I don't care if it bumps, bites, looks cross-eyed, pouts, knocks it over the inside rail, knocks it over the outside rail, crowds, starts bucking like it's in the National Finals rodeo, dances the hula, sings the national anthem, whatever. If the opposing horse is bothered, the horse doing the bothering should come down.
