Pumpkin shaped gourds, yes. Actual pumpkins may eventually become compost in the display, but it can take half a year to make that sort of fruit compote/compost.
Some actual horses startle over the smallest things, like sticks they mistake for snakes. While you can mostly train them, that nothing trigger response usually stays forever. That’s something that makes a horse unsuitable for hippotherapy and jumping.
When the ban took effect in MA, there were 3500 or so fewer deaths in the next year. I wonder what fraction were due to fewer strangulations. We also seem to have reduced the number of bed (sleeping) fires, but have more (planting) bed fires.
