Horseback riding club rolls into Houston protests to stand in solidarity with protesters

June 2, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris



Horses are raising a hoof to support Black Lives Matter protesters in Houston, Texas Tuesday.

After several nights of protests, an urban trail riding club, Nonstop Riders, joined the efforts

“We’re here representing for all our black brothers and sisters,” said Marcus Johnson, sitting atop his horse.



As the riders fists stretched toward the blue Texas sky, the protest crowd broke into cheers and applause.

Perhaps he changes position once the horse is moving? ZZenith Jun 2020 #3

Meaning his foot is too far into the stirrup. If he falls off he's going to be in trouble.
