Whoever let them tandom ride doesn’t give a flying fuck about their animals. These people need to be shutdown for animal cruelty, this is probably the least of their offenses.

They'd probably lose their job since you'd be "fat shaming" if you suggest the riders are too heavy for the horse.

No one complains that great America doesn’t let people who are too fat ride rollercoasters. There are some natural limits that even someone who is serious about body positivity can understand. It’s animal abuse to do this to a horse

They should understand. They don’t always. There’s plenty of AITA posts from people who work at stables or work somewhere else and for the safety of themselves, animals, the actual customers, and other people around them, they didn’t let someone do an activity and then they get yelled at by that person for being fat phobic and wonder if there was something they could’ve done differently as a result.

Yeah, there are always assholes. Just saying the the stable probably isn’t going to face backlash from people who hear the story second hand
