of course whatever reason they have in their minds is for our benefit
even if it isnt
and even if it was it is not their decision to make
so any way you look it its wrongful
there is something very wrong with that person
The Kentucky derby is this Saturday.
It got me to thinking about equines and how we have shared a long history with them particularly in the military. Horses, mules and donkeys provided for our soldiers in ways too numerous to count.
Horses in warfare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first use of horses in warfare occurred over 5,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of horses ridden in warfare dates from Eurasiabetween 4000 and 3000 BC. A Sumerian illustration of warfare from 2500 BC depicts some type of equine pulling wagons. By 1600 BC, improved harness and chariot designs made chariot warfare common throughout the Ancient Near East, and the earliest written training manual for war horses was a guide for training chariot horses written about 1350 BC. As formal cavalry tactics replaced the chariot, so did new training methods, and by 360 BC, the Greek cavalry officer Xenophon had written an extensive treatise on horsemanship. The effectiveness of horses in battle was also revolutionized by improvements in technology, including the invention of the saddle, the stirrup, and later, the horse collar.
Many different types and sizes of horse were used in war, depending on the form of warfare. The type used varied with whether the horse was being ridden or driven, and whether they were being used for reconnaissance, cavalry charges, raiding, communication, or supply. Throughout history, mules and donkeys as well as horses played a crucial role in providing support to armies in the field.
Wouldn’t it be funny if they raced Mules on Sunday following the derby on Saturday?
Mules are smart and can be very quick. When I lose track of time with my mule he has my back. kek kek
