Homophobia in horses: It's a thing
Horses often get scared by things they aren't familiar with.
They can get scared by a plastic bag in a breeze.
Those police horses weren't trained thoroughly enough.
agreed.... that striping wasn't there before and was unfamiliar to them.
Probably not so much color, as contrast.

Yeah it's funny but it goes back to training. These horses are poorly trained to be police mounts. IMHO
It confuses them
If these mounts were properly trained but clearly they are police mounts and areas of training that should be done are not covered.
