    yes, horses. those powerful animals, who can run really fast, have stamina, powerful muscles.... those animals are vegan! isn't it amazing? we always say that, yes "look at the lion, it is powerfull, it is a meat eater... bla bla".
    just look at the animal kingdom. some of the most amazing animal are vegans! We may not related to them but biology tells that it is physically possible to have a powerfull perfectly healthy body just by living on plants, seeds, nuts, fruits.....

    I guess you're right. And horses are also smart. It is often said that animals wo eat meat, even cats, are smart because they eat meat protein.

    Cows too and I have always thought it was kinda odd that people take nice sweet cows who don't harm anyone and chop them up and eat them. I mean we aren't lions, and we aren't hunting down zebras in the wild.

    Poor Eight Belles. You are in a better place now sweetie, with no one whipping you.

    yeah, horses and cows are sooo helpless.
    Horns, anyone (for cattle)?

    I agree horses are so powerful…
    Whenever a culture got horses they have destroyed all cultures around them that didn’t have horses.

    When the Spanish took horses to Mexico they claimed one worrier on horse back could sometimes kill 1000 foot warriors in one day..
    They claimed that one horse alone could kill 200 to 300 men in one day running them trough and trampling them to death. The Spanish bread special horses that would run right into lines or warriors and start trampling and killing.

    They reported by the end of the day that the horses hooves wouldn’t even touch the ground they would just run on a carpet of dead human bodies all afternoon.

    Some of those horses got lose sometimes and went wild and that is were the packs of wild Mustangs in the west came from. Some of the packs have a fairly pure bloodline back to the Spanish warrior horses.

    yep, no native horses in North America. All ferals.

    hhb, I'm too pressed to look over the videos, but I do have some interesting bumps on some bones. I was always underfoot with the horses, from age three up to my preteen years.

    Hoeses are very much native to North America....the more refined "choice" breeds however are not...mostly Spanish decent and then through fine breeding English and Arabian. Now, I'm talking pre-Ice Age.....for whatever reason (early human hunting, weather, etc) early horses from this land went extinct....and were re-introduced by the people that migrated here (Bering Land Bridge and the Europeans).
