Marblehead Posted January 31, 2014 I like the horse on the forum banner. My memory won't recall all the info but somewhere in the area of Northwest China is the last small herd of the ancient line of all horses on the planet. These are the horses that migrated from North America before they were all killed off or became extinct in NA. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerostao Posted January 31, 2014 i think this is evidence of the power of suggestion theory. one is aware that it is the day that the year of the horse begins and everyone starts seeing a horse in an ambiguous rorschach test 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zanshin Posted January 31, 2014 The Asian ones are the only true wild horses left and are considered a different species or subspecies. Other wild horses are domesticated animals that escaped, but the Asian herd was never domesticated. Still very small population not sure of numbers a little further from extinction than maybe 20 years ago. There is a small all male herd at local nature preserve. It was hard to establish because naturally the males will fight until they kill each other. The vets gave them heavy duty psych meds (something usually used for schizophrenics) til they got accustomed to each other and then slowly tapered it, so now they share this herd for captive breeding programs. That is all I remember. I also got to pet a rhino the day I learned about them (friend who is a vet so I got to go on a special tour). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first time I read that I thought you said you had a pet rhino. Imagine taking that for a walk round the park. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerostao Posted January 31, 2014 my guess it the horse ran off the snake. everyone keeps saying horse, so i reckon a horse it is. scroll down the linked post to the second short paragraph about On Reverting To Your Original Innocencehttp://thetaobums.com/topic/14324-taoist-philosophy/ "The life of things passes by like a galloping horse. Every movement brings a change, and every hour makes a difference. What is one to do or what is one not to do? Indeed, everything will take its own course." Tao is a galloping horse, (a green one at that) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
