"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Caught an episode of Human Planet on Saturday, featuring a 16-year-old Kazakh making his first hunt with an eagle he had captured and trained. They had a camera mounted on the eagle. OH, MAN! I want to see an entire movie on this type of hunting in IMAX.
:) An interesting entymological study could be written around when a horse is or isn't a pony...having encountered any number of 16 hand ponies and 12 hand horses I sometimes think equus might be safer.
Nice feet on that pony. What do their horses run, about 14 hands or so?
ReplyDeleteAnd just a cool photo!
12- 14. And if you call one a "pony" both Mongol and Kazakh will correct you: "HORSE!"
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of our own horse photos-- this one was sent to us, though we know the area.
That is a thing of profound beauty!
