Absolutely fascinating article.  @Headstall Thought you would appreciate how long ago they were breeding for spots.  

 

Spoiler

And it made me think of Heartland and the Mongolian Fjord Horses.  LOL

Fascinating, Val. It's amazing what DNA analysis can do now. It's not just about fossils anymore.   So, Appys were the first (and best), like the ancient cave paintings inferred.

Here's the question for tonight:  for those of you that jump, what's the highest fence you've ever jumped?  

 

Mine is four feet, I believe.  As a teenager I competed mainly at three feet, then in college I was jumping higher.  More 3'6" to 3' 9" fences.  

In high school I did track and field.  A 6' fence wasn't much of a challenge. Now I really have to prepare to get over lint.
