This is almost like the beginning of my Horselock fic The Horse and his Doctor ... (of the book of which, by the way, are still some copies available):

Or what's the name of the big grey animal with a long nose?

I take it you are referring to Elephantidae, which I will take as a compliment, given they are the most intelligent non-human animal and have astounding memories. Maybe elephants have a mind palace of their own, it must be enormous in that big skull.

If we are looking for an animal that represents my grace, I would either suggest a big cat that can climb well with amazing balance that can even survive falls from high heights in the mountains, such as the snow leopard.

Or if we are talking herbivores, I think my gracefullness can be compared to the Lipizzan horses. Those horses are artists in high classical dressage, haute ecole, the best in the world and experts at performing capriole, the most difficult jump.

My generous patron @ellipsisaspired wanted horses as her July prompt... I chose Mongolian wild horses, because I love them and I’m going to see them today in Helsinki zoo. Happy birthday to me indeed! ♥
