Again, this is a pretty basic discussion -- what is your favorite horse? Do you even have a favorite horse? When I write 'favorite horse', I do not necessarily mean a horse you have met in person. Have you seen a horse you admired, on television or in a movie, or maybe at a horse show or on a parade, that you really admired or maybe even wanted for yourself? (And if you don't have a favorite horse, say that!) I immediately remember the movie Ladyhawke, and the horse in it, Goliath. (Clip of Ladyhawke -- and Goliath ). There is something magnificent about a Friesian! If you put in a graphic image, please make sure it is 600x600 or smaller. Thanks! Earn 25 Diamonds when you reply in here. Please be sure to have at least 150 words in your reply to get full count of Diamonds. You have until the end of September, HOL time, to earn your Diamonds.

Happy Birthday Katelin!!!

#1 I've heard of the Trojan horse before. We've learned about it in school and I saw many movies, shows and video games, even read about it in books and comic strips. I remember a lot of the funny ones. There's a meme about the trojan horse, which I believe itself was a parody on the story. Something like this for example. #2 I tend to agree with Adeline on this. I think it was a story that grew out of proportion. Some historians suggest that the Trojan Horse could be a symbolic representation of stratagems used in ancient warfare, rather than a literal giant wooden horse filled with Greek soldiers. It might symbolize some form of subterfuge or ruse Greeks used to infiltrate Troy, which over time evolved into the legend of the giant wooden horse. #3 It'd certainly be tough, that's for sure. Let's consider that no x-ray or other inspection methods would be used barring anyone inside making a noise that would prompt a search. I'd go with the Gävle goat method. Make a large wooden horse and put people in, giving them equipment to breathe. I'd also make it as sound-proof as possible. I'd say that the structure is for a festival or some other religious thing, making the others less likely to poke at it.

Happy Birthday, Mazur! Hope you have a good one. Enjoy and keep safe and healthy always!
