Back in the day, there were two kinds of white men in the american South.
The rich rode on horses all day. Their holdings were vast, and they needed to cover a lot of ground in order to keep up with everything. They wore wide brimmed hats to keep the sun out of their eyes.
The poor worked stoop labor. Picking cotton and tobacco meant that the backs of their necks would be exposed to the sun all day. These 'red necks' were little better than the slaves.
If you were on a horse, you were looking down on most other people.

I saw a video of this many years ago on Rotton.com. Apparently the man died from his injuries.

Yep, I haven't heard anyone mention rotten.com in a long time.
Oh, Enumclaw. Yeah that checks out

Apparently Attribution is unclear, but appears to be popular with horse riding people of the past.
