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.
I wonder how many takes it took to achieve that? A friend's old girl friend, who came from money, was into those Lipizzaners and bought one from a distinguished line out of Europe. She had it flown, in a private plane, just her, the horse, the pilots, and an assistant, from there to Michigan. What people don't do with their money.
I hate to do this, but the horse is a Fresian. They are always black and have long manes and tails. Lipizzaners are white at maturity. Dramatic photo in either case!
I I tried getting my Dutch Warmblood (a 'medium' Draft Breed) to Jump Up like that, by holding up a Carrot. That taught him to Head-Butt me and Grab the Carrot.
A well trained Lipizzaner and the beautiful handler.

ReplyDeleteDresses like that are why women rode side-saddle back in the day.
