Horse play

Danae is just upset that somebody else came up with a better tall tale than hers.

Zinnnggggg …

I wish we were all nice like Horses!

Also, I like their version better.

Kind of reminds me a bit of that part of Gulliver’s Travels.

Yeah. Revisionist history. There’s going to be a lot more of that coming real soon.

That is rich from Danae and her comment on Revisionist history, considering how much of it already has been to make groups of people feel better about themselves.

ALL history is revisionist. Even when it’s movies or photographs, the one pointing the camera is choosing what to tell… and how to tell it.

Revisionist history is a boilerplate principle for Fox.

That’s all unbridled nonsense!

Horses originated in North America and went extinct there. Later the colonizers brought horses with them. Many of those horses escaped and roamed free.

Equine step-up on humans: Horses are so herd/community-conscious that in the wild a one would never put itself out of eyesight of another.

Even when corralled, one would keep itself awake while others slept.

The Native Americans didn’t have horses. The only horses were those that came from Europe. The Native Americans in the Southwest might’ve gotten some from the Spanish, but there weren’t any already in New England.

Road apples
