a "Bad Idea".
Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Ice is tricky, but horses will be shod with caulks AND are accustomed to working under those conditions. Snow is actually rather easy for horses.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
I have questions...
Why does "Captain Canada" have an American Flag icon on his little name thingy? Did he maybe forget which set of rubes he was playing to?
I am also not a horse person per se, but I grew up in Kentucky and unless you're from downtown Louisville (I ain't) that pretty much means you did grow up around a few horses. I was taught (maybe incorrectly I admit) that a horse normally will not step on a person and that they had uncanny ability to avoid doing so. No, they don't really care about you but they are aware of their somewhat fragile ankles.
As such, the "they totally just trampled that lady!" would appear to me to be not unlike the basketball player who feels the breeze of a passing body part under a basket and falls 12 feet across the floor from it, to make sure everyone knows they was "fouled so bad, they'd have even called it in rugby".
Finally, my momma told me once that you can't get in trouble for stuff you did out on the town when you're at home where you're supposed to be.
ETA: The Captain Canada guy seems to be a parody of sorts, he has another video where he interviews people with a Tim Horton's coffee cup, and the question is "don't they even see what is right in front of us". Looks like he gets the jokes on Letterkenny to me.

To answer the question those horses have wide hooves for that kind of thing, and have 4 legs. Those horses are fine. The humans are far more likely to slip and fall, as can be seen when those idiots slipped and fell, and the horses dodged around and over them.

WE WILL NOT COMPLY!
Another truck just left, heading out of town down Elgin towards the highway.
He had a “We will not comply” on his truck but he seemed to comply when the cops asked people to leave #cdnpoli #ottnews

It's OK to run over BLM protesters blocking streets, eh Republicans? For jamming up a few blocks, for a couple days?
So, what should we allow to be done to white assholes illegally blocking roads for weeks, at multiple points, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in economic damage?
There aren't enough buses in the world to throw y'all under.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Posting this here because it's an important 5-minute message from HRH Queen Romana about Ottawa and the Protesters:
Protesters, stop "showboating" and using Ottawa for "Raves". Go home and no more honking! Her Majesty lifted all COVID restrictions on February 3rd so there's no reason to be there. Trudeau and other officials are gone and people are just seeing CGI and actors. The police force is enforcing what she asked them to do because Ottawa people deserve peace. The police distributed flyers the day before warning people to go home and those that have remained are being arrested. HRH is expunging the criminal records of those who were in Ottawa until February 3rd. Anyone in Ottawa after February 3rd who may have criminal records Her Majesty will not expunge because they have violated the laws thereafter.
Her Majesty's subjects on Telegram are struggling.

That other one person in a red jacket, was she(he?) driving a mobility scooter of kind? What is that down on the ground next to her? Stupidto be in the front lines with such a device, no way to be able to move fast enough when the front row moves. Could have been pushed over on that unstable machinery even without gettinginto the way of horses.
ps. who is complaining here, ever seen American police officers on horses in action?

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Yeah, as far as I have ever noticed, even a spooked horse REALLY does not want to trample someone and will either jump or change direction. When horses were used in warfare they had to be specially trained to actually trample people since it goes against what they want to do.Gregg wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 7:42 pm I am also not a horse person per se, but I grew up in Kentucky and unless you're from downtown Louisville (I ain't) that pretty much means you did grow up around a few horses.

At most, well trained urban police horse is far more likely to simply be a little freaked that someone fell near its legs.
Now, if they had claimed that the horses kicked someone, that I could believe, since even the best trained horse can be startled into thwomping some idiot who came up behind it.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Horses will run THROUGH you if you are in their way, AND they are spooked AND they determine you are not as dangerous as whatever has spooked them. But if you are on the ground, they will jump over you rather than trampling you. One of my friends got her arm broken by her mare barreling through her because her mare didn't see my friend as herd leader.neeneko wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 10:59 amYeah, as far as I have ever noticed, even a spooked horse REALLY does not want to trample someone and will either jump or change direction.

One of my FB friends was a member of the Seattle Mounted Patrol (sadly disbanded last year), and I have another friend who supplied SMP with one of the mounted patrol horses (Chance, known as Cougar when owned by my friend, and yes, he was returned to her when the unit disbanded). My friend who was in the SMP rode Chance/Cougar.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 7:38 am

Yes, that was a mobility scooter, and bicycles and scooters are dangerous because horses can get their feet trapped in them. It doesn't take much to cut a tendon, so the horses are trained to not move if they feel their feet are hobbled.
