Yay! A new post to bring us past the fat cat drama!!

What a flexible little baby horse... Although- somehow I think this picture was chosen with a mischevious intent of perhaps continuing the controversy- does anyone else see what I see in this pic?

Whooooooaaaa there!

Seriously, that is ADORABLE but also all kinds of impressive. Flexible horsie!

NotANuff...I might. Are we talking something there is literally to be seen in here, or something that could be extrapolated?

...aaaand there's the proof that finals need to be done NOW...

NotANuff, I just hope he doesn't sing. William Hung has gone way past his 15 minutes of fame.;)

Jupiter Star-

I'm no expert on bebeh horse anatomy, so my assumptions are only based on my limited knowledge of certain appendages.

Theo- is this a ploy to beat the 400+ record of the fat cat?

NotANuff
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 06:34 PM

yes that would be a little COLT that will grow up to be the incredable 5 legged horse !

Aries-
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 06:36 PM

Nota -- 400 isn't close to the record... and Meg posted this.
(I'm the mod, she's Fearless Leader.)

My apologies to Meg for not giving her due credit as our Fearless Leader!

Awww... soooo soofft.

I LOVE foals at this age when they are all legs and not sure what to do with them!
A HUGE AWWWWW from me, a Kentucky native who is gearing up for the Best Day of the Year and the "Greatest Two Minutes in Sports"! I'll be watching for this lil guy in three years.

Oh pooh, I just noticed the date on the picture ('96). He's already retired by now I'm sure and probably spending his time "lovin' the ladies" and waiting for one of his children to make it into the winner's circle.

NotANuff -- I mistakenly read "Fearless leader" as "featherless leader"...nevermind. I think I need new glasses : P

Teho you still have puddin in your ear.


What is the record?

Susie
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:01 PM

Dustbunny-

I can't say for sure, but I am assuming that Meg is featherless as well as fearless- Although if she isn't, I think a photo of the befeathered cutie running this site would be in order!

NotANuff
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:07 PM

Susie, there were over a thousand for sure, on The Post Which Must Not Be Named, but involved a baby and a cat.

Nyah, Nyah--Theo needs a proboscis!

[ducks flying pudding]

As for this horsie doing downdog to [long pause] Yanni--we'll that's just proof positive that the Peaceable Kingdom can indeed exist, all fatcat post evidence to the contrary. http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~bump/ranch/peace.jpeg

Not that I'm looking for commentrovesy- but has the Post Which Must Not Be Named been removed??

I don't take pleasure from drama, it's just that... well, the writing on Lost recently has been so disappointing!- I need some of my weekly drama to keep going.

Yes, I went through all the kitty pictures, Laurie C. but I suppose I will just have to keep searching!

NotANuff
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:37 PM

NotaNuff and Jupiter - what are you talking about? What's wrong with this picture?

nutmeg
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:39 PM

The Post Which Must Not Be Named (or linked) is in "Cute or Sad," good luck.

nutmeg
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:41 PM

Aww, he hasn't grown into his legs yet! Look at his fuzzy little tail!

Everbound Venvel
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:46 PM

All knees and elbows....probably underfed....damned grass....(totally joking). =)

Tiffany
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:46 PM

nutmeg-

It's not like there is anything WRONG with it- I find the bebeh horse (and yes, I know it's techincally a colt, but I like the term bebeh horse) absolutely adorable.

It's just that the bebeh horse seems to have a friend hanging out with him in the photo. Hanging large. Hanging well hung. Hanging like William Hung (props to Suzy's Mom). Hanging like 'When a Mommy Horse and a Daddy Horse Love Each Other Very Much...."

Ahem- and I wrong? Is it not a P3N!$??

NotANuff
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:53 PM

LOL...are we going to nuff about animals being *naked* now?

'cause I gotta say...horse pants? That would look pretty silly.

Jaye
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 07:59 PM

omg this is FUNNY!aaaahg! were is this cuti little colt?i neeeeeeeed it(say in 14 year old voice)

candycane
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:07 PM

Pants would be silly....but a horsie sweater would be darned cute!

And P.S. This baby's got nuthin on my draft ;-)

nutmeg
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:09 PM

Hehehe- I'm not 'nuffing! I think the bebeh horse is very cute!

I was just predicting p3n!$-troversy. You know, the normal, "I'm not a prude, but my children look at this site, and I don't want them to see a horse p#n!$."

Anyway, I've posted too much about this pic already, so I am heading out to leave room for some other appendage-jokes.

NotANuff
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:12 PM

Oh my gosh. This discussion takes me back to a visit to the state fair when I was in elementary school. I saw a horse there that was, well, let's just say he was very well endowed.

to the floor, people.

not kidding.

floppycat
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:15 PM

That horse is obviously photoshopped.

Suda Nim
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:17 PM

What a cutie!

And yes, he has horse anatomy. So do some guys I know. *Ducks the rotten tomatoes flying in my direction..*

Hmmm....horse sweater....hmmmmm....I wonder if my fil's girlfriend will measure her horses for me to adapt a dog sweater knitting pattern for her horses?

And how much yarn would that take anyway?

Teri
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:28 PM

William will be a prince he looks so beutifuls, already.

leah
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:35 PM

Yeah, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this pic, either...it's totally adorabuls! But considering that there have been Nuffs on here harping about "inappropriate" comments on photos, I'm just waiting to see if any of them show up and start harping on horse genetalia being OMGNOTWORKSAFENOWICANTLOOKATCUTEOVERLOADWHENIMSUPPOSEDTOBEWORKINGZ!!!!

Jupiter Star
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:44 PM

Oh har HAR Suda Nim.
Now if that were ME, it'd be 'shopped.

(PS -- the record for most post comments is > 1200... the comment-counting tool gets a little weird sometimes, though, so even though it shows 1215, I can't be sure it's accurate... and I'm not about to count 'em myself.)

Theo
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:51 PM

Sure it's not just a dark spot on his cute little leg? It's one of those things you could see many different ways.

I love his little socks, soooo white.

DumBunny
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:51 PM

Eeeeee! Horsie 'tocks up! Worship the 'tocks, people! The wobbly knees too!

Sabella
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:54 PM

Actually, y'wanna know what my first thought was?
"Um -- that's NOT a dog."
Next thought?
"...oh"

Theo
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 08:55 PM

Such a zen horseling.

Aaah. Peace.

come on guys. 50% of the mammalian population has one. it's not a big deal.

moonablaze
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 09:19 PM

I love it when they haven't grown into their legs yet! *LMAO!*

*drawls* As for the, ahem, controversial subject...heck, I'm surrounded by ranchland. Few folks in these here parts get their feathers ruffled over catching a glimpse of the equipment on your average farm animal!

Little colt has his head down so far that his front legs look like they're attached at a weird angle - very comical. And, yes, he's visibly a MALE horsie. Deal. In the words of the late Shel Silverstein:

They've Put a Brassiere on the Camel

They've put a brassiere on the camel,
She wasn't dressed proper, you know.
They've put a brassiere on the camel,
So that her humps wouldn't show.
And they're making other respectable plans,
They're even insisting that pigs should wear pants,
They'll dress up the ducks if we give them a chance
Since they've put a brassiere on the camel.

They've put a brassiere on the camel,
They claim she's more decent this way.
They've put a brassiere on the camel,
The camel had nothing to say.
They squeezed her into it, I'll never know how,
They say that she looks more respectable now,
Lord knows what they've got in mind for the cow,
Since they've put a brassiere on the camel.

For commentroversy to bloom, there must be a human in the photo. So if there was a human in the background, we'd probably be seeing posts like "zomg!!!!!1!1!11 hyooman lookin at horsee p3n1s!1!!1111 abyoose!!1!1111!1" I think we're pretty safe since this pic is sans human.

janet
 |  Apr 10, 2007 at 10:37 PM

but janet, the photographer is probably human, and at least the MAJORITY of internet users are human...

Gawwwwr! So cute. <3 <3 <3 I love it.

I just discovered, as well, that in my animal pictures folder, I have a House macro. I'm not sure why.

Jira

Awwwww..Looks like he didn;t want to move back to get the grass!

Bethan

This little colt is so adorable....all knobby knees and long legs. I'm sure eventually the rest of him caught up tho.

Floppycat - The same thing happened to me in the 80's. Being raised in suburbia, I wasn't accustomed to seeing horses up close and personal. While living in Hawaii, my sister and I took our kids to a Hawaiian rodeo, and as we were walking around the stalls I beheld my first stallion. I motioned for my sister to come and take a look. We were both somewhat dazed until our kids wanted to know what we were looking at. Aloha stallion! We were outta THERE in a hurry! LMAO!!
