Long Horses Hardy Burmeier has extensively documented the now extinct long horses, capable of carrying up to four men on their backs and of spectacular acrobatic feats.
This is my first post. Please be kind, my fellow monkeys!
Welcome!
Some folks are going to think that this is just some fancy photo hocus-pocus..some are going to believe these are real horses...
all I've got to say is:
This is obviously faked! If you look carefully at his markings in this picture, the horse is almost certainly Laughing Boy, three-time winner of the 2,750 Guineas, Four Shillings and Thruppence in the 1950s (each time by a long neck). No way was it taken in 1915
Nice post, and welcome!
Nice post, and nice blog too.
across the windswept prairie
horses graze
and travellers stare at them
in great amaze
impressed not by the fact
their backs are long
as much as by the cost of feeding such a belly
a thing to make an owner
whoa-be-gone
Welcome, new monkey! Delightful post.
Equus longa, vita brevis.
(no, I don't actually speak Latin... why do you ask?)
Quite fitting that the owner of a long horse should also have a long dog.
Welcome, xenmate!
Welcome xenmate!
(pah to thosw who say mofi is dying!)
Thank you all for the warm welcome! And glad you liked the post too!
Whoopee ti-yi-yo, get a long little horsie!

Hi Xen, anybody that posts about horses is a stablemate of mine.
I see that this gene for longevity seems to have applied to his dog as well.

The Branching Bush of Horse Evolution
Interesting, but it doesn't say anything about the evolution of the long horse.
