Horses were at least marginally less ridiculous before people got involved. Not quite to the same extent as dogs, but compare a steppe horse with a thoroughbred and you'll see that they're smaller and hardier. Much better equipped to live, slightly less able to carry fully armored people on their back.

I always thought the fact that turning our heads too fast can give us strokes was rather inconvenient.
Or that sneesing / trying to hold back a sneeze can give you an aneurism. But I guess although it's rare in animals it's not exclusive to humans.
Rupture an existing one, right?
Yikes. That’s why I get a little worried about the high velocity neck stuff that some chiropractors do.
Horses not breathing while running opened a whole new world of anxiety for me.
What?!
imagine having a stuffy nose and you can't breathe with your mouth.
wait yeah no we wouldnt be able to play like, any wind instruments, traditionally at least.
As much as I'd advocate for a professional rectal woodwind orchestra, I can't help but feel we wouldn't have invented the instruments in the first place.
if we did it would be nasal based, probably, and they would suck a lot more to play as well.
Dolphins probably lament not being able to make milk come out of their buddy's nose by making them laugh while drinking.
