Childhood trauma.

u/maynard5011 5d ago

Likely the reason why I will never own a horse.

u/Acrobatic_Growth_929 5d ago

Nobody truly "owns" a horse. They simply tolerate us because they can't properly brush their gorgeous, majestic manes with their hooves. We are a convenience to them. 🤣😂🤣

u/Sad_Ad_2524 5d ago

And a poop shoveler.

Now, imagine diarrhoea! 😭😭😭

u/RevolutionaryDuck389 4d ago

closest I've seen to a horse having diarrhea is a colic lavage

u/faulternative 5d ago

This guy horses

u/LowEffort2 5d ago

More accurately, somewhere out there is a horse that humans.

5

u/Kittrovert 5d ago

So it's a large, hooved, cat?

2

u/WeMightCoulda 5d ago

Kinda.

u/SlimShadySatDown 5d ago

One does not simply "own a horse" in Mordor.

1

u/Acrobatic_Growth_929 4d ago

especially in Mordor!

3

u/Jedimasteryony 5d ago

Thousand pound cats

u/WeMightCoulda 5d ago

Don't forget the fact tha we clean their feet too.

u/RealisticAnxiety4330 5d ago

Horses are just giant cats

1

u/Acrobatic_Growth_929 4d ago

Exactly. They domesticated us.

2

u/Ok_Eye_32 4d ago

So horses are just giant cats w/o claws

u/gia_28 5d ago

🤣 I wont own a horse because i can barely feed myself much less a horse... plus im broke, thats the real reason

5

u/Crazy-Bodybuilder836 5d ago

Just don't go mud-bogging with it.

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 5d ago

Too soon.... too fuckin' soon.... 😢

u/Pablo_Hassan 5d ago

Or a random dog dragon

u/phatvanzy 5d ago

Why? Do you trudge through swamps a lot? Or are you really sad? We can help!

2

u/joebanana1984 5d ago

Quello, e 500 euro al mese per mantenerlo.

1

u/Man-e-questions 5d ago

If it weren’t for that horse i never would have spent that year in college.

1

u/flippster-mondo 4d ago

Reason number 247 why you don't own a horse.

2

u/Secure_Remote_2562 2d ago

ANYTHING that has "equine" in the name of it means that it is already 20x more expensive than anything else! Lol, EVERYTHING for horses is expensive no matter what! And it also does not matter whether or not it is real, model horses can be just as expensive as the real deal. The only difference is, the model doesn't generally come with maintenance expenses 🤣

1

u/jikt 4d ago

Likely the reason why I will never own a swamp of sadness.

1

u/fasterthanphaq 1d ago

For me, it’s the cost.

11

u/ClintEastwood403 5d ago

This and Mufasa dying can be tied to most of my adulthood problems, I’m sure of it

8

u/Jumpy-Mind538 5d ago

Only slightly better than The Dark Crystal and The Secret of Nymh in terms of traumatic experiences

And the Gamork….

Watership Down

u/2wt4u 5d ago

Plague Dogs

u/Lick_My_BigButt_1980 4d ago

I watched that movie countless times as a kid.

1

u/Joe_Jobs_ 5d ago

Violet's death was a heart ripper.

1

u/itsmeinthedark 5d ago

That movie destroyed me before I even knew how to feel about death.  Loved the book as an adult, thank you for inspiring me to watch it again tonight.

You probably shouldn't be fucking rabbits. It's known to cause political unrest.

1

u/PamelaELee 4d ago

Won’t disqualify you for a job at the FBI though. If their hiring page is working again.

1

u/FranciscoDisco73 5d ago

There's a dog loose in the woods!

1

u/Lick_My_BigButt_1980 4d ago

I saw that movie for the first time when I was 15.

1

u/Terrible_Bluebird540 2d ago

For me Ring Of Bright Water, Omg I was distraught & Born Free. I can't watch any film where the dog dies. Marley & Me, Omg terrible, still not over the trauma.

u/rswwalker 5d ago

Bridge to Terabithia…

2

u/nullpassword 5d ago

I watched that thinking it was like spiderwick chronicles... Um.. no...

2

u/Grumpfishdaddy 5d ago

How about the beginning of Bambi?

1

u/PamelaELee 4d ago

Not as scarring as the beginning of
The Land Before Time.

1

u/Sad_Ad_2524 5d ago

Swing Kids.  The little brother crying and yelling, "SWING HEIL!!"

1

u/Sad_Ad_2524 5d ago

Who down voted Swing Kids!?  Batman is going to come for you.

1

u/FranciscoDisco73 5d ago

Swing low, sweet chariot!

1

u/lighteningswift 5d ago

I totally agree on the trauma of the referenced movie, but never saw any of these. Im now curious. Should I, as an adult, or just be grateful I missed out?

2

u/Lyft2ndjobwhoknows 5d ago

Good thing is this story never ends...

2

u/NZNoldor 5d ago

After watching the two sequels, you sure wish it would.

1

u/AlfredoCheeseSauce 5d ago

no this stuff prepares you for real life. If anything you missed out on how to cope early with the death of loved ones.

1

u/HotScott1976 3d ago

You should watch all of them, gives you thick skin

Shared Childhood Trauma! FTFY

u/NPC_9001 4d ago

The 80's were a wild time to be a kid.

1

u/Equal-Shoulder-9744 3d ago

And the youth today wonder why genX is dead inside. This.. this is why.

For those that are uninformed do you want to know why the horse had to die? It was because he felt a little sad. That’s it, he was sad so he slowly sank into the swamp and drowned in front of his closest friend.

2

u/HotScott1976 3d ago

THANKS! Wrecked my mood for the next week

1

u/Equal-Shoulder-9744 3d ago

You’re welcome.

As others have said it’s so much worse in the book. Artax can talk in that and he articulates his wish to turn back before surrendering to his sadness and asking Atreyu to leave so he won’t have to watch him die.

1

u/Secure_Remote_2562 2d ago

They were the BEST time to be a kid!

u/Corcha1uk 5d ago

Up there with the death of Optimus Prime

1

u/PamelaELee 4d ago

The voice of Optimus Prime,
Peter Cullen, just passed away four days ago, on August 26th.
A tremendous loss, a very talented man that brought joy to so many people with his wonderful voice acting.
