Dealing with police horses

Barry | 06.05.2009 10:23

There has been some criticism of people throwing things at police horses on the recent Smash Edo-ITT demo in Brighton. There is an alternative.

A tried and tested technique for halting a stampede of police horses is to cover the line of advancing horses from either side with a long visible rope held at horse shoulder height. This is likely to unseat the mounted polices as the horses are brought to a halt.

It was apparently very popular in the late middle ages!
