Scott and myself saw it right away, we were hoping the Hanoverians would know the difference. Apparently not, but in their defense I guess horse farts and mule farts smell the same

 We Prussians feed our horses just a little better then the Hanovarian's do. A tad more iron in there diets. |

Hey, at least I got a "War Horse" and not the "Peeing Pony", despite the fact that all three images were mules.    Nice equine proctology image, David, I would not have thought to look for that one. Actually, I would never have imagined that something like that existed, but I guess you really can find anything on the internet.   My favorite horses of all are Walt's Leopard 2A5's though. Very nice! I always thought the Leopard series were attractive tanks. INHO, the turret configuration on the Leopard 1 was prettier, but if I had to ride one into battle, Chobham armor is definitely the better way to go.

As close as folks like us will ever get http://www.steelbeasts.com/ Steelbeasts pro PE . Pricey with a heck of a learning curve I admit but worth every penny. As to the proctology pick ... Have had to do that a time or two when I still had my Belgians,way less then fun even with the uber-sized rubber gloves. |

Wow, now those are some big horses! I am well familiar with the gloves, but only used them for assisting births when necessary. We had Quarterhorses and Haflingers. We also had a Shetland Pony that was fantastic with kids. Yeah, I know they have a reputation, but 'Rusty' was the friendliest little pony I have ever seen. We only have one Quarterhorse left. He is the one that I patterned my writing on when talking about my officer's mount in the club. He is a huge Quarterhorse, standing at 17.2 hands. My wife, helped birth him 23 years ago and I will take care of him until it is his, or my, time to go. |

Well I would say the Hanoverians have the right idea. After all it is better to ride an ass then be ruled by one from Corsica!
