And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
At first glance, I thought those were Russian flags on the horse, but I see a tiny (star?) on the flag, so I reckon it's some other country, but I don't know which one.
Dad showed up with a golden palomino one day. She was the fastest and smoothest horse I've ever ridden. She was a decent cutter and almost left me sitting in air more times than I can count. She had papers a mile long. Honey Tamet. She looked a lot like that horse. I sure do miss her. On a dark night, she was a invisible. Her coat absorbed all the light. I've heard the old Comanche prized those horses for that reason.
The guys in the spandex are all wishing they were the guy riding the buckskin.
ReplyDeleteNo good reason to believe that.
DeleteWell ain't just a ray of sunshine.

ReplyDeleteIs it a Russian oblast (i.e., state)?
I'm thinking the Slovak flag. The countryside would match.
DeleteTexas state flag maybe
ReplyDeleteNope. Texas' flag has two horizontal stripes, red and white, with a blue vertical next to then. Our Lone Star is in the blue field.
Delete"them", not "then".
DeleteElmo, fwiw, that horse is a palomino. Buckskin ponys have a light colored coat with a dark/black mane and somewhat darker legs.
DeleteShows you how much I know about horses. :-/

DeleteRider in the back has 'Italia' on his rear end.
DeleteRelaxed in the saddle, giving the horse his head, going…what…25mph or so. Sweet!
