Not really, the point is that you and other people mentioned that the reason a man can't marry a horse is because a horse can't consent. But requiring that a horse consent to marriage is ridiculous when you contrast it against the myriad of other things we do to horses without their consent that tend to be more horrible than marrying a horse (but lets be real, the real issue is fucking a horse). Have you ever ridden a horse before? Did it consent to you riding it?
I've never ride or killed a horse, no.

Marriage isn't something you do to someone. You do it with someone.

Oh. I wasn't aware we weren't talking about the culture we're all familiar with. What culture are you arguing in the context of?
Because it used to be part of English Culture for women to marry trees to divorce their husbands. In that context, a hose isn't so strange.

It has to do with consent. A horse cannot consent. Two adults can consent.

Marriage isn't something you do to someone. You do it with someone.

In the case of the man with his horse lover in that Springer clip he wanted the same type of relationship with his horse that he wanted with his previous wife. For him it's not just about fucking a horse, he wants a relationship with his horse.

Because a horse can't say "Yay", only "neigh".
